Through Different Eyes - Macrophotography

As I was doing my Spring cleaning of the house (it is something that most Chinese does before Chinese New Year), I finally found my set of Clip-on Lenses that I thought I lost.

I went straight into using the Macro Lens and went around the house to take pictures using my phone. I explored around looking for small items.

5 cent coin. From here, you can even see the scratch marks on the coin itself.

Snapped a macro photo of a stalk of corn that we took out from the fridge. You can see the water particles on it.

Then I went out and snapped a few more of the potted plants outside the house.

I am still figuring out how to take those amazing photos that are super clear. However, it seems like there is always a grey shadow surrounding all the photos I take using the clip-on lens.

And here's a photo to show how small an item can be reflected in a picture by using the Macro Lens. I saw this pot of Bonsai and noticed a small tiny little purple flower among the roots and weed. I decided to take a picture of it to test it out.

Here's the pot

Notice the purple little flower at the base of the plant?

Here's how big we can magnify it using a Macro Lens

It's really amazing to get to see so many details of such little things.

It's just fun taking pictures like this. Definitely, I can't optimize these photos without editing and with added filters, and there are some limitations for clip-on lenses.

All I can say is, explore and have fun though!
