Using a Wide Angle Lens for Portraits
Updated on Apr 13, 2021
We wanted to see what it would take to capture compositionally correct portraits on our Wide Angles Lens, here are some easy tips outlines in this essay.
Yep, itās a phone case. Albeit a beautiful, black-speckled, French-designed, battery case...it does protect your phone from unintended drops. Whether youāre adventurous or just clumsy, we made sure the battery case could withstand a beating. Plus, we put ribs on the top and created the case out of hard plastic so your phone can take a beating without popping out or losing its top half (like some of those other battery cases). Itāll be the most durable ribbed, rubber product you've ever bought.
The top of the case has a hinge sort of thing. Bend it back, slide your phone into place, and youāre ready to go. Itās a proprietary design that makes entry and exit fast but still rigid enough to support a New Moment Lens on the top of your case. When using Phone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, sliding in and out works but is stiffer as these devices are slightly thicker in size.
Its rubber TPU body, curved sides, and thumb-reachable shutter button were all designed for perfect one-handed capture.
For that special moment when you want to rock our Moment Lenses, we made it easy and secure to attach our glass. Built right into the case, the Case includes our new lens interface, so you can rotate and gently click our lenses into place. Nothing looks better on a case than a big, beautiful lens. Unless, of course, you have cat photos on the back; thatās pretty awesome too.
Once you add a strap, you don't go back. It's the best way to protect your phone while keeping it within reach for those spontaneous shots.
(not for headphones or car play)
This is a minor, but important, detail. The Moment Case is the only case on the market that uses the same lightning connector as your iPhone to recharge. This means you can charge your phone into the wall using your standard Apple cables or a third party, MFI power cable.
Unfortunately all third party cases are limited to a connector that just allows you to send power to the phone. That means plugging into your computer doesn't charge the case, audio headphones don't work, and car play won't pass any data from your phone to your car. This is still better than carrying an extra USB cable around, but not as perfect as we'd like it to be. We wish we had some control in this.
Momentās new lenses for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus take smartphone photography to a whole new level.
The quality of photography made possible with an iPhone has significantly grown in quality over the past few years. But thereās always room for improvement. Enter Momentās latest system of high quality photographic lenses. After a month of using them on trips to China, Japan, and while driving across western Canada I can say, with few reservations, that theyāre one of the best investments a smartphone shutterbug can make.
