A dying Bee

I am trying out the Macro setting on the camera on my phone.
Not at all sure if so am doing it correctly but surely I will get it right sooner rather than later.
I found a new on one of my Raspberry bushes and sadly I think it is buzzing it's last buzz.
It was moving, but maybe it was just the breeze making it move.
So I took a few snaps
And then I tried to photograph some flowers.
Any advice..
I am finding it quite difficult to keep the camera still when taking a photo.

@Ineeddentures You do not need to operate it, it's always present.

@Ineeddentures Thanks for that compliment but I am not really confident when it comes to that.

Sorry about the bee. I wonder why it was dying. No advice, because I don't take close up shots too often. I took one a few months ago of the rings on a tree though. I was thinking about posting it on myLot but didn't get around to it. I still might, if I am hard up for a discussion. It's annoying posting pics on here though.

I have no idea why it is dying .
It maybe got caught in the rain overnight
Rings on a tree would look cool.
I would like to see that

@Ineeddentures That's a good shot. Maybe you should put up a website and try to sell some, or there are apps where you can sell your pics too.

Some mobiles now have a camera setting for Motion pictures but I have not tried them.
You can check if your phone has that.
Or may be a pro Mode where you know something about adjusting the shutter speed.

Took me long enough to find Macro.
I shall look at Pro Mode and see what else it can do.
Until today I had left it on low standard to keep file size down and had not gone near settings
Thanks for the advice

I never thought that my hand was so shaky.
For all I will use a Macro setting a tripod wouldn't be worth it.
Wasnt even sure if a tripod for a phone was even a available

I have a basic flip phone with a mediocre camera. I just bought a camera with all kinds of features. I should be able to take some cool pictures with it. Sorry I can't help you with your phone pix.

Macro photos are hard without a tripod of resting your hands on a solid surface

I found that out.
I will keep trying
You can see in the camera why the photos could look so good
