The iPhone Shutter Grip

The iPhone Shutter Grip, $40/£25 from PhotoJoJo, gives your iPhone an ergonomic grip and photo/video button to give you the feel and function of a SLR camera.

 

The grip connects to the phone's charging slot, hugging the sides for secure hold. It can even be adjusted to fit over protective cases. Since photos are taken with a button and not by tapping the screen - or volume button - there's less shake so low light images will be more stable and the grip allows for a more snug and secure holding position. 

A smart feature is that if you realize you should be capturing in video, pressing the black video record button will change modes. Stills of the video can also be captured by pressing the shutter button again, even while filming.

Seems like the perfect accessory to pair with the new 645 Pro app.

Holga iPhone Lens

We love this. The Holga iPhone Lens is a rotating lens attachment that gives your iPhone nine fun and colourful photo effects.

Available for $30 (around £19) + shipping from Photojojo, the Holga iPhone Lens replaces the need for all those vintage photo recreating apps and gives you the hardware to take old timey looking snaps straight from the standard camera function. Just fit the case over the back of your iPhone and rotate the disk to choose a lens.

It's like having 9 toy cameras all in one: lenses for dreamy vignettes, vibrant red and green color lenses, multi-image lenses for Spidey-vision (double, triple, and quadruple images), a macro lens for beautiful close-up detail and red, yellow, and blue filters with clear centers for framing your subjects!

Just spin the disk and position your lens of choice over your iPhone's camera. You can preview the effect on your screen, then fire away!

The nine lenses:

• Dual Image Lens - Makes 2 identical images in one frame
• Triple Image Lens - Makes 3 identical images in one frame
• Quadruple Image Lens - Makes - wait for it - 4 identical images in one frame
• Macro Lens - Get close-up on your subject for amazing detail!
• Red Filter with Clear Heart Shape Center - Red color filter with a clear, heart-shaped center
• Red Filter - For a rose-colored look
• Green Filter - Give your photos a green tinge
• Yellow Filter with Clear Center - A yellow color filter with a clear circle at the center.
• Blue Filter with Clear Center - A blue color filter with a clear circle at the center
• Holga Hole - A soft lo-fi vignette around your image

Macro photography with the iPhone 4S and a single drop of water

Insect fan and blogger Alex Wild has turned his iPhone 4S camera into a microscope by placing a single droplet of water - carefully! - onto the camera lens. The results are impressive and totally free so long as you don't over saturate your iPhone and trigger those water damage sensors.
