The Small Planets – A Lytro Photography Project
The Small Planets – A Lytro Photography Project
A small experiment of mine, using some old marbles, an iPhone 4 LED Light, and my Lytro camera.
As I was looking up at the sky the other day, I wondered why stars and planets sometimes look so bright in the night sky.
After doing a few days research and some clearing out in my bedroom, I realised that marbles would be a great alternative to create macro close up small planets.
I then found the darkest room in my house, closed the door and then created my tiny solar system of marbles. Set up my Lytro camera and tripod.

At first, I was not too sure how the use of a iPhone 4’s LED light would illuminate the marbles, but it turned out to be the best way to and the most effective way of using a small portable lighting source.
The Lytro camera just seemed to work perfectly with what I wanted to achieve, for Macro photography it maybe the ultimate camera to use. I hope you enjoy looking and interacting with the photos, and again as always your feedback is ALWAYS welcome!
