'What Have We Here?'

(Self Portrait #3) Take a fisheye lens, a washing machine, a two second timer, and a lack of ideas for what to take a photograph of, and you end up with something like this. It is actually not a 100% original idea as I saw someone do something similar a while ago, but I thought I would give is a try, and it turned out OK. Perhaps not as sharp as I would have liked, but all my sharper shots were not as good, so I had to make a choice.
Weird Fish! You look like the Thinker!

Great, unusual idea. Next time you should get inside the washing machine and have the camera outside. Oh and if this is one of your less sharp photographs I'm worried.

Oh a washing machine! Nicely done. I did something similar in a flat panel radio speaker my first month in 365, but it was really hard to get and not sharp like this at all!

I love this one, but I so don't understand your settings. F1.0? Seriously? How in the HECK did you get the focus right?

@cheryllw Thanks Cheryll. Nope, not really f/1 it is a manual lens with no chip, so cannot report the aperture to the camera, which defaults to f/1 for the exif data. I am not sure what aperture I used, but it would be stopped dound to around 5.6 which gives a very large DoF on such a short lens, so focus is almost arbitary.
