Creative Project Uses Old DVD Focus Lens to Improve Photos
Andrew Robichaud — August 25, 2009 — Art & Design
A brilliant DIY project from Flickr user conflikt has brought us a pretty awesome collaboration of technology in order to enhance the photography on a camera phone.
First off, a camera phone doesn’t have a macro lens and the photos are FAR from a polished product (camera phones are better these days, but not all of them). This project takes a DVD focusing lens and fits it perfectly over the phones camera in order to get that perfect picture.
Take a look at the photos that have been produced by this little experiment above. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
