I took photos of some of my lithops ("split rock" plants). Lithops normally have two leaves, and each winter they grow two new leaves and shed their old leaves. The red ones shown above are "stacked," meaning they have retained their old leaves and now have multiple pairs. They also divided into two plants last year (producing four new leaves instead of two, aka "having twins!") The orange plant is splitting, so the old leaves are shriveling away and the new leaves are peeking through.

I used the close-up manual focus on my Samsung phone in Pro mode, using the most extreme macro focus or near to that. I also played with the shutter speed. For the macro photos above, I pressed my 10x triplet loupe to the phone's lens. I also tried using a macro lens phone attachment, but the quality was worse. Both tools are shown below. Any advice on how to get more of the image in focus would be appreciated. The depth of field is very narrow! Could I get a broader focus with a DSLR, where I could play with the aperture?
