16mm f/3.5 fish-eye in westbroek park, the hague
« on: May 21, 2018, 20:26:12 »
It has been a long time since I have used one of my favorite lenses the 16/3.5 fish-eye.
I had loads of fun today shooting various flowers which species I am ignorant of :)

Ditto!

Did you use flash?  The additional light looks effective.

Thank you, Elsid! The sky was special indeed.

Thank you, Bob! You might want to share your perspectives with the 16/3.5 :)

Yes, Akira, I used the pop up flash to fill in some light because i was shooting into the sun.
A dedicated ring flash would have been perfect, but i don't possess one unfortunately...
Thanks :)

Jakov, I would rather like this spotlight effect of a popup flash.

So do I. I take note for the future and wonder if you dig a hole in the floor to get the camera so low?  :)

  Visual feast and more reasons to get a copy of my own. Thanks for sharing!

Akira, you have just saved me money by not needing the ring flash :) Thanks!

Dear Paco, thank you so much for your lovely words.
Tee flowers were actually above my head, no need for hole digging :D
I still don't know what species it is :)
Needed to kneel for the 4th image though...
You will enjoy the 16/3.5. Mine had issues too, but Dr Lens came to the rescue, and Bjørn provided a chip for it.
So, thank you Erik and Bjørn for being a part of my life!

My genius John, thank you so much! Nr 3 won the mini contest :)

Jakov, you didn't save my money by making me want a fish!   :o :o :o

Jakov, brilliant (chromatically!). I like them all, probably the third, with the sun-star, best. 
Last year I discovered portraits with the 16mm f/3.5 and on-camera flash.  I really like the way the light rolls off around the edges of the frame.  Here is one of our cat.

Very soft and pastel-ish Jakov - I really like the dynamics of the framing :)
