Some of the photos on this forum look fantastic, but I've been pretty underwhelmed with my attempts to photograph my handguns with my smartphone. I get too much glare with a flash and too many shadows without one. If I hold the camera close the perspective seems distorted, but if I take the picture farther away and then crop it I lose detail. Any pointers that forum members could offer would be appreciated. I don't want to invest in an SLR.
