Four iPhone Mini-Workshops by Charles & Melissa Needle


Workshop 2. 

“How to Capture Jaw-dropping Closeups Using Your iPhone”

Date of the Workshop:

Wednesday July 24 2024

Time of Talk:

19.30 to 21.00 BST

In this presentation, Charles and Melissa will discuss and demonstrate various ways you can capture stunning closeups of flowers and other subjects using nothing more than an iPhone. They will begin by demonstrating the close-up capabilities that are built into the native camera in the iPhone, then discuss various accessory lenses that allow you to focus even closer than the native camera. The session will end with a discussion of various macro shooting apps, such as Macro by Camera+ (LateNiteSoft S.L.) and Focos (Bending Spoons Apps ApS), in which you can create beautiful bokeh effects usually achievable only with professional large aperture cameras.
