Not getting same IQ as Alby does but the attachments are slightly different may try yours. Also flash is so close to bottom of lens it just gets blocked. So need to make a tube with diffuser on top, ummmmm

 

[Maggie52]

They are brilliant Alby! I'm guessing the flash is in a different place to the one on the iphone? I find the macro lens covers the flash, perhaps I can try and adjust it somehow.

Edit. Just seen Bryn seems to have the same problem

 

[Deleted member 3428]

You can look at post #60 to see how I diffuse the phone flash.

Will do thanks

Clever Alby my flash is too near the lens on my iphone for this

 

[susiejb]

Super pics all ... but I must say Alby those three are really excellent.

We are away in Devon next week, staying near a fishing lake, so I shall be on the prowl with phone in hand

[Deleted member 3428]

Some excellent shots here folks, sorry I haven't been around here lately but been really busy and I will be back in a couple of weeks when life should settle down. will be taking my phone and adapters with me incase I see anything unusual worth photographing on my travels.

 

[susiejb]

Hope to see you back soon Bryn

A few recent ones

These two made me smile, they remind me of two little aliens

Hanging by a thread

Fascinating as spiders are I never did like them much, the more I see them close up, the more I know why.

 

[TIP-TOP]

Couple of recent ones from me, take with iphone 5s and edited in snapseed.

Have fun with it

 

[susiejb]

This flew into the conservatory today ....it was very tiny, only about 1mm wide if that ....but it looks as if it has a bit sting. I was surprised once I had the photo to see that it has blue and black stripes...not visible normally. Not the greatest of photo's but I was wondering what it is and do they sting.

 

[Deleted member 3428]

It is a wasp Susie, it uses the pointy bit to inject an egg into an unsuspecting critter victim. Once the egg hatches it eats it way out of the host. You are quite safe though. Check out Google for Ichnuemon wasps

Oh thanks Alby .... I set it free in the garden ..... It certainly doesn't sound too friendly though.

ichneumons are used commercially for pest control so you did right rather then stepping on it.

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Spotted this egg on my sage plant, no idea what it is but will keep an eye on it to see if I can catch what comes out.

Dont buy a ebay gadget if you have an old dvd player etc... going to tip soon so will try this hack. would mean I can also fashion a flash diffuser as currently its too close to lens.

No harm in a bit of recycling Bryn

I have a bit more time to myself now, so hopefully can get out with the camera.

A couple from the garden with my iphone. I really love this one ...

I think this is a type of bee ??

 

[Tintin124]

both are brilliant Susie but that flower is immense..

Not a bee, it's a hoverfly. Nice capture...

Thanks fro that...I wasn't really sure what it was....I do find with the phone it's very difficult to hold it steady up in the air so I was pleased with that one.
Thanks Bryn ...that flower has such lovely tones doesn't it ...it looks as if its illuminated !!
