Travel Photo Hack - for Cheap!

Hey you guys!  

I'm so excited about the mail today, I received an Amazon package! Right, those are always a day-brightener for sure. This one is extra cool because it's an easy, phone-camera hack that I hope you find as cool as I do.  

So, I have been doing some research, looking at other travel blogs and tips, ideas and inspirations, and I noticed I was seeing quite a few articles about what to bring, and how to set up for the perfect travel photos, but they all featured professional, DSLR (digital-single-lens-reflex) cameras. 

But what if you can't afford the $600+ camera and equipment that many professional bloggers/photographers use?  I have good news, there are much cheaper solutions then getting all new gear! 

So, for the most part mobile phone cameras are pretty decent, and if you frame it up right you can get really nice photos that way. But if you are looking for a way to enhance your phone photos with out spending a BILLION dollars on equipment, I would suggest this awesome kit (or one similar.)

This kit was less than $35, it came with 4 lens attachments, the clip, the mini tripod, the lens cloth, a Bluetooth clicker, and the bag to carry it all. What's even better- it's not phone specific. You can use this on any phone you can clip it to, it's very versitile. The tripod has an expandable clip, so it also fits electrics of pretty much all sizes (if we're not counting the tablet size electronics.)  

The telephoto lens, fish eye lens, macro/wide angle lens all screw into the clip. Because the design this on can be used on both forward facing and the regular camera, which is nice for creative selfie shots, or videos.  

I have only only done some playing with it so far, but it seems to work in all situations, and really does achieve the desired look for the lens. I will try to post some side by side examples soon!  

Check out the kit and others like it on amazon, they have tons of different kits for different budgets. 

If you have a photo hack, or travel tip you'll like to share, send me an email- I would love to get your ideas!  

 

Until next time,
