 Trichome color variance- When to Harvest?

When checking the trichomes for ripeness, do I check the top of the bud (newest growth) or the middle of the bud?
I ask because the tops of my buds are showing mostly clear/some cloudy trichomes, but the older growth and leaves are showing half amber/half cloudy.
I clipped a sample bud two weeks ago when all the trichomes were still clear. The potency was good then, can't wait to smoke the finished buds!
This is a pic from a few days ago...

There are other ways to judge too...do you have a macro setting on your camera where you could take a closeup of the budsites?

No macro setting, very old camera. The hairs are mostly white, I know that when they change color, harvest is near. I think I'll harvest when most of the trichomes are cloudy and the rest amber on several budsites.

I have always found that when you first start nociting the amber trichomes its a good time to harvest.
