$5 Macro Lens

I don't know if you've ever tried this, but hold up one of those giant magnifying lenses like your grandfather uses up to the front of your camera lens. It takes some getting used to but you can take some cool macro shots with that and then crop out the distorted edges.

Got any demo shots like this? How would you suggest holding both the camera and magnifying glass?

 

I have some demo shots i'll post when I get home. I usually hold the lens pretty close to the camera but you have to play with it depending on the focal range of your particular camera. Works with point n shoot and SLR cameras alike. I've found that it works best if you dont zoom too far in on your subject and let the magnification lens do the work-- you'll get a wider image in focus.
