Easy Macro photography for iPad
Posted: Sat May 05, 2012 10:38 am
I was just messing around this morning with my iPad camera and seeing how close I could get to an object before the picture lost focus.
Not very close, about 6 inches at best.
So the iPad really is pants for macro photography, hell it's not that good at photography at all. Most pictures come out with compression artifacts anyway, but I wont be beaten!
I have this magnifying glass that I use for looking at tiny objects, and it has an added bonus of having some LED lighting too, even better for macro's as it adds much needed light.
So I placed the magnifying glass over the iPad lens and retook the photo's:
this is as close as I could get before the image deteriorated.
So there you go, quick and easy hack for iPad macro photography.
The Magnifying glass cost around £5.00 from maplin electronics
