Iphone 4S photography.

[tyler1503]

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how to get good photos using an iphone 4S? Preferably without editing them
I can get reasonable ones, but they don't show off the colours of my corals like I wish they would.
Thanks

Check ebay for a macro lens. I took the pic in my av with an iphone 4s and macro lens

These are all iPhone 4s pics, I got a macro lens off ebay that came with a case to screw into so it doesn't move around, cost about $10. Have to touch up the photos a bit afterwards but not bad quality.

Very nice!
I've looked on eBay, but the only ones on the Aussie store at a responsible price I could find either used magnets to hold the lens in place, or double sided tape neither of which I trust too much. I'll have to look into international sellers perhaps. Or maybe amazon.
Thanks for the tips

I ment to say amazon**** but yeah don't use the ones that use magnets or sticky tape, garbage.

The one I have uses a magnet and I've never had trouble with it. It has a solid hold and doesn't move during pictures and it's easy to remove when I'm done. Cost me about $5 shipped from china off ebay. It also came with the wide angle lens, I don't use that one though.

The one I got is identical to the last picture on that link. I just got the macro and wide angle, no case or fish eye. Mine also came with a little adhesive backed metal ring with a cutout for the flash.

My main concern was it moving too much. Do you remember the seller you got yours from? Because yours doesn't move, ill have a look further into the magnetic ones
