OOWA mobile lenses put the oomph and wah in your photographs – here’s why

Have you always wanted to up the ante in your photography game?

If so, there is little harm in seeing what OOWA – whose Kickstarter page was met with an overwhelming response – has to offer.

So is it YAY or NAY? You’ll find out.

Well, OOWA is the answer to all shutterbugs’s prayers.

Prepare to be blown away by the impeccable image quality from revolutionary free-form optics OOWA has to offer. This patent-pending technology is uniquely optimised for translating the image circle onto the phone’s rectangular sensor.

The results? Let pictures taken with both the 15mm Wide-angle Lens and 75mm Telephoto Lens (both included in the OOWA Pro Kit) do the talking.

15mm Wide-angle Lens

Wide-angled lens is perfect for landscape shots, especially when you’re overlooking an aerial view of the ground. Needless to say, these remarkable lens came in handy when I was at Ultra Singapore last weekend.

Shutterbugs will delight upon the wide-angled effect of such lens as it finally does justice to sweeping shots, in particular. While the normal lens of your iPhone is able to capture the moment, it lacks the capacity to capture a panoramic shot fully.

The clarity of the images taken with the OOWA lenses certainly elevates the aesthetic feel of the photograph. It not only gives your photos that oomph and also a renewed sense of confidence in your photography skills.

But of course, who are we kidding? The real reason why your photographs look like they got an upgrade comes down to these awe-inspiring OOWA lenses.

Now you can be sure you’ll literally go “Ooooh wah!” at these photographs taken with OOWA lenses.

75mm Telephoto Lens

What about times when the subject in your photograph is distant? The telephoto lens from OOWA will do just the trick.

On the other side of the spectrum, this specific type of lens is able to bring into focus the subject you want to capture.

See what we did there?

After using the 75mm telephoto lens from OOWA, the photograph (on the right) looks more focused with the subject appearing closer. The telephoto lens is perfect when you want to bring distant objects close or capture a shallow depth of field.

Remember how you can achieve the aesthetic “background blur” effect on iPhone 7 Plus? The 75mm telephoto lens will make a world of difference in your mobile photography.

What’s more, telephoto lens is able to enhance the aesthetic feel of a photograph by drawing greater attention to the key subject in it.
