Full Version: I bought my fisheye, now what???
I added the Nikon 10.5 fish eye to my bag toninght. I thought it would be a fun new toy. So, do you have any suggestions? I plan on playing with it a little at my wedding tomorrow. Do you typically shoot wide open with a fish eye, or stop down a little? Is it better to be close to the subject, or far? Any other good tips for me to keep in mind when I play tomorrow? Here are my tests at the camera store!
Ok, now I wanted to play at home too... here is my dog!
I love my fisheye. It is a ton of fun to have. I took wacky portraits when I first got it:
selfportrait
But it is cool in "serious" situations as well:
Or when you are getting your hair cut:
I find fun situations for it all the time.

It's great for capturing toast shots from below...you get kind of a neat effect from my experience. I set it on a timer and run so that I'm not in the picture. I typically shoot wide open. You'd be surprised at the sharpness you get (and the greater DOF than other lenses I suppose), the saturation...I love this lens!
god i want a fisheye lense.

Thanks, Yea, it was hard not to get in the picture! My legs and camera strap kept sneaking in. Do you have any samples of that toast image?
