How are you guys/gals getting photos of trichomes through a jeweler’s loupe? I can’t seem to get any to come out right.

Takes a bit of practice finding the correct focal distance between the camera, loupe, and subject matter. I usually ended up taking dozen photos for every keeper.

I don’t use a loupe but make that 2 dozen for me.
But I agree, fiddling with distance etc

I’ve had better luck with dual magnifying glasses than I ever did with a loupe.
You’d be better off with a USB magnifier, it’s a game changer.
Oops, wrong USB magnifier…
Thank you @Oldtimerunderground for the optics upgrade

Somebody went for the optional microscope stand 
Those are underrated…You can do nice work with them.

Wow, phone only! Thats a huge step forward. Looks incredible. Are you point and shoot or manual settings? Android here… no way to get that macro!!!

Point and shoot, it autofocuses when you get in close. All I do is zoom in

Between the camera and the Photone app I take back everything bad I said about people who finance their phones. It’s kinda worth the $40/month especially since I only pay 15 for service

Still experimenting. The jewelers loupe seems like wasted money. I found my usb microscope, it’s a little better. Nothing like what you guys/gals are posting. Trying to figure out when to harvest. Its been almost 9 weeks since flipping to 12/12.
