My beautiful wife decided that for my birthday she would surprise me with a fisheye lens. I have been thinking of a fisheye for some time, but seeing one at a recent wedding got me thinking again. The images it can produce are truly unique to any other lens out there. Just a simple tilt of the lens and the scenery can give you a great big smile. These are some of my first images taken with the lens. All of them were within 15 minutes since it was a last minute test. All photos were taken with the sunset at my back. You can see from the 4th image the large cloud bank that had developed just before the sun set blocking any chance at a great colorful evening.
This photo was taken of the exact same spot, just tilted the camera up a little bit to get a little more sky.
I decided to move down the road a little and split the difference.
The heavy cloud bank on the left was blocking out the sun so I turned 90 degrees to get some of the color from the fading sun.
To see more from the shoot, please check out my webpage by clicking on any of the photos above. You can also visit my landscape gallery at alderimages.com/landscape.
Thanks for viewing!
Nice! I've been wanting a fisheye for sometime. As a matter of fact, this was going to be my next lens. If the 11-24 gets released I'll have to wait. I really like the view and the clouds are awesome.
