You say not a masterpiece but not everone pulls off images like this….I reckon it is stunning…......glad it was not too hot to use the ‘ole fish eye’......
JudyBJ in reply to Maxhamish’s comment, 4 months ago
It was hot enough for me not to go to my friend to pick it up,so by the time i finaly did,it was evening and dark outside ,so out came the flash that i hate (luck for the great diffuser),and that’s the result. At least i know now that the lens is very sharp,so i’m pleased

I think it’s a fantastic image! I looked at it longer than I often do other photographs, theres so much happening in it – really happy. The cat’s face is the obvious thing to comment on but I actually really keep getting drawn back to the owner in his funky hat! Love it.

Thank you Carmen-i’ll make sure to tell that crazy guy -he’ll be delighted

This shot on its own justifies the acquisition of your fish-eye lens! Jaw-droppingly good. Puss thinks, how could you do this to me, I’ll come and haunt your dreams- but we really now he is a very handsome fellow.
JudyBJ in reply to david malcolmson’s comment, 4 months ago
That puss is a female and a halfgrown kitty.The guy tought her to walk on a leash and they go walking togather with a big black dog ,he also ownes -they so funny. This coment of yours made ma laugh and made my day :)

I bet puss keeps the dog in its place.

What a great shot judy! The big wide eyes of the cat in the center of the wrap-around works so well…judging by her expression maybe she saw the ‘fish’ in your fish-eye! ;)

That’s brilliant!! what fish eye did you use? I’m looking to get one…

Using the F-E in this way to caricature your subjects is fun and is producing some interesting images.
JudyBJ in reply to Matt Halls’s comment, 4 months ago
Thanks Matt -i can tell you that she didnt much enjoy this shot and i was worried a bit,because she kept pushing her little nose toward the camera -i dont think my lens would have enjoyed that :)

Canon Fisheye EF 15mm f/2.8
I didnt think i should spend more on a trick lens and i’m very happy with it.It’s also great for low light
JudyBJ in reply to Peter Davidson’s comment, 4 months ago
Well,that’s the classic use,but FE has much more potential . Your mind needs to get used to thinking fisheye
Cvail73, 4 months ago
Interesting, I have not decided how much fish eye effect I want yet so that helps.
Yeah fish eye is exciting. It’s a bit to me like IMAX films, the .3D effect is expected in landscape, but really, intimity and small spaced are even better suited, That’s how I think of fish eye, brilliant for experimentation :))
