P365 May31: 8mm fisheye

I've been pretty busy lately, so I've taken a few easy photos. I also thought it was about time I showed you some of my gear.

These photos are of my 8mm f4 Sigma fisheye lens. This is absolutely my favourite lens. It's the most fun lens to shoot with, and surprisingly versatile. With the 1.4x crop of the sensor on the 350D (ignore the technical stuff if you don't get it :) ), I can get a field of view 180 degrees across the width of the image.

The huge field of view creates some pretty funky effects, which are great for fun portraits and massive landscapes. The fisheye is also invaluable for taking full spherical panoramas.

Here's a couple of examples of my favourite fisheye photos.
