Got a pretty good shot of this fella on the patio tonight with the macro lens attachment from Ztylus. Not sure what he is, but he was very patient with me.

My town hosts an annual 5k run every Memorial Day. I usually run it, but I haven’t been running consistently in at least a year. So this year I was a spectator. A spectator with an iPhone camera and a fish eye lens attachment, that is… -
For Macro Monday, I present my breakfast, covered in salt and pepper. -
In today’s edition of Wide Angle Wednesday, I present for you a piece of framed memorabilia from my wedding. Two pieces, actually.At the reception, we had a wedding cake as well as a groom’s cake. Both were made by a close friend of my wife’s family. The wedding cake was beautiful, and had the requesite layers a wedding cake should have.
The groom’s cake, however, was in the shape of a book. And to accentuate the book cake, the woman who made it hand painted the Irish Blessing and Celtic Knots on two pieces of rice paper and laid them on top, so that they were facing each other like a pair of pages. The cake was so stunning and surprising for the guests, one of my groomsmen kissed me on the cheek and said, “You’re a beautiful man.” I kid you not.
I took the rice paper and framed it in two separate frames years ago. Tonight I snapped this picture. The only way to get both in the picture was to bust out the wide angle lens attachment for my phone. And thus, Wide Angle Wednesday concludes.

Playing around with the Ztylus macro lens. This is a close up of a Zebra pen. I’m not sure it’s all that interesting, but what the heck. It’s a picture. I took it today. That counts, right? -
I love how this one turned out. This is simply a shot of some trees along a path where I work, with the sun partially obscured by one of them. What makes this one different is that I used my sunglasses as a filter. Literally, just holding up my sunglasses in front of the iPhone camera lens and “snap”. The result is a strangely lit, almost ghost-like quality to the trees. Completely unedited or post-processed. -
Here I am, finding more uses for the fisheye lens than I thought. Tonight was the annual Sweetheart Dance at my daughter’s school. Actually, it used to be called the Daddy Daughter Dance, but the school changed it up this year so that moms and sons could attend. This year, it was held in the gym (it had previously been held in the cafeteria) and to capture the full scope of the space, I used the Ztylus fisheye. -
I know I said I didn’t think I’d have a lot of use for a fish eye lens. Well, turns out, a fish eye lens makes selfie’s REALLY interesting. Here I am embracing my inner lumberjack.Okay, I’m done. The snow can go away now.
