day 84 - please step away from the fish eye

Yesterday I said goodbye to my two old cameras and traded them in on my new camera - the Canon 7D. Instead of a kit lens, I actually bought a fish eye lens. I have always wanted a fish eye but they aren't cheap and usually around $1,000. I'm not paying that.

Then I found this photostream on Flickr. This photographer takes a lot of pictures with his fish eye lens so I decided to google it. It turns out there is a fish eye on the market for $350 Canadian. There are three or four brands that market the exact same fish eye and Henrys carries it. Pinch me because I'm dreaming.

Here are a couple of shots I took today:




I've gotta say it's pretty strange to be able to capture as far as the eye can see AND your shoes.
