Loupe + Stickytape = Macro !



The results are surprisingly good.



Of course, with such high pixel counts in the latest smartphones you can get plenty of Zoom just by cropping your images and save the trouble of dealing with a macro lens. But this setup gives you a depth-of-field that is artistically pleasing, and you get a waaay cool Through-the-Loupe vignette effect at no extra cost!

Give it a try -- I think you'll be pleased, too

 

I laughed - but wow, it does work!

 

This image shows the resulting vignette a little better (your results may vary)

 

Thanks for the heads up, I will give it a try!

 

Everybody should have a loupe.. and a macrolens

I used to have a 10x aplanatic gemmologists eye loupe. Less distortion than a typical loupe. I wonder how that would work? Wish I still had it!

 

"Vignette" - a fancy way to say "fish eye effect".

 

clever with the loupe haha

 

This is clever. And if you want to get a little more high tech there is a cool macro lens for iPhone that i came across for just $70. Nice way to get cool photos of our watches. http://www.olloclip.com/product/iph...nJunction&utm_campaign=AffiliateMarketing2013

 

Amazing photographs ! Thought provoking especially the eye ones, as someone who has loads of surgery on my eyes they are well I'm speechless. I never think of using my smartphone, I always connect photos with a camera, great work give me more,

 

I gotta try this...with the Omega loupe.

Thanks for the heads up, @Jones in LA.

 

Aha! That's right! Senor Gonzales came with all that cool stuff!

 

That is correct, sir.

Commencing testing of Omega loupe outside of watch geek activities.

 

Oh, yeah man! Macro city!

 

Oh, this is just great...so that's why my Rush 2112 album is skipping near the end of "A Passage To Bangkok"...just flipping great.

 

Did not know that "olloclip" devices. I have been messing with my Loupesystem (which is in fact great as a loupe) but is quite expensive and has not solved properly how to attach to my iphone (you must use an integral case, which I do not like).

 

thx for the pointers ... I am off to do some basic DIY

Well ... who'd a thunk it!?!!!

Thanks for posting.
