If you don't mind, can you post an unedited version of the first? It seems a little too saturated, but i don't know if it came out that way straight out of the camera. Editing is part of the learning process after all!

I don't think the flash will be absolutely necessary, but it will of course make certain situations easier. That is assuming that you'll be outside during the day most of your time. VR will help otherwise. Good luck!

your last edit is great. I wouldnt change a thing about it. There's not terribly much more you can do anyway with that exposure. Keep it up! :]

You need to upload the image using an image host like imagehost.org for example. then use the "forum link" and copy and paste that here.

It looks great! Yes, teh focus is slightly off, but it's negligible. I think the background color is a little too close to the dog's colors, but that's just me. I like the bokeh and the vignetting is a nice touch in my opinion. The cat tail picture i'm not a fan of though. The colors are to...

I may have, it's been a while since i took the shot. I posted early shots for you guys for comparison's sake! Check the first post

Fish eye lens effect Photoshop ^ terrible Fisheye effect with Photoshop CS 3 ^much better but still seems strange? i'm not sure http://edwinsetiawan.wordpress.com/2008/06/21/115/ ^how about this one?

Any suggestions to make it look realistic? My distortions always look terrible :[

i LOVE the skateboard shot's composition. i think the location of the guy is perfect. The first picture is ok, though the off-center location of the couple horizontally is kinda throwing me off.

I want fisheye really badly! I plan on putting it on my canon 50mm f1.8 ebay
