Hi all!
Macro shots are so amazing! They show us unbelievable fantastic world that we normally do not notice. We all know that it's possible to make awesome macro shots with DSLR cameras+ special macro lenses, but sometimes we even do not realize that it is also possible on your mobile phones.
One way is to purchase special macro lenses for your phone (http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/)
Another ways:
1) Use magnifying glass
2) put a water drop on your phone lens (depending on the form and convexity of the drop it will let you make photos from a very short distance and get some magnification)
3) Disassemble something old/broken/unuseful that contains small lenses
I used third way and disassembled my old broken Canon S3 camera and got there many lenses of different sizes.
Some of them are useless because don't let to focus some are too big, but some have very good size for the phone.
I like small lens 9mm in diameter from there that I easy can put between the case and the phone and get macroiphone :)))) This lens helps me to make shots of 7x10 mm area:
This shot was done with help of 50/1.8 Helios-77 manual lens. I just hold it in one hand near the flower and in other hold my iphone:
I've also heard that many people disassembled old CD/DVD drives and get small laser lens out of there.
So you can experiment with macro on your phones and you are very welcome to share your phone macro photos here!
@sdpace Yes just through 50mm :) But iphone should be maximum close to one end (which normally attached to camera) and place the object rather close from another end. Focusing distance and maximum magnification may vary between lenses.
