Every now and then my running line has a bad hair day. It can be because I didn’t clean it the night before or maybe I didn’t stretch it real good. All I know is that this usually is part of the shooting head game and I usually manage to work it out.  I had one the other day that looked like a geometric nightmare, the more I played with it the worse it got. When this happens you have to chill, and go zen on the beast. Take a deep breath, methodically pull your loose loops through and try to unravel any line twists. Go nice and easy, never pull hard or it will compress into a ball of confusion. So this is what they mean when they say fisherman have patience, now i get it.

fisheye (no pun intended) pic by Al Q.

I got this magnetic fisheye lens from photojo online. i had to do a little modification on the metal “O” ring that you need to attach to the phone so your lens can magnetically connect. I used my hand dremel to cut the ring so the flash would not be covered. I have a iphone 3G not a 4G. The supplied rings come with an adhesive back. I removed it and just used clear silicone to attach the ring to my phone. That seemed to do the trick. The lens cost around $20 and is a great and inexpensive way to add a fisheye to your iphone. They had some others as well including a wide angle and a telephoto.
