How to: Micro Photography With Your iPhone

IMG_5503

So, recently I’ve taken a little interest in buying gold and silver as both an investment and a business. I should have probably jumped on that train like three years ago, but that’s another topic entirely.

Anyhow, one of the things I purchased for that little endeavor is a Mini 45X Microscope w/ Illuminator so that I can see markings and such on the jewelry that I purchase. It was a whopping $3.XX so I figured why the hell not!

Well, another awesome thing that it’s good for is taking mirco-photography with your iPhone! As you might have seen in my photo of the quiche the other day…

5X5 Number Three – Vlog, Thrift, Gold, Birthday, Sew

It’s been a busy week for me, so I thought I’d throw together another 5X5 video from the last couple days.

Check it out, if you dare..

 

I like these little 5X5 videos. Almost all of these clips are from larger videos that I’ve been making for other places, but it allows me to give you just a little glimpse into what I’ve so affectionately dubbed James-Land.

Behold, My First “Score”

Just a couple days ago, I sent out a tweet that said:

And I was serious.. I’m getting into the “gold business”..

Not that it will be too much of a stretch for me, since I’m kind of known for “finding” good deals on everything from cars to cameras… and everything in between.

But I digress. The other day I was out looking for gold and stumbled across my first score.

Pig Tries to Eat My Camera!

As I was sitting at my desk about 3:03AM the other night, I happened to get a wild hair and decide to go through some old videos because my hard drive is almost full and I need to clear some space..

Well, surprisingly, there are some fun little clips in there.

Here’s one of them… It’s a pig at the renaissance festival trying to eat my camera. haha.

I always thought pigs were kinda funny.

Blogging From My Phone?

So I decided it was about time to integrate my mobile devices into my blog so that I might create more content.

If you remember from a few posts ago, I was going to try to post more content to my own sites rather than posting updates to Facebook and Twitter as much. Then syndicate that content across those networks in order to establish my blog a little more.

As it sits, I add quite a bit of user generated content to various social sites. What that really means is that I’m helping to build their sites, and not mine.

So, let’s call this a little experiment and see how it works out for me.

I don’t figure I’ll post regular updates from my phone too terribly often as it’s clunky compared to me sitting at a full sized keyboard. But, a good portion of what I post happen to be photos and videos, ironically, taken from my phone and posted from my phone… So, I’m just going to redirect the destinations of those little pieces of content to my blog rather than twitPic or Facebook.

I suppose we’ll see how that works for me. Haha.

Now… How do I add a picture to this thing…?
