I think buying more gear, in this case the macro attachment for the main iPhone lens and the case, lessens the impressiveness of “shot on an iPhone”. Granted, the gear is smaller and less expensive than macro lenses for my mirrorless camera, but I’d like to see what you could do with the built-in 12mp macro lens on the iPhone 15 pro. The Lightroom mobile camera allows you to shoot with the UW lens in DNG format. The iPhone camera app shoots RAW only with the main lens. Nice results with the droplets, no matter what equipment was used.

I've got both of Don's books and have seen/heard him speak at a macro conference I went to near Cleveland, OH several years ago. Just bought a Playtpod Extreme recently so hope to try some of his techniques. Absolutely LOVE his work!
