Macro + Needing a Shave = Lamest Photo Ever

Nerd has a macro lens for his iphone and also needs a shave. Of course he's going to take a picture. The nerd. (I'm the nerd, if you hadn't guessed)

I titled this photo:

Lamest photo ever. Second lamest post ever.

Macro Lens

The last two nights it was my wife watching The Bachelor.  Tonight it was the kids watching Disney Channel.  Once again I got all goofy with my camera phone.  I brought out the Photojojo macro lens that came in the mail on Monday (magically) and took some goofy goofiness.

The drink coaster sitting on my desk. The shadow, I believe, is the external lens itself. Didn’t think of that one, did you fat boy.

This is the second “2” in 2112 on the cover of the new super deluxe edition.

The Garageband icon on my Mac’s desktop. I’m about half a month away from using the crap out of that app during the RPM Challenge.

My left index finger. This is a little out of focus. I’m losing the knack, eh?

A second attempt at my eye. Again, I’ve lost the groove.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll do some before and after with the zoom or the fisheye or the wide angle. I can milk this purchase forever! MUAHAHA!

Nothing Going On

There is nothing going on at all.  Work during the day, spend the evenings with my love, go to sleep, wake up and do it all again.  I’m coughing a little more than normal over the last couple of days, but this time I can feel something getting loosened up.  Hopefully I’m a few coughs away from having a clear throat and a clear head and not being sick at all.  I would guess I’m about 85% healthy.  Last time I said that I relapsed, so I might just be a moron.  Who knows.

Over the weekend we finished watching The Lord of the Rings with the kids.  They were really into it, mostly.  Sheelob the spider weirded them both out, but that’s sort of her job.  I have been listening to the audiobook of the Lord of the Rings during my commutes.  Frodo and Sam are in Mordor >insert creepy music here<.

So on that note I will leave you with the one (wedding) ring!

The photojojo macro lens is kinda cool, but I haven’t really gotten anything terribly clear with it yet. I’ll keep trying.

I Am Such a Nerd

I’m such a nerd.  Like there was any doubt that a guy who blogs like 3-5 times a day would be anything other than an uber nerd.

A couple of months ago I turned to Twitter with a question.  I always turn to Twitter with nerd questions, and I never get any answers or advice or anything outside of occasionally being followed by spam porn accounts, but I digress.

I asked Twitter if anyone had any experience with using external camera lenses with their phones, specifically their iPhones.  I was curious about The Photojojo Phone Lens Series, and the Olloclip iPhone camera lens.  I was leaning toward Photojojo because it includes a zoom lens, where Olloclip does not.

As mentioned, the Twitterverse was totally silent in response to my questions so I had to decide for myself.

I just ordered the Photojojo set.

I told you I was an uber nerd!

 

 

Oh yeah, I also ordered the super deluxe blu-ray version of 2112.
