"I was on my knees hovering over a water puddle when the sun lit. Some rays found their way in from the side and all these tiny, little bubbles became visible."

"I've been interested in insect macro photography for a few years now. I've been using a Nikon DSLR with tubes and flash mounted to a bracket to get the best results. The only problem with it is the size and bulk of the kit, it's hardly pocket sized gear. Then I discovered the iphone. Although the iPhone macros aren't technically as good as a DSLR's, you learn to no longer be a pixel peeper and look at the whole picture.

When I got the new iPhone 5 and saw the excellent shots it took I invested in an Olloclip. It was the best money I've spent. Both the phone and Olloclip are always in my pocket so I rarely miss any shots now, even whilst I'm at work! I'm addicted, I've almost completely ditched my camera gear for a phone!

I get strange looks though when I'm crawling along the floor holding my phone and chasing a fly or beetle! This shot was taken with me on my knees up against a wall, the hoverflies had no intention of stopping even as the Olloclip was drawing nearer and nearer.

I can't wait to see how camera phone macros will grow over the next few years."

"The Eye - The eternal Fascination. At school I learned that the Eye is a sensory organ, a product of evolution. During my studies we called it the window to the brain, and in my working life, a mirror of the soul. But no, the Eye is much more; it is a masterpiece of God, his idea. For a long time I've tried to capture various emotional states and only photographed my eyes. I avoided photographing other peoples' eyes, I think, it would be somehow too intimate. This work with macro lens was a lengthy affair, but thanks Oggl even a good Hipstamatic photo can be improved a bit more."

"This is my daughter's eye. As close as I can get. I have always been fascinated by the beauty and perfection of an eye. I think it must be wonderful to swim through the moving algae of the iris and dive deep into the dark hole of the pupil till I reach the most secret emotions of the person."
