Yep, but it's quite old. The moustache is gone, and for the last month now the cigarette also. The hair is much, much longer, and Eddie, the 150lb. wolfhound is also still keeping wolves out of the backyard.

What kind of lens makes that sort of circular warp? A fish-eye? If so, what sort of mm was it?

I'm guessing the aperture was small-high?

The lens is a 182 degree fisheye adapter for my nikon 990. This was shot in 2000. I was just the button-pusher on the end of the camera, meaning I just put the settings to fisheye 1 in the menu.

exif says:

f7 @ 1/825sec.
8mm focal length
100 iso.

The camera has been laying in a box for so long I was kind of surprised it still works. This is an old shot, which I've been going through to see if it's a strange enough concept to work with.

I bought the contraption originally to do 360 ipix photos.

Today is day 35- to the minute. I've smoked for 40+ years. I met a guy last week that quit after 45 years, but had a heart attack to convince him. There's just so much I want to see and do yet.
