iPhone photos "Through The Loupe" - check this out!

So I got this idea of trying to take a photo with my iPhone through a pocket loupe I have. Well, the image turned out kind of interesting, so I´m going to try to take some more photos the same way and post them here.

It will be a kind of photo project using just the iPhone 5s and a 10x pocket loupe. Not very high technical quality of the images but that´s the charm of it. 

This is the loupe I use:

And here is the picture that got me started:

More pics coming!

iPhone 4s camera

I am surprised how good the back camera is on the iPhone 4s. When you have enough light available you can take some really good pictures. This was snapped while out walking:

Thistle - iPhone 4s, some cropping.

Now, it wasn´t exactly windstill, the thistle something like three inches away from the iPhone. Shooting a moving target is what it is, I´m still surprised how sharp the image is. I had to crop a little to balance the image.

If I took the same picture with my Nikon D200 and some macro lens there would be very shallow depth of field, and that rig wouldn´t fit in my pocket. And I could not hold the dog in one hand either while taking pictures.  In this case, iPhone wins!
