Bone? Tooth? or Nothing?

[hokietech96]

Hi.  Need some help with this one because I usually only collect shark teeth.  I was at Big Brook in NJ and a came across this.  I feel like it is something but I have no idea.  Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Play around with distance, and try to have the object on a flat surface (like your initial photos). Some other tips can be found here: https://iphonephotographyschool.com/focus-tips/

This is a typical ironstone concretion. 

They fool everyone, frequently.

You move the phone away from the subject until focused, shoot and then crop the photo to size. If you Google "how to focus iPhone" you can read all about it.

 

On iPhone 5s and above you have the HDR feature available also. However, if the phone is used with a tripod or held dead still by other means you'll get a very good image. Newer phones have macro settings which help immensely. Or you can buy a clip-on macro lens for about 30 dollars online.
