iPhone Camera Photo Blog: Super macro

Super macro

This is a result of using the lens out of an old computer CD player laser and placing it over the iPhone front facing camera. I found the tip on a DIY site regarding macro photography and smart phones. It turns the regular camera into a super macro lens.

I'm truly a geek at heart and have been tearing things apart since I was 6. Just ask my brother about his fishing reel.

From the top and clockwise. The tip of a ball point pen, iPod ear bud screen, the "In God We Trust" of a quarter and a circuit connector on computer RAM. Things lying around my desk at work.
