[Photo Tips] Mobile Camera Macro Photography using Macro Lens - TravellerG

[TravellerG]

This post is published in Collaboration with @Adarshiips .

First, let me congratulate our “LGs Photo World” member Adarsh for his excellent Photographic Skills - he is a Blessed, Talented Member & a regular contributor in the group.

I am sure you will like his Photo - If so, kindly appreciate him & inspire him.

• Most of you might have understood the “Object” - right? (Please be frank)
• A “Drop of Water” on it (Object is given at the end of the post)

This shot is captured with the object, held with the fingers - quite naturally, Adi has used a 10X Macro Lens attached to the mobile camera. I have slightly edited his shot for publishing.

There are many varieties of Macro Lens Kits available in the market. Amazon offers even 10 days’ Returnable Lens Kit also. Kindly analyse your requirements & understand the details, before buying the Lens Kit.

Typical Combination 2 Lenses or 3 Lenses Kit: Most of the lenses come as a “Clip-On” accessory. That is - a hand clip which can be clipped to the mobile (See the photo) & the lenses can be interchangeably used.

1. 180 to 230 Degree Fisheye Lens: More the degrees, more the coverage or the fisheye effect; care should be taken to avoid distortion in a higher degree lens.
2. 0.36 to 0.67X Wide Angle Lens: Here too, 0.36X will provide much wider shot than 0.67X lens. (Your mobile provides 1X as the normal mode)
3. 10X to 20 X Macro Lens: 10X Macro will be cheaper than 20X.

[As requested by many LGs, I shall try to diagrammatically explain, what these lenses do, in another post.]

You will get the Lens kits from USD 2.00 onwards; I would not recommend such cheap ones; kindly select lenses through the user-reviews, even if it is slightly costlier.

Here are 3 almost self-explanatory Photos; this gives you an idea about ‘How to attach Macro Lens to a Mobile Camera’

Photo -1: In this shot, he is explaining how the Lens is attached to the Mobile camera, from the back

Photo -2: Lens attached to the Mobile camera, from the front.

Photo -3: Lens attached to the Mobile camera, at an angle.

Macro-Lens & Google Maps: You can capture “Eye-Catching” shots with excellent bokeh effect to emphasise a menu item or a product - this can be a speciality of a POI - a valuable contribution for Google Maps.

[Note: Object: “Clove” held with fingers & shot with iPhone with Macro Lens]

I thought we will push Adi up - because he is a good photographer…

but, I am disappointed - no much support from the public LGs.

I express my gratitude, once again - sincerely

A great post @TravellerG , very informative. I like the way the macro lens just clips on so I imagine it would be suitable for most cellphones. Other than for fun, what practical applications are there for this type of photography?

1. Yes, this sort of macro lens kit will suit almost all new generation cameras, including iPhones.

2. Wide Angle lenses are very much used in professional photography. (Ex: large group photographs)

3. Fish eye lenses are rarely used in day-to-day - but we definitely do keep the lenses.

4. And as you are aware micro photography is extensively used in science…

5. I am a fan of macro photography and I use macro lens a lot in my pro cameras also.

Hope this will help you …
