Olloclip Tutorial – Macro Insect Photography
The Olloclip lens system consists of three lenses. A wide-angle, fish-eye and a macro lens. The macro lens magnifies your image roughly around ten times. It allows you to get close to focus on your subjects with your iPhone, usually within 12 to 15 mm of your subject. In this tutorial I talk through my experiences when using the macro lens on the Olloclip. We are still in the midst of winter in Australia but the unseasonably warm weather has brought out some creatures, one of which was this adorable caterpillar. Step 1 I use the app 6×6 for almost all of my macros. I find it the…

Olloclip Tutorial – Creating Fish-Eye Art With Mel Harrison
For this tutorial I used the fish eye lens of the Olloclip to take this photo of buildings in the city using the 6×6 app. I loved the lines and the way the fish eye curved the buildings.

I have titled this image ‘Shadows and memories’ Read this easy to follow tutorial and see if you too can create a similarly wonderful…
