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!

Avengers

This week's Throwback doesn't go back all that far. It takes us to the days when Avengers was filming in Cleveland. My sister was fortunate to spot Joss Whedon downtown one day, and shortly thereafter, we decided to head to Cleveland to see what we could see. Most of the filming didn't start until evening, so we got there around 7 or 8pm. Everything was blocked off and there were so many people standing around trying to catch a glimpse of someone famous. Thankfully, most of those people weren't in it for the long haul. Graphics Girl and I ended up sitting there until everyone else had gone and all the drunkards came stumbling out of all the local bars. It was so much fun to see everything happening. We were watching the filming of everything happening outside of the opera house and biergarten. We were able to see a bit of Chris Evans (who was under heavy guard and had to wear a big cape until he was actually shooting), and LOTS of Tom Hiddleston and his body doub...

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...

Heroes in a Half Shell

A couple weeks ago, before stuff started showing up on the internet about the new Michael Bay movie, I decided to watch the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with my boys. So, here's the jist of the story. Four tiny turtles begin a huge transformation after coming in contact with a mysterious green ooze. A rat who was once the pet of a great ninja master "adopts" them and teaches them the way of the ninja. While the turtles are studying in the sewers, there is a crime wave blanketing the city above. Robberies are on the rise and TV reporter April O'Neil finds herself a one of the latest victims. Unexpectedly, the streetlamp goes out....and when it goes back on, she's sitting next to a tied up pile of her attackers! Leave it to a reporter to get to the bottom of the story! April finds that behind this crime ring is the Foot Clan, led by the evil Shredder and he's not happy that she's onto him and he sends his henchmen to take care of ...
