Macro Shooting

After the trip down to the pier, everyone was suitably exhausted and cold and we all felt the day was coming to a natural end. However just before we left, one of the less vocal members of our group produced from her bag her childhood collection of gemstones and some phone camera adapting lenses.

The lenses were super simple and only had to be clipped over your phone camera to alter the image being produced. They were fascinating, and I only had the opportunity to play around with them for a few minutes in the natural light to produce the photos above. The results were fantastic and I feel like further exploration is definitely necessary.

I’ve already bought a set of the lenses as for only twelve pounds they are super cheap and almost definitely a necessity for future projects. I’ve asked Emily to bring the gemstones in again so that we can explore how different light sources work on them, the images are also perfect for my personal exploration looking at texture production for the surfaces of my planets.
