The Opera House Portico - B&W

Decided to walk to the dentist today and look for opportunities to play with fish-eye again. Great fun. This is the Lyric Opera's front portico. Color version is in my main album - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2015-03-02
Wonderful, wonderful... these lenses are the bomb. Super shot. :)

Gives a very cool effect. It seems like you are enjoying your time with this lens!

Super cool effect!

The focus is pretty good getting those figures away down there! Neat POV - your fish eye might enable you to swim underwater?

Very cool, love it in B&W

See you are having fun with your fish eye , enjoy!

Looks good in B&W too!!

I prefer the mono version, no colours to distract from the graphics. You have convinced me that I will be buying a fisheye lens.
March 3rd, 2015  
I like both versions equally
March 3rd, 2015  
Cool
March 3rd, 2015  
I like the b&w version
March 3rd, 2015  
Great perspective for the fisheye!

Super shot, leading lines, depth, composition, light

After look at both versions, I do prefer the color, although both are fantastic. The color just adds that touch of warmth with the lighting. I would like to get a fish-eye lens. Looks like fun!

Great effect from the lens, beautiful image

Looks great in b&w too... I loved this affect so much that it pushed me over the edge... Fisheye lens ordered

@lesip Which one did you buy? Is your camera a DX or FX? I've been looking for one for an FX and haven't found it yet. I have a 14-24 so was looking for something at 8 - 10. This one has been so much fun to use!
March 3rd, 2015  
Really like this effect

I have a DX and a new FX camera. Here's what I got to start with. It says it works with both. Was pretty cheap but got good reviews. I'll let you know and I'm sure I'll post some shots when it arrives. Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 HD Aspherical Fisheye Lens

@lesip Thanks! That looks like a great option. From what I could tell, it works as an fx lens does. Is that your sense too? The one I'm borrowing I need to change my settings so that my fx (D610) uses the dx frame size. I'd really like to get one that takes advantage of full-frame. I'll be interested to see how you like yours and if the manual operation is any drawback. It doesn't seem like it should be. Congrats on the purchase!

Wonderful! Not sure which one I like the best because the effect is so different.
