Gadget Girl :)

Okay, I know I said no more purchases, and truth be told, I did actually buy 

this a couple of months ago. It was originally intended for the xmas parcel of my 

Big Girl (*shh* don't tell!) however... I have recently got excited about Instagram... 

yes, it gets us all in the end! ;) So, first thing: I have an Instagram account now... 

Find me here.

Second thing, the gadget... Have you seen one of these before? It's probably 

going to be wildly impractical and purely fad-ish but I'm having fun :)

HOLGA Special Lens + Filter Turret

You clip it on to the back of your phone and there's a nifty little wheel at the 

back which you turn to have the different filters in front of your camera eye.

There are dual, triple or quadruple image lens to choose from... umm, not sure 

when these would come in handy, but fun yes?

And there's a host of colour filters... a blue filter with a clear hole...

a red filter to reduce absorption of blue + green lights and a green filter to 

enhance greens in photographing plants etc...

a 60mm Macro Lens for close-ups (now, this will be handy!)...

and pure novelty value with this red filter that has a heart-shaped clear centre... 

I think the light levels may have affected this because it's not looking quite as 

distinct as I'd wish but so cute!

I imagine you can find these in loads of places, but I found mine here.

Let me know if you have an Instagram account in the comments :) 


UPDATE: I forgot to say...! Please feel free to share any tips you might
have about how it all works - I sooooo need them ;) Thanks!
