Hi, everyone this is a diy that i done for taking macro shoot.

items needed :

10X magnifier i bought from Daiso. 2 dollar.

crystal case for hand phone ( in my case a N81 crystal case ). 5 dollar or free if you got it laying around.

UHU glue : 1 dollar or free if you got it laying around. ( i use UHU glue because it won't cause unwanted whitish stain onto the glued part )

Just stick the black side onto the outside of the crystal case. And its done There 2 photo one before and one after putting on the magnifier.

before

after

PS. this shoot is impossible if the item you taking is more than 1-2 cm away from the side of your tank.

thank guys for the comment. I guess i need to patent this project and earn patent rights. Haha, just joking. Actually daiso also sell 15 times magnify lense. Same pattern with the 10 times.

i have tried taking photo with the 15 times magnifier i bought from Daiso. it seems that the 15 time magnifing will cause the photo look like from the view of gold fish. Bigger but the photo will look distorted. So, if any of you wants to DIY this, use the 10 times magnify will be enough.
