Samsung Galaxy s 23 Ultra. Takes the best outside and inside pictures I’ve ever seen out of a camera phone. Had to do a quick edit I see you got the same phone. Lol

My wife and daughter both have iphone 16’s their cameras aren’t near as good as the cameras on mine. I love taking pictures of cannabis. I take shitloads of photos. I probably have a few thousand bud pictures and plant pictures on my phone.

Same here. I take a lot of pictures. IPhone 15 and not the pro model but it takes decent hi-res pics. I don’t see me upgrading the device anytime soon. That’s what Apple wants (for sure).

I used a photography box with a pin frog and a black background along with diffused lighting then replaced background.

Way over my head. I just point my phone and try to use the sunlight and the natural background.
What the heck is a pin frog?

It’s a base used to hold flowers upright and still.

@TrichHunter420 I believe your only allowed to put up one BOM entry. Also I believe we cant change the picture once its entered.

The moderator did it @plumbdand I woke up and clicked on the notification but guess it had expired or something so it was blank. @AfgVet did this for me i guess as a surprise and Im thankful for it. But I honestly have won once and Im cool with someone else thats never won to win. I was just sharing people what White Truffle looks like alive and how colorful they are because I’ve bought it from the dispensary and loved it ,I love it even more now that Ive grown it ,Im not tryin to break any rules growbro

I didn’t think you were trying to break any rules. Thought maybe you didn’t know thats all. No worries.

I use copy paper for the background (somewhere I saw a post that ILGM likes white backgrounds in case they want to use your bud for their picture) and brought in my shop light for the brightness. Then hold another piece of copy paper below the bud to reflect the light up. I try shots from all angles with different light setting then go thru hundreds of shots till I find the one that is it. Then enter it and only get a couple votes. Lol. It’s all good! Nothing better to do in retirement when you can’t walk very good. I love the challenge of growing and have learned so much on this forum. I really enjoy the last month of the grow to manipulate the plant to get the best colors. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.

I hear ya man, that’s how I started messing with it, then a tripod, then construction paper, then poster board now it’s s a photography box and tripod with a timer and I still can’t seem to remember to keep my sticky fingers off the damn camera lens :grimacing::call_me_hand:
