Things Are Looking Up (4th Place)

I got a new toy...

Fisheye lens. I love the distortion of this lens on my 40D. I'm going to have some creative fun with this lens in the months to come. The problem with this challenge (I know, it's my challenge) is that it really doesn't work well with landscape fisheye type photos. But this one looked pretty neat.

Canon EOS 40D ,Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye

Nice pattern of leaves and branches! That fisheye did a great job and certainly works well with the round format! ~Sharon

Thank you! I am going to have fun with this new lens I think. It seems to have some cool qualities to it for artistic types of shots. It'll be fun playing around with this lens in the future. BTW, it's a Rokinon 8mm Lens not the Sigma.

It works quite well with this view, though. Nice.
