I used Project Brief 2 as an excuse to buy myself an Olloclip, a small attachment with four lenses you clip in front of your phone camera that gives you access to a wide angle lens, fisheye lens, and two macro lenses. I took some experimental photos with each lens to see what was possible.
The above was taken from my desk with the fisheye lens – I can’t imagine I’ll find much use for this particular lens but good to know it’s there!
With the 10x macro lens I can see my own fingerprint in detail. (Readers from the future, please don’t steal my identity.)
This is an orchid that sits in my lounge room – looks like it’s a little dirty with the 10x macro lens.
Yep – on closer inspection (15x macro lens) it definitely needs a clean.
One of the shots I’ve chosen for Project Brief 2 will be a close-up of a spinning record player. With the 15x macro lens attached you can actually see the sound waves etched into the vinyl. (And more dust – I really need to clean my house.)
