365 Project {1/365}
I’ve started a 365 Project in hope that it will help me get back into the habit of taking pictures everyday. Today’s snap is of my son, hidden in shadow, on the way to school. He likes to hide in oversized hoodies when he feels anxious or upset.
DIY Macro for iPhone (Test)
It’s the middle of the night and I can’t sleep, so I tried my hand at making a homemade macro lens for my iPhone. I found an old disposable camera in my junk drawer and pried it open. After removing the outer casing and the battery (still mindful I could get a nasty shock from the electronics), I removed the small lens from the front of the camera. Then I used a few pieces of tape to secure it to my iPhone, making sure not to get any sticky tape on the lens.
I’m very happy with the results, though I didn’t take many shots of anything very interesting. I plan to explore this further, maybe see what I can find on my walk tomorrow.
For reference, pictured first is a small, perhaps 2 1/2 inch tall, figurine I keep on my bookcase. He is a Little Blue Poppet, created by artist Lisa Snellings. You can find some of her work for sale here on Etsy.
