It's another rainy day here, wish we could share some rain with those who need it!

So, because of the rain, I carefully took the phone with the new 100mm lens out after my walk with Ranger for some more photos.

Some of these were taken despite the breeze blowing the subjects around, so there is some motion blur.

Wow! Those are really closeup, too. Thanks for sharing those. It sure rains a lot where you are, doesn’t it?

Thanks for looking Greg! Appreciate your compliment too! My pleasure to share.

I'm not sure about the annual rainfall, but it does seem to me that it does rain a lot!

The rain makes for some interesting photo ops, too.

That it does, just as the freezing weather with its frost and ice does.

Very pretty colors on all of these but they all appear to be a tad out of focus. Were you hand holding or was the Phone mounted on a tripod

Can you say a little more about the 100mm lens you used? Is it a screw mount or clamp mount? Would you recommend it? Have you tried a telephoto lens for your phone?

What kind of Smartphone do you shoot with?

Thanks for looking and for your question. The 100mm lens from Apexel Technology Co screws into its mount which clamps onto the sides of the phone case. The lens slides manually into position over the camera lens. I would recommend it.

I have tried a telephoto lens, but had limited success with it. I might see if Apexel Technology Co has a telephoto lens compatible with the mount.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. But the Apexel Technology Co lens system would work with most any smartphone.

Thanks for looking and for your compliment and question. I had the phone mounted on a tripod mounted slide rail.

As stated in my post, the photos are taken despite the breeze blowing the subjects around. I thought they came out pretty well considering the flowers were in motion.

Thank you for your response. I have not tried any lenses for the phone but am thinking of purchasing a telephoto lens. I am hoping Apple releases more than 3x in the next generation of the iphone.
