[Photography] So...

[moonvoice]

Lately I've been getting into macro photography.
I got an Olloclip for my iPhone,
and all of these photos are taken with the iPhone.
I've mostly been hunting around in the garden,
having a good time.

These are very striking! My favourite is the fifth, I think, but there is so much to see in all of them. Thank you for sharing them. :)

You're welcome, :) Most of them are taken of a passionfruit vine in flower, it was a good subject. The flowers are so intricate, with so many textures.

Wow... I love these. Especially the last one with the purple tendrils...

[moonvoice]

It's part of a passionfruit flower. They are so lovely :)

Do you get BBC Wildlife Magazine over there? I think it would be worth submitting some of these to their photography competition. There is usually something interesting in that.

[moonvoice]

We probably do, but I doubt any of this would be good enough for their competitions! Plus it's on the iPhone, so I'm not sure it'd be a high enough resolution.

Beautiful macros!

[moonvoice]

Thank you! <3

Your fuzzy plants! <3
Tendrils! Ants!

Which is to say, these are beautiful and I had no idea an iPhone could do such nice macros.

Edit: Also that second photo is just lovely, the soft colors and the lines of it make me very happy.

I'm using a very tiny attachment lens called an Olloclip, and it comes with two macro lenses. I've always wanted better macro lenses for my DSLR, but they cost...you know, generally over $1000 at the very least, and sometimes a great deal more. Whereas an Olloclip comes with like... a fish-eye lens, a wide-angle lens, and two macro lenses and is about $100. So I saved up and snagged it. :) The only catch is you can't wear it with any protective casing, so I have to remove my Otterbox every time I use it.

I like the last one most of all, but they are very beautiful, thank you.

[moonvoice]

Ah you're welcome, I'm glad you like them!

I've said it before but I do love your macro shots. Are you finding it a challenge to keep steady enough to take them?

Looove macro photography myself... never thought you could take such good photos with your iphone.
what the heck is an Olloclip? An app? Or something you add to your phone so that you can take such photos?

These are truly stunning photos!
