Super Macro Your Cellphone Camera Using DVD Lens
A DIME
We have a different style of doing a macro shot using our camera. Some crop the photo or use a different macro lens or macro filter. In this sample image you see that the image is totally different. You don’t need to use an expensive macro lenses to do the job.
The face of Franklin D Roosevelt on a dime was taken by combining different lenses (Cellphone lens & DVD lens). This is not possible by pointing your camera about less than 20mm (2cm) away from the dime face. What I did was a process of “lensectomy” using the lens from an old PC DVD player as a macro filter. I attached the PC DVD player’s lens on my iPhone and focused it on the dime’s head just a few mm away. The DVD player’s lens served as my modified macro filter. Cool hack huh?
Here's how it looks like when attaching the lens...
Here's brand new additonal macro shot using cellphone with hack DVD macro filter.
