I shot thesein downtown Sequim with my Nikon D7000 and my new Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye. Thinking that it's going to be a fun lens to have.

I like it, I don't have a fisheye but they interest me. I do have a 10-24 Tamron zoom that I absolutely love.
At 10 I do get close to the effect you have but not as pronounced.

I have wanted a Fisheye for years and I am very happy with it. I sure don't need anymore lenses but am saving up for a Sigma 150-600mm.

My lens stash.

Nice collection of lenses, Whaler! It's no wonder your photos are so sharp! That fisheye lens definitely has it's place, as is "widely" known. :D

Hey, Whaler,

Do you live in Sequim? If you do, next time you get over to Port Angeles, take your camera and "play" some more with your Fisheye. A photo collection of the outdoor wall murals there (similar to your one photo in Sequim) would be really fun to see through your camera & new lens! Just a suggestion. ;) It's been over 17 years since I was last through those cities --- really enjoyed travelling along US 101/E-W.

Thanks for posting your cool pics! :)

Need photos. The last one in the first post is my favorite.

Wow, great collection of lenses. I can't say I'm a fan of the fish eye, but you have nice equipment.

We live about 2 miles west of Sequim. Those murals in Port Angeles are something to see, I really should get some pictures.

I agree with you about the Port Angeles murals...I wish I would have had a good camera all those years ago when I was there. But I still do have the memory of what the murals looked like, even tho 'tis dimming nowadays! ;) TIA if you do share some photos with us.

Gosh, you're west of Sequim. That means you're even closer to Port Angeles! :lol: You do have a lot of pretty country in your area, including the ocean so near. I think I'd be wearing out all those camera lenses living in the Pacific Northwest.
