Taking Photos With Phone, Help Please

[barry1010]

Neither my wife nor I are interested in taking photos although we do so when necessary.

I need to take a close up photo in real size and email it keeping the original size.

How? The closer I get the bigger the image.

You may be able to alter the zoom by using 2 fingers on the screen. If that fails, maybe editing the image in an image editing app afterwards may work.

What is the image of?

As an aternative, if it's a smallish object put a ruler next to it and then take a picture. The recipient can then see the size.

You have no control over how the receiver will view it so the only way, as NMA suggests, is to place a ruler near it.

Bednobs - when we went to sprinkle my dad's ashes into Loch Earn I spied a field of sheep way on the other side of the loch. Being a kid I pointed them out to my wee brother.

My brother looked at me and said, "They are far away, so they look small—they are fekkin' caravans."

Sorry for disrupting your thread Barry!

[bednobs]

yes, sorry barry

I'm trying to take photos for this service 

https://www.lockingwheelnutkeys.co.uk/

[bhg481]

I looked at those, barry; it was going to cost around £45 for my Volvo. If you tell them the size socket to remove the non-locking ones that will be all the informtion they need.

I already have a socket for mine (I bought a spare when I bought the car) but, having lost one, I want to get another spare. I thought of trying one of these:

You've confused me, bhg. The non-locking nuts are much smaller and nothing like the locking nuts. They aren't asking for that information 

[netherfield]

My phone has a setting called macro, symbol looks like a little flower. That's for taking close ups.

 

[bhg481]

Perhaps your car is different from my Volvo. The same socket fits the locking nuts and the plain ones on my car; the lock-key fits over the wheel nut and has a hex plug on the end which takes a normal socket. You order the keys by car manufacturer so that, along with a picture of the pattern, should tell them exactly which key to send you.

[barry1010]

I've had a go with Macro settings and am giving up.

Off to KwikFit for me

It might be worth taking a photo of the whole wheel, tell then the tyre size and using their "contact us" to ask their advice.

[mjwman]

Size does not matter just make sure you have a sharp one. If you can't get that close get as close as you can then crop the image using edit in Photos.
I have seen the web site and 1:1 sizing is not specified. OItys the pattern that is important

[barry1010]

It says:

Please ensure that the photo is taken in normal/actual size and also sent in this same way without reducing the sizing. If you're

As has been said, you have no control over how the recipient gets the image.  They could have a large screen and it shows bigger on it than on a different computer.

Also, if you are using a phone, when you email it you might be asked whether you want to send it original size or reduced size.  I'd select original size.  Also depending how your phone is setup, images may be sent as attachments or they may be sent inline (ie. shows in the body of the message.)

Take your photo as close up as possible, but include something in the photo for scale eg. a ruler, a coin etc.  eg.
