OK, time to get back to the business of posting some photos. I got an offer too good to pass up on a 10.5 MM Nikon Fisheye lens. I had one many years ago in the 35MM days and it was a lot of fun and added a different look to what your eyes see. The curvature of the lens adds distortion so straight lines appear curved. However, software can straighten these lines, amazing! I had my best friend Chester pose for a few shots on the deck today. The first photo is untouched. Notice the curvature in the siding and deck boards? The second photo after distortion correction looks almost perfect. The other interesting thing that these superwide lenses do is stretch the depth of field. I was literally inches from Chester's face but background looks far away. Fun stuff!

Best,
Warren
