One of the main novelties of the iPhone 13 Pro Y iPhone 13 ProMaxas far as the photographic section is concerned, it is the macro mode. This proposal, which is exclusive to the aforementioned terminals, allows you to capture macro photos with a high level of detail. Since its launch we have seen users share amazing images and, if you share that same hobby, Apple invites you to send your best photos.
The initiative “Shot on iPhone”, which each year proposes different challenges, this time it focuses on the macro photography of the iPhone 13 Pro. Starting today, those interested in participating have until February 16 to share their best captures. Where? You have various options. You can do it through Twitter or Instagram adding the hashtag #ShotOniPhone to your post.
It is also possible to send the images directly to Apple through the email [email protected] with the subject “Shot on iPhone Macro Challenge Submission”. Don’t forget to name the image following this format: “firstname_lastname_macro_iPhonemodel”.
Is it possible to edit the images with any editing software? Yes. “Photos can be taken solely with the camera or edited using the tools in the Photos app or third-party editing software,” Apple says. Another point you should keep in mind is that, in order to participate, you need to be of legal age (18 years old).
To choose the best macro photos taken with the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple will rely on a jury of photography experts: Anand Varma, Apeksha Maker, Peter McKinnon, Paddy Chao, Yik Keat Lee, Arem Duplessis, Billy Sorrentino, Della Huff, Kaiann Drance, and Pamela Chen. The winners will be announced until April.
Before concluding, you should know that Apple has shared some tips for capturing the best possible macro photo. We reproduce them in full below:
- Get as close as you can to what you are going to photograph, up to 2 centimeters if you want.
- Place the main focus point in the center of the image, because that’s where iPhone macro photography gets the most detail.
- Tap an area of the viewfinder to choose a specific focus point.
- Take the photo at 5x magnification to capture an ultra-wide angle view, or try taking it at only 1x magnification for a tighter frame. iPhone will automatically switch cameras when you get close to maintain the setting.
