In search of the little lens by jocasta

In search of the little lens

wow - thank you to everybody who commented on my get-pushed photo and got it to the PP - v.exciting seeing it there.
This is for juliphone - In this photo I'm ripping apart an old film camera in search of the little lens - to make a macro lens for my iPhone. Eventually got to it and - hooray - it works.


Here's a link to how to do it.

Congratulations on the PP, again! Very well done, I think that photo is stunning.

Love the idea of making a macro lens for your iPhone, might try it. BTY, the link to the other album didn't work .....

Congratulations on the PP, it is a fab shot and truly deserves its place there. Very interesting shot here and amazed by your skills, would be so scared to open up any camera!

congrats on the pp, and I may well have a try at this. got a number of old cameras, and an iphone without a macro lens.it certainly seems to be working for you :-)

@jaynspain Hi - been playing with the macro lens - it's ok but you have to have the iPhone so close that I can only take photos of very small things

Wow, how clever. Pic looks great!

What a great idea, I need to go and search out some old cameras in the drawers and cupboards!

Nice shot - my fav for today

Very brave. Love the magnifier effect.

Great idea to take a shot through the magnifying glass and even better idea to make your own macro lens! You are just full of good ideas and good shots!
