Going fisheye

[JoL]

I haven't posted anything in a long time with a busy year coming to its end. Actively trying to get back into photography I want to share a few photos I took with my Samyang 7.5mm fisheye lens that I learned to love. Hope you like them.

Terrific use of this lens! The chain in the first one is a lot of fun. Nice job.

Awesome shots.
It's hard to make interesting photos of a tree and you've done just that.

nice pics for sure.
in another thread, i highly recommended the rokinon/samyang. these folks are coming on strong and for bargain prices! Fisheye lenses recommendation

I agree. For the price they are a lot of fun to use. And especially for a super wide angle lens the lack of autofocus is not really a drawback. And I absolutely love a mechanical aperture ring.

their apertures are controlled in camera which also confirm focus.

The one you linked in the other thread shows up as completely manual though,or am I mistaken? I was under the assumption that Samyang/Rokinon only make manual lenses.

Nice set! I haven't made it out to Fan Pier yet but I understand that it's one of Boston most popular spots to photograph

the only thing manual is the focus; but you get confirmation in the camera's viewfinder.
also, the camera sets the aperture.
really nice lens.
how often do you need to focus when the depth of field @ f8 is from 1.5 ft to infinity?
and when you do focus closer, the bokeh is quite nice! sorry, don't have an example.
