Fisheye

One of my birthday presents the other month was a faux fisheye lens. It's not a proper one, but tries to simulate one by appending a stumpy additional lens onto the end of a normal one. Anyway, not having ever tested a proper one, I've no idea how good a job it does, but the results seem pretty good to me, or at least pretty distinctive. Here's a shot I took today of Pushkin with maximum distortion ...


And here's a time-lapse with a bit less distortion ...


I've also noticed just how many smudges must be on the camera's sensor. Yikes.
