Upgrade Your Smart Phone
Over the course of a week, Relaxnews is focusing on photography,
with a pick of cameras, tools and gadgets to get the best out of summer snaps.
While smartphone cameras already offer extraordinary picture
quality, a simple add-on can help take things to the next
level.
This can turn a cell phone into a real rival for
"genuine" cameras, capable of taking specific shots such as
wide-angles or macro photos. All this is possible thanks to a French startup
called Pixter and its intriguing clip-on lenses.
Pixter's
range of lenses can turn any
smartphone into a spectacular camera. Each
lens has a specific function, with models including the Fisheye, to recreate
the famous distorted effect over a 180° angle of view, the Polarizer, to improve colour rendition
by reducing reflections and the reverberation of light on different elements in
the photo, and the Ultra Macro, offering 6x magnification for capturing close-up detail.
