Throwback to 2019: When I Got My Moment Lenses

in Photography Lovers22 hours ago

Ah, 2019. Back when I thought buying a couple of Moment lenses (Macro and Fisheye, thank you very much) was the gateway to becoming a photography god on the road. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. But, man, I had fun pretending!

Let’s start with the Macro. This lens turned my phone into a microscope. Suddenly, I’m out here photographing eyeballs like I’m running a sci-fi thriller promo. Seriously, check out those shots—lashes, veins, iris details that make it look like a planet from Interstellar. It’s insane how much beauty is in the little stuff when you zoom in. Also, who knew photographing an eyeball could feel like a full cardio workout? Getting that focus is no joke.

And then, the Fisheye. Oh, this baby was drama incarnate. Everything looked epic—train stations, architecture, even a bench at the bus stop looked like it was straight out of The Matrix. Antwerp Central Station? Absolute cinematic glory. I felt like Spielberg, minus the budget, talent, or crew.

Here’s the thing: these lenses sure as hell made me look at the world differently. Macro taught me to notice the details (and maybe wash my hands more), while Fisheye turned the ordinary into something larger-than-life.

So yeah, 2019 was the year I stopped scrolling and started seeing. If you haven’t slapped one of these lenses on your phone yet, what are you even doing? Life’s too short to take boring photos.

While I'm still trying to imagine putting lenses on a phone, these lenses that you put on yours certainly helped you take some fantastic shots! The in-built lense on my phone can take some quite incredible macro shots, no fisheye, though! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

!VSC - we've got to get their community bot working again too at some point!

With the special cases that Moment provides, you can screw the add-on lens in front of the built-in lens. Works pretty well in fact! But, admittedly, since the iPhone 11 I started using them less, and now with my current iPhone, I haven't used them a single time, since indeed, the built-in lenses work incredibly well.
