Super Tip - Super Macro

My Super Tip for today is what wonderful iPhography can happen when you marry a Swiss Army Knife & an iPhone

Now don’t make me slap you, if your gonna say that you don’t have a Swiss Army Knife?? You can survive almost anything in life with a Swiss Army Knife, a Zippo, an iPhone & a roll of gaff tape. But if for some strange reason you don’t own one or don’t have enough spare cash, then pop down to your local gadget store & grab a cheap $5 magnifying lens or better yet, grab all different kinds & experiment

Note in the iPhograph above, the direction the knife is facing. It works much better this way as you can rest the iPhone on the lens & get in closer than if the handle was the other way around.

Here are some macro iPhography examples I quickly shot before sunset. I only used iPhoto’s crop & enhance tools

Who said you cant get good macro on an iPhone? Above is a 5 cent piece (Not the larger 20) the item that may destroy your iPhone because Apple won’t put a sliding/flap dock cover

This is one of those small clover flower thingies (my wifes description) Notice the nice Bokeh

The above was a cactus tree from my neighbor that drops all of it’s flowers over my fence. But keep in mind that you don’t just need to use the lenses to keep things in focus they also can create some wonderful defocused iPhographs
