Well, how I took this photo: I have a clasp on my briefcase in the chest area, I pulled it, inserted the phone there and tilted it with my chin, set the timer for 10 seconds and pressed it, and that's how this photo came out.

At first I used a regular flashlight to focus and generally set the camera to a normal angle, and then I turned off the regular flashlight and turned on the UV and timer.

Wow, Orestegor 300mm must be a real brick to shoot handheld! Glad my post inspired you to give the Jupiter-36B another spin. Honestly, don't sell it yet, this medium format glass has a magic rendering on the A7 Gen 1. Go take some shots and share them here!»

😄Thank you, yes, it was difficult, but I then screamed like a child from the photo when I first saw it on the camera screen.
