Macro Photos With the iPhone. How it's Done

Click the image to open in full size.

Earlier this week some great looking macro photos take of various object circulated around the internet. The man responsible for these photos, Daniel Forsythe, has released instructions for all of you that are interested in doing the same thing.

This hardware modification isn't for the feint of heart. It involves taking apart your iPhone, removing the camera, scrapping out some glue that holds the camera lens in place, and then re-focusing the camera by rotating the lens.

While this does take a bit of delicacy and patience the results are quite good and extremely useful if you use your iPhone primarily for grabbing shots of bar codes or notes or anything else that you need some close-up detail.

Check out some more photos from estrain/Flicker below and check out eastrain design for full instructions.

Yea but the only problem is.. say you wanted to take quick snapshot of a buddy-It would come out like crap! Is there a way to get like maybe in the middle half macro/half normal..Although I used to have a treo that had switch to refocus the cam...Apple should do that in the next iPhone.

yeah, very impressive! the photos look great! however, it would leave the camera pretty useless for the typical day-to-day shots of your friends and stuff.

Would it have killed apple to put in a half decent camera with autofocus, maybe a flash, and *gasp* some zoom?!

eh, I guess that's asking for a lot when the damn thing won't even do video OTB.
