Dave, your pics are all works of art. Beautiful.

A couple more from my recent SFO trip.

BART



Napa Torture Chamber. Too bad you really can't clearly see the Iron Maiden at the far end of this room.

Early morning at Long Bayou Bay in St Petersburg with the 10-17mm @10mm

I was at the Governor Hindmarsh hotel in Adealide to shooting local hip-hop act Funkoars last night, and while I was sitting down before the gig synchronising the times on my three cameras, this girl leaned over the security barrier and started to massage my shoulders! without moving, I lifted the K-01 up over my head, pointed it backwards and snapped.
The result is silly, but still fun, even in the virtually non-existent light. You can just see the top of my crew-cut head at the bottom of the frame.

Still learning how to use the Rokinon (Samyang) 8/3.5. From the Pike Street Public Market in Seattle.

Still working on nailing close focus. Tripod probably would have been helpful too.


Gotta Try It!




All with the K10D.

A few not-so-fishy shots with the KMZ MC Zenitar 16/2.8 Fisheye from the Othello Tunnels near Hope, BC, Canada.

All taken with the K10D. I am finding that the Zenitar is a very versatile lens for general landscape and architecture with its circular projection being a definite asset.

Some years ago I went with the Pentax Club of Great Britain to USA -- on 'Ruby Beach' one of the Lady members gave me a 'Fish-Eye' attachment she said she never uses - well, I have used it -- with a 28mm focal length lens it gives a circular image --

These are great - thanks for sharing.

To me these types of circular photos are "real fisheye" photos, if there's such a thing. Anything around 15mm or more, especially on a crop sensor, is hardly fisheye at all! My Takumar 24mm is known as an "extreme wide angle" but that's nonsense on crop.

Anyway, this is the closest I can get to a circular fisheye with a DA10-17mm...
