A friend of mine lent me a few Nikkon lenses this weekend to play with. One of them was the fisheye - fun toy! A whole new perspective of some over photographed subjects!

Very cool Debra. The fisheye lens has limited application, but in the right setting, it makes for a very compelling image. Warm regards. Barry


P.S. I recognize Yorkville from past visits to Toronto. It's a beautiful city. My wife was born and raised in Toronto (over in Etobicoke, not far from the Old Mill).

Barry - thank you. I actually live in south Etobicoke not too far from the Old Mill....small world! Next time you and your wife come to visit we must meet for coffee.

Hi Debra,


I could immediately spot this one having this unique fisheye look even as a small thumbnail... It really gives a different perspective to ordinary subjects. I want to step into this picture Smile


I am returning mine too, had it borrowed for a week or so. I never thought I could use one but for certain applications it really seems essential and it is also extremely popular as a wide angle underwater lens, giving an app. 21mm equivalent view on a dx sized sensor. It's not on top of my shopping list right now though.


Regards,
Igor

Igor - thanks for visiting. The fisheye is fun but I also won't buy one. But I have enjoyed working with it this week as well. However, it is a very good piece of glass.

Regards
Debra
