Canon SA has a roadshow twice a year, introducing new products and have 2 - 3 guest speakers (togs) showing their work and its meant to be inspirational to others. And often it is quite inspiring - especially if you see a 26 year old that is making such a success of his photography career.
anyhoo - this was at the roadshow - ISO 6400 for the hell of it. I kind of liked the comp

Welcome to the wacky world of fisheyes, Elsa :D
-
Elsa, has a 16mm fish-eye.
Now I can hardly wait to see the animal close-ups :)
-
Congratulations on the new lens! Nice angle to show the scene.
Now - As always; Get closer ;)
-
Love the composition and color!
-
Thanks guys.
I have Bob Friedman to thank for this awesome piece of glass!!!!!!!!
Jakov - its a bit different to my 10.5 I had before - in that close focus distance is 25cm and not as close as the 10.5 So the animals will have to be the bigger variety and not my dog :)
Imagine an elephant... or a lion...
Erik - yes. The lion. I am sure whahaha
Akira - thank you - I loved the red - otherwise I would have done a B&W - especially at ISO 6400!
I have decided flash is NOT for me - and trying to put my fear of high ISO in the past. So far - so good.

Nice scene Elsa, what lens did you get ?

exactly ... and if possible exposing to the right works wonders, if not then careful processing gets awesome images
With the d800 and my 24-85VR I have not needed to go beyond 6400 ...
I'm sure with the fisheye and good holding technique I wouldn't even need to go that far

Armando - I got a 16mm f2.8 from Bob. He generously sent it to me together with a manual focus 105 macro

And don't forget the words of Robert Capa: “If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough. ” ;)

Said Capa ended his life and photographic career that way, stepping on a land mine as far as I recall. A close enough encounter if there ever was one.

......Capa had stepped on a landmine. When they arrived on the scene, he was alive but his left leg had been blown to pieces, and he had a serious wound in his chest. Mecklin called for a medic and Capa was taken to a small field hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Damn Bjørn you are good...!!
