Hi
I took these with my iphone and a homemade macro lens.
The first 3 pics are straight from the phone, the last one is a crop of the third one.

That's impressive photography for an iphone! I'm curious about the homemade macro lens...are there instructions online for how to make it?

All you need to do is destroy an old cd or dvd drive, and in there you will find a small lens used for the laser.
It's about the exact size as iphone camera 'hole'.
I used some blu tack around the edge of the lens to hold it in position.
Then you just need to get your iphone into focus lock (hold your finger on the screen for a second), or it wont be able to focus properly up so close.

Post some pics if you try it

Is the fly trap teeth that pierce the fly?

Hahaha, saw this on CPUK a while ago.

Nah it's just the angle, sure looks like it though

AWESOME Photos! You can almost hear it yelling "Heeeelp meeeeee!"

Matt and Aza, you can actually buy a macro lens for the iPhone for $20. I have one and works great!
