iPhone macro lens from Photojojo.com (seen here with wide angle lens attached)
I finally got a few minutes to pry off the case that I’ve had my iPhone in for years and try out my new iPhone macro lens (New case with bigger lens opening coming soon). I am giddy to share these with you. I can hardly believe the images myself… most of them are SOOC – no sharpening, contrast work, or anything besides a little cropping here and there. I know! I am blown away. Now I just have to figure out how to stabilize the phone more because every tiny wobble makes a huge impact. Do they make iPhone tripods???
Let me know what you think!

Hey there! First thanks for giving me a great Valentine’s Day gift idea for my husband! He’s is in LOVE with his iPhone mostly for the camera and this is the tripod thingy that he swears by: http://www.studioneat.com/products/glifplus
he also uses a gorilla pod, which is a small bendy tripod (I’m sure you know it) and I think we got ours at REI (also doubles as a great toy for a 2 year old – just sayin). Those pictures are amazing!
great photos, and darcy thanks for the info on the tripod – right now i am trying to figure out why i am carring 20lbs of equipment around!
Seriously amazing!!! Macro shots are my FAVORITE!!!! (even if they’re not my husband’s) I may have to check out the lens…only problem is – I need a heavy duty case. 20 month olds just don’t get that you can’t drop or throw the phone when momma says no more elmo!
Oh tell me about it! I have the same problem, except my 3 year old is starting to be so familiar with it that she can use most of the apps easily.
Wow – those are incredible! Who would have thought that an iPhone could take such amazing photos? Good for you for getting that lens – thanks for sharing!!
Incredible…well worth the $20!

I’m stunned that those were taken by a phone. I’m thinking that the $$$ spent on my macro lens and the tripod to hold it would have been better spent on an iphone. Wow!
I think I just found reason 108 to replace my rotary dial cell phone w an iphone.
Where’s the “like” button???
Only $20??!! SOLD! Placing my order now…
Lol. I should be getting a kickback or something for all these new lens purchases.
You should be making commission! Just wanted to let you know that when I went on photojojo to order mine I did see some cool iPhone tripods. I can’t wait for my delivery!
beautiful! i love macro-photography!

I like the composition and the tones in the last photo.
I so wish I had an iPhone. I always wondered if these little lenses worked at all. B-E-A-UTIFUL pictures! I cannot believe the amazing detail.
Thanks, Heather. I was just editing some more… truly fun and amazing. Maybe you’ll have one someday?
