Which fisheye Peter?

[Peter Forsell]

Fons, it is a two-shot "panorama" with the Samyang 8mm. I think it was Bjorn who gave the tip of shooting one vertical and one horizontal image and then combining them. It seems to work remarkably well even handheld.

IR D5300 -- 17-35mm f/2.8

[Peter Forsell]

Test driving my new (used, new to me) TC-17E II with my favorite model. The TC seems okayish.

D3X D3S, 200/2VR2 + TC17 @ f/3.3 wide open

It´s a magnificent time with the weather and the Magnolia´s.

Here the purple one

Lovely John. The background bubbles remind me of champagne. The whole image is full of joy.

Looks like a photographic painting from the 19th century, Paco.      Very special effect.

Grey, much colder and rainy, but the Magnolia is unbuttoning slowly....

I like this blossom shot very much!!!

Magnolia stellata

Df -- 105mm f/1.8

[John Geerts]

Thanks Peter and Frank.

Very sharp and fresh portrait.  Is it not a bit busy bokeh for a 200/2 wide open, Peter?  Or is that the TC17-effect?
