A couple of weeks before Christmas, I decided to make some homemade biscotti.
I’ve always loved the twice-baked cookie, so I thought I’d give it a whirl!
Let’s just say…. it didn’t work out so well!
They were dry, bland, and they completely crumbled when I tried to cut them
{thinking it’s best to stick with my favorite Trader Joe’s biscotti instead}!
I was snapping some photos of the baking process
{in hopes to share with our readers – – had they turned out to be delicious}
when my hand got hooked on the strap of my camera causing it to fall
straight onto my unforgiving tile floor…
shattering the lens {tears}!
Of course, it was my good camera… as luck would have it, right?!
So, I’ve been out of a camera for a few weeks now,
but I did get a small replacement from my Husby for Christmas this year
{to tie me over until I get my new lens}.
It has turned out to be my favorite accessory for my iphone…
so great, in fact, that I felt the need to share it with you all!
It’s called the
olloclip
It works on iphone 4, 4s and the iphone 5
{make sure to purchase the right one for your phone}.
Basically, it is a lens that fits effortlessly over your phone.
It has three lenses: the fisheye, the wide-angle, and the macro.
Have a peek at this short video to see how it all works:
While at a terrific park that Nicole had suggested to me {Dinosaur Park in Laguna Hills},
I was able to try out all three lenses.
Here are what the photos looked like using the fisheye:
{love their shadows over the bridge…}
{mr. amazing…. coming out of a tunnel}
{one of the only photos I captured of all four that day… that Seth (seen jumping) doesn’t like to be photographed!}
{can’t get enough of this little man…. can you tell??}
{an unsolicited sweet moment of three of them…. like I said, Seth is camera shy! he actually prefers to be behind the camera taking the pictures!}
Here are a few shots using the wide-angle lens {while using the hipstamatic app}:
Perhaps the coolest lens in my opinion… the macro {pretty amazing for capturing the details}:
{petals of a rose…}
{a single leaf…}
{my favorite… the inside of a rose}
***************************************************
I completely recommend the olloclip to anyone who has an iphone 4/5.
It has been really fun to you so far!
If you already have one, or happen to purchase one in the future…
we would love to hear what you think about it and even see your photos!
Happy Clicking!
