Shot this on Friday with my iPhone, with student David’s hand lens held in front of it. Nice look at a resting moth:
Not bad, eh? Anyone else got any recent iPhone macro photography to share?

It’s not iPhone, but handlens photography still counts, right? The link is to a photo I took three days ago, up in the Buttle Lake area of Vancouver Island (BC). It’s a macro shot of an amygdule in basalt, with chlorite rim, epidote infilling, and two prismatic quartz crystals.
