Fangirl Favorite-For the Cons

So far, I only have two conventions under my belt and both times I've carried around my camera as well as my phone. Not only do I carry the camera, but I have a couple different lenses in the bag. I have a telephoto that works great when I catch a glimpse of a celeb or cosplayer across the show floor. That lens doesn't work so well when I'm taking Cosplay photos of Songbird and her fans.

But my iPhone takes such great pictures, too! And I can email them or add them to Facebook on the fly. Sometimes though, I just wish I didn't have to carry so much. Or stop and switch lenses cause I wanna shoot something up close. Maybe the solution could be a telephoto for my phone???

Photojojo (sign up for their newsletter for photo tips, news and projects in the photo world) has a store for all kinds of camera and phone accessories. Direct to store link is here, but for direct product links, you can click on the photos below.

This solution is a 4 lens package that mounts to your iPhone or Android phone magnetically! There's my telephoto! Not sure it's gonna zoom in like my DSLR, but if I decide I don't want to carry so much this will be awesome! All four are 49 dollars or if I just want the telephoto that's only 20 and, right now, they are able to ship in 24 hours.

Here's another option! The iPhone telephoto lens.

You get a case that the lens screws on to, the lens itself, and a tripod. Photojojo says it's like a Sigma 500mm for your phone! I don't know about you, but I could fit that lens in my purse or backpack along with all the swag I'm buying at a convention. Right? And this is a steal at $35!

The last thing I might need is something to put all my lenses and stuff in. I still think that this will all fit into one bag, but to keep those babies safe??? A lens wallet.

The wallet is only gonna cost you $15! But it looks like they're pretty popular cause they're out of stock till the end of October. :( You'll have plenty of time till next convention season!

Happy snapping Geeks!

Thundercats, HOOOOOOO!

I miss Thundercats. That was a quality Saturday morning cartoon. It ran from 1985-1989. Yes, that hit me at ages 1-5, but I enjoyed watching it then and reruns later on. My brother had some pretty sweet Lion-o and Snarf figurines. The occupants of Thundera evacuate before the planet and all but one of the escape ships were destroyed. The Thundercats were all that remained and they set a course for Third Earth where they crash. With the help of his "Sword of Omens", Lion-o gives the Thundercats a chance against Mumm-Ra and the evil mutants. This cartoon was so freaking cool that it has been referenced in all sorts of pop culture avenues. The Band Reliant K has a song called I'm Lion-o , which is such a fun song to jam to. If you were a fan of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Emails, Thundercats is referenced in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8 Bit Is Enough . The series was rebooted in 2011 and was a combination of anime and western ani...

It's Throwback Thursday Time!

This week for Throwback Thursday, I'm taking you to camp...Space Camp. I grew up watching this movie and I love rewatching it every once in a while just to reminisce. Since I only ever went to church camp, it's kind of fun to see a bunch of nerdy kids getting to go to camp together. The movie never really got great reviews. In fact, they usually stayed around the area of about 40-50% approval. I think part of that had to do with the Challenger space shuttle catastrophe of 1986. Unfortunately, the tragedy didn't end as well as the movie. The release date was pushed back several months due to that, but even when released, the public didn't respond well to the reminder of the events. All things considered, I think it's still a great geek movie. Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Joaquin Phoenix (then known as Leaf) Kate Capshaw, Tom Skerrit, Tate Donovan and Larry B. Scott are the lead characters in this movie. Andie, a NASA astronaut who has never actually been in spac...

Wouldn't You Think I'm The Girl, The Girl Who Has Everything

I was fortunate enough to grow up during the "Disney Renaissance". During this period we saw films like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. BUT my very favorite of all the movies that came out during this time was The Little Mermaid. I received the movie for my sixth birthday and that was one of my favorite presents. Some of my fondest memories include reenacting scenes from the movie with my friends. I still know every word to every song, and on occasion, like to see if I can get my hair to look like this in the bathtub. ---> Don't judge me. She had fabulous hair. Seriously...what what woman has not wanted that sexy, red hair? LOVE. Today, you can find The Little Mermaid Diamond Edition at your local store. I'm not sure why they chose to release it now instead of next year, which would have marked the 25th anniversary, but you won't catch me complaining. I'm more than happy to have this available on Blu-Ray. I hear that the digital enhanc...
