Since I really like taking macro photos, I wanted to try it out on the 4th generation iPod touch. I thought of using a drop of water to replace the camera optics. It fulfills its purpose, as I could see in the following attempt. I wrapped the iPod in cling film because I found that water drops don't stick well to the metal back of the iTouch. It was much better with cling film and I didn't have to worry about it leaking into my camera lenses. Try yourself how to take a macro photo with the help of a drop of water and food film. The procedure is as follows:
- Wrap the device in food film.
- Let's launch the application. Camera.
- We switch to video and start recording.
- iPod/iPhone We place the display face down.
- We will use a dropper (or anything else) to apply a drop of water to the body iOS device.
- We slowly move the subject closer and further away from the camera lens. We repeat this several times.
- We stop scanning and unwrap the device from the food film.
All you have to do is select the desired frame from the video. For example, VirtualDub (File/Export/Image Sequence) can split the entire video into frames.
Interestingly.
It would be worth publishing the final macro photo that was created with this procedure.
Thanks for the great idea =)
I tried it right away - it's perfect
I tested it on the front camera of the iPhone 4 and I got really excellent macro photos that will keep you busy for a while.
When a good drop is made, the object can be photographed from a "distance", e.g. only 1,5 mm
Here is a small sample…
