Inspired by /u/BeachBumWithACamera/ ‘s shot at https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/s/BCqHGN8VBJ I wanted to see how much detail you could get in a comparable shot with the 22x screw-on lens. The vantage point is the “intersection” of Elliot and Blanchard (which does not actually go all the way to Elliot). The first shot is the cropped version. Second shot is an uncropped one – which means you can see the distortion and blur around the edges (fine if you like the surreal “miniature” effect). Third shot is just with the regular phone camera with just pinch-zoom. In mine you can see the knobs on the hub of the Great Wheel, but in the professional-grade shot you can see the notches on the knobs 😯 So depends on how much detail you want for how much cost. The screw-on lens was part of a kit from Andoer that cost $60 and included other lenses; there are cheaper ones online that I haven’t tried. Highly recommend getting a screw-on lens, not a clip-on (the “clips” slide all over the place and ruin your shot), and for the screw-on lens you need a phone case with threaded holes (about another $15). submitted by /u/bennetthaselton |
