Hi,

I am a landscape photographer from Northern Ireland. I have recently written a guide to using fisheye lenses (in particular the Pentax 10-17mm DA) for landscape photography. I you you find it interesting and inspiring.

I've fixed your link above; it should read http://www.andymcinroy.com/0904note.htm instead of http://www.andymcinroy.com0904note.htm/

Great guide! Article approved.

Thanks Adam, much obliged.

That is a nice guide to a nifty lens. Nice photographic examples, too.

And the "T-shape composition" cured my crossed-eyes! :-)

Inspiring and practical article about using this lens. It has made me think again about this type of lens and how I might have a use for one.

Great article and nice pictures. I am also interested about this lens and I hope I can get it with good deal.

As the author points out, this is a great lens for HDR landscapes. I get the most use out of the 13mm setting (20mm equivalent). It's a very useful outdoor lens (and if you wish you can fix those curved horizons in post)

Yes. It is a wonderful short guide to using an excellent but sometimes difficult lens.
