Only recently I developed a flavour for wide angles and your images are giving me sleeples nights!

Tons of excellent photos here. I'll have to upload some more tomorrow, I took some more with the DA10-17 this weekend.

Oh yes, I forgot - 80 or so minutes with little more than a new moon illuminating the tree...

The old Super Tak 17/4 on a Spotmatic
It works great on the ME Super but have not yet tried it on any Digital

Zenitar 16mm

first one is at F2.8

second is i think F4.0

ghelary · 08-05-2008, 12:31 PM

The 10-17 is one of my favorite lens, I feel it is fantastic for landscape, in particular when you have some dramatic sky (it bring the sky closer)

This is possibly the best collection of fisheye shot's I've ever seen. Wonderful stuff, everyone.

Troyz,
Here is a picture of my backyard. K100D, M50/2, Kenko 180/fisheye bought in Udorn, Thailand in 1970.

I'd welcome a discussion of fisheye lenses, techniques, images, and postprocessing. . . I'm a new fisheye lens user and I'm finding it quite a challenge!

To start things off, here's an image

an interesting list of fisheye lenses
- The Fish List -

and a plug for some postprocessing software
hugin - Panorama photo stitcher

I've never used hugin for stitching, but it seems to work quite well for de-fishing, projection, and perspective adjustment of single images

Agreed, Jay.
This has been a really enjoyable thread to see the world through fish's eyes...
