Olloclip used to offer clip-on lenses for smartphones that worked as a means to enhance the camera on your device to deliver even more impressive results.
These clip-on lenses included everything from fisheye to wide-angle, macro lenses and more. All of which can be changed by flipping the Olloclip and swapping the lens on a whim.
Olloclip was incredibly popular for a while, thanks to the ability to make normally mundane scenes look stunning. That applied witha decent smartphoneand a bit of an eye for a shot, has resulted in brilliant nature snaps and mind-bending macros. Sadly, since smartphone camera tech has improved, the need for Olloclip has diminished.
Still, Olloclip enhanced images made for impressive viewing, so we’re still keen to show off just how awesome they were. Check out this gallery to see what people have managed to produce.
Impressive telephoto
Some of these photos are seriously impressive. Of course, smartphone cameras have come a long way and are fairly capable themselves, but the addition of an Olloclip lens means telephoto style images like this can be snapped. A fast-moving car, captured whizzing colourfully down a racetrack without much fuss at all.
Fine lines, tiny drops of water and amazing views of something as simple as a leaf, all made possible with Olloclip macro lenses.
Close-up creatures
If you’ve always wanted to snap close up images of creatures in your world, but thought you didn’t have the gear to do so, then Olloclip is the answer. Nifty little photos like this one of a small spider, brilliantly captured to even include all the tiny hairs on its legs.
Marvellous macros
With all the amazing macro photographs created using Olloclip lenses, you could be forgiven for thinking that’s all they’re for, but there are also wide-angle, ultra-wide and telephoto lenses. When you see images like this though, there’s no denying how amazing the macro lenses are and the images they can help capture.
Massive photos with a tiny lens
It’s not just fans of macro photography that love Olloclip. Photographers with big ideas love them too. Like this image fromthe Pima Air & Space Museumshowing a massive, hulking aircraft snapped on a smartphone.
A view of the waters
When there’s a really special view to snap, but your smartphone lens doesn’t quite give you the framing or ability to capture the whole thing then Olloclip might be the means to get it done. This brilliantly colourful view of waterways is perfect proof of this.
Little ladybirds
Even tiny ladybirds can be made to seem enormous with a macro lens and an eye for detail.Marlene Liebenbergcaptured this magnificent photo of a ladybird with an iPhone and an Olloclip.
Street photography
Olloclip is a versatile thing for sure. Whether fisheye photography, wide-angle snaps or ace macros, these lenses are great for all sorts. Even street photography is improved. A dash of bokeh, a nighttime glimmer and brilliant angles makes for a fantastic image.
Spidey spidey
We’re always impressed by how interesting spiders look when snapped this close up. This one almost looks kind of cute, unless you’re an arachnophobe of course.
We certainly loathe flies almost as much as we hate wasps.
Tarni Roebuckmight not agree with us though. She uses her Olloclip lenses to photograph all manner of insects and manages to do so while making it look like she’s an insect portrait photographer.
