30 DAYS OF DEALS // DAY 22
To make our holidays brighter, we are back at Photojojo's store for their Holga iPhone Lens. This little gem offers a rotating disk equipped with 9 different lenses! Just fit the case that it comes on over the back of your phone, and you're set. It's like having 9 toy cameras all in one: lenses for dreamy
vignettes, vibrant red and green color lenses, multi-image lenses for
Spidey-vision (double, triple, and quadruple images), a macro lens for
beautiful close-up detail and red, yellow, and blue filters with clear
centers for framing your subjects! Just spin the disk, preview the effect on your screen, and then fire
away! A fantastic gift for only $30.
30 DAYS OF DEALS // DAY ELEVEN
Pack your bags and get ready for an analogue road trip with the Diana Travel Pack! This bundle has all the essentials you need—a fun film
Diana F+ camera, a
Prophecies edition Packrat Bag, a Lomo Notebook, and the aptly titled
“Road Trip” issue of Light Leaks Magazine.
If you're not familiar with lomography, it is a fairly recent type of photography founded in the early nineties in Austria by the
Lomographic Society. Using the LOMO LC-A, a cheap Russian toy camera, and other toy cameras (such as the Diana and Holga), photographers fell in love with the unique, high contrast photos and the aberrations caused by light leaks and the limitations of the simple lenses. Today, this is replicated by several iPhone apps such as Hipstamatic and attachable lenses (more on these in future posts!), but these can't touch the cool factor of old-school anticipation. In other words, users must send in film and wait to receive prints in the mail. The Fish Eye Baby shown here uses 110 film, and its seller offers guidance on how and where to get film developed. The closest local partner lab is in Austin, TX so you can take your new Fish Eye Baby on a road trip, and get the film developed when you get into town!
