This is nothing fancy, just a friendly wink to Ron...
Btw I got a spherical fisheye at Christmas: Meike 6.5mm f/2. It is quite OK optically, or at least good enough for me, and a lot of fun to play with. It has not left my X-T1 since Dec 25th...
-
Sweet shot
-
Good match of lens to scene. I'm thinking of buying one of the $89.95 Meike 35/1.7 lenses for Fuji-X.
-
nice use of the fisheye!
-
Yeah, the fisheye is addictive especially for someone who got the knack of its use. The image suggests you should be careful. :D
-
Olivier, I am impressed, as Beatrix Potter would be I am sure! ;D
(BTW, which of the rabbits is Peter? ;D)
Nice use of your new fish eye, as others have noted.
-
Cool!

A stuffed shop of stuffed animals :)
-
Thanks!
It is quite refreshing to see the world as a sphere.
This lens is supposed to have a 190 degrees angle of view, and I can certainly see slightly behind me. It is hard not to have my fingers or my feet in the picture...
I need to learn composing with this new tool, it is quite a different game.
-
Olivier, circular fish-eyes are so much fun.
I have been thoroughly enjoynig mine for years... and I am certain that you will too :)
-
I know you have done marvels with yours, and I have been jealous for years...
The next shot was made inside the great mosque here in Singapore. I tried to play with lines.
-
Kudos on efficient use of the circular fisheye, Olivier :D
You do have a very slight tendency to tilt the camera/lens to the right, though. This is apparent in both examples. Should be easy to rotate the image a few degrees counter-clockwise in the post processing stage, though,
-
really really nice!!
-
Marvelous images, Olivier!
I also have tendency to tilt the frame to the right. But what is nice about the circular fisheye is that you don't need to worry about the inevitable but unwanted trimming when you rotate the image to correct it. :) (In my case, the level displayed on the screen solved the problem.)
-
Thank you.
Yes, I know, most of my images are tilted to the right... And by an average of 1.5 degrees, not a small value. This is something i have ended up accepting and correcting in post processing as I can't seem to get it right in camera. These two images were not corrected though.
I guess this explains why I like the movie "The Brain" so much...

Olivier, please forgive me if I am speaking out of turn in respect of your Fuji X-T1, but my Olympus OMD E-M1 cameras and most of my Nikon bodies have electronic "spirit level" functions buried in their menus.
It might pay you to trawl through the X-T1's menus and see if such options are provided by Fuji and select them - in my case when they are enabled they are displayed in the eye level view finder or the screen / or via Live View.
Having the functions enabled in my cameras has helped me to train myself out of this bad habit or tendency - in my case the camera goes down very slightly to the right side at the time of exposure and the horizontals are thus tilted slightly to the left in the resultant image.
End of confession father. ;D
-
Forgive me for I am a sinner. This feature exists in the X-T1 indeed and it is permanently on in mine. I just don't pay attention to it. This is one of the things that were driving me crazy when I was even younger. There was also my strong desire to have a nice and tidy desk at work instead of an amazing continuous mess. 20 years ago I announced to my colleagues that I had decided to become a "5 s" champion. We had a good laugh!
I have learnt that it is better to accept my limitations and focus on my strong points... so my images are tilted to the right, and I will correct some of them! Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I am sure this is very efficient for most.

This is the view from my balcony here in Singapore. We had a decent sunset tonight, probably the first of the year.
And I tried to remember Hugh's advice. I used the electronic level in my viewfinder and incredibly, it worked pretty well.
Thanks for reminding me!
-
Pleased to be of assistance.
Your image is quintessential Singapore - nice!
My daughter lived there for five years and I loved the place. Get ready for the tropical thunderstorm and lightning shows that Singapore puts on - I would say that your balcony will give you a great ringside seat.
-
Indeed, we have had an almost permanent show in the last 7 months!
-
Beautiful sunset. The line of reflections of the headlights on the street give a nice accent and avoid the straightforward vertical symmetry of the image.
-
you are having a lot of fun with the fisheye, thanks for sharing your images
