If you have even semi-regular access to a computer, you've likely seen an influx of pseudo-art filtered images on Facebook, Flickr and the like. You know which ones I mean - the pictures of children or bicycles with high contrast and curious saturation levels that somehow remind us of our childhoods, but without the big hair, shoulder pads, and (hopefully) fewer jump suits. While filters are fun and have their uses, once the nostalgia wears off they're still reliant on the original image to actually be interesting. But with the proliferation of camera phones, more and more of those images are being created through a tiny stock lens with digital zoom and focus at best.
Enter: Photojojo's Fisheye, Macro, and Wide Angle Camera Phone Lenses! These powerful little lenses attach to any phone via detachable magnetic rings and can let you focus on your subject from only 10mm away, or get 180° in a single shot, making your images stand out - not the apps you use. Grab both lenses for only $40 at Photojojo's online store, plus the product pages are full of great little animations to keep the interaction designer in you happy & smiling (make sure to pull the lever!).
