I just took a chance and bought an Opteka 0.35 Fisheye Lens.
I just took a chance and bought an Opteka 0.35 Fisheye Lens.
It fits on my 18mm - 55mm lens perfectly and for the full fisheye effect the 18mm focal length should be used.
This fisheye (adapter) only cost $30 so you can imagine that I would be quite skeptical about it.
But the reviews were quite good so I ordered it through Amazon.com and am giving it a try.
I don't know much about fisheye photography so I am REALLY experimenting.
Unfortunately, Opteka doesn't include ANY kind of instructions on how to use this lens, either.
Maybe that's why it's only $30.
I think I got a couple of decent photos...
These photos were taken at our local reservoir "Puddingstone," or Frank Bonneli Park.
I'm not even sure I like fisheye photography, but, it might be fun to play with it for awhile.
I don't think it is supposed to be used vertically...but, I did.
Do you see the egg in the bottom of the tree?
I didn't even know it was there until I looked at this photo on my computer!
How's that for being observant?
Could it be a duck or goose egg?
Or might it be something left over from an Easter egg hunt?
I haven't a clue!
But I do know that I enjoyed being out at the lake this evening under a clear blue sky and lovely sunset playing with my new toy!
