Fun with macros

[cc33]

Had some fun with macros today, the macro lens for iphone is really cool! I also used photoshop app to get the look I wanted.

Good looks. Are you referring to a separate add-on lens?

[cc33]

Thx, yes it's called olloclip they sell it at best buy and the apple store

CC you are torturing me.....Awesome shots of an incredible time piece.  I am drooling

Great pics.. did you use a mini tripod as well?

[cc33]

Thanks guys, no tripod but that would probably help, I'll go get one .

I have a tripod ... it was a 4-legged dog until the bear got to him. 

 

Send me the watch and I'll photograph it for you!

Its amazing what you can do with the iphone camera..  I rented a 105mm Canon lens from Vistek couple months ago for a few macro shots using a DSLR and a tripod...  Your shots are just as good if not better...   

 

its all about the lighting too... You captured the warmth of the gilt dial/hands really well.  

 

Are those gen hands? Or CWP?

[cc33]

I haven't tried a real camera/macro setup yet but I can imagine it being cumbersome and hard to do in the windowsill unlike the iphone which is for the most part flat, it helps to really get into the shot. If I was using a light box then the iphone would be useless. It really is all about the lighting, the iPhones sensor is ok in good light and with the help of the macro lens and photoshop it creates some nice stuff.

They are relumed and aged cwp hands

This is the best I could do, unedited.  Held a 10x loupe up against the iphone and tried not to shake.    

 

Your Ollioclip goes to 21x I think and is crystal clear.

 

[cc33]

The olloclip is only 10x or so I believe but I can use the iPhones zoom to enhance it. Those shots are all at the normal non zoom and these are using the digital zoom.. I've tried using a loop but the optics aren't ideal for shooting.

[mjmj]

Beautiful shots. Such nice detail!

[dbane883]

Ok.  Now you're just showing off.

Cc can you take more of the watch? I'm still dying to see the whole thing in its glory. That dial is so incredible...

Amazing shots Jion! I love macro pics very much

I've posted a lot of my wrist shots in the daily wristies threads so that's probably why I never made a specific thread for them, here's a few of my favs Mendota

Wow! Nice watch. Where did you get that? I love vintage watches. The more seasoned the better

@cc33, just curious.. Is that a Phong case or Mingh?

[dbane883]

Here's a stronger effort:

[cc33]

Thanks Jion, I made it.

Dbane, it's a phong case, I like the more prominent bevels on his vs the Minh case but others prefer an older look to their case

Wow , great pics, what an amazing insert!!

[Nanuq]

You know what's really ironic?  

 

By the time we're old enough to comfortably own these beauties    our eyesight has degraded to where we can't SEE them anymore

Wowee wow wow! That is incredible. Those pics are beautiful.

I'm so envious. I really hope to be able to build something like this one day.
