On Facebook a lady had watched a video of me shooting wood worm trails in a tree trunk and commented "Need a camera  so I can take your class"

I responded back that you can do most of what I do with your cell phone camera.

I always talk about shooting at f/32 to get max depth of field so all of the subjects will be in focus.

What do camera phones do really well, gets everything in focus.  It's like you are always shooting a f/32.

So basically, if I'm shooting subjects at f/32 you can get the same results with your phone. So that is why I told the lady that says she needs a camera to take my classes, you really don't if you have a phone camera.

This year I'm planning on doing some of my flower photography with my Samsung S23 phone, the images look pretty darn good with this phone.
