You mean less than it should. The fish demands constant use!I'm loving all these fisheye shots! Nice work, everyone. The fish is still a novelty for me and has stayed on my camera more than it should have the past couple of trips.
A couple of the shots look a little familiar.
I'm just teasing, don't worry about it. Those are relatively old shots so you may not have been them unless you were going through some of my early TRs. I couldn't care less if anyone copies any of my shots. Plenty of my shots have been influenced by or even copied directly from others... 0bli0, YEKCIM, etc. Now we have a ton of very talented photographers around here - one can't help but be influenced by your stuff, Gdad's, SrisonS's, etc.Wow, they do, don't they? I promise I didn't rip those off of you and would have given you props had yours been the direct influence of mine. However, I readily admit to being heavily, heavily influenced by your photography in general, especially your fisheye shots. BTW, I like the composition of your TTA fisheye shot MUCH better than mine.
These are great! Any tips for shooting with a fisheye? Focal points you try to look for?
It just proves how very difficult it is to come up with a shot that hasn't been done before, by someone, even using a specialty lens like a fisheye. I'm sure I've got plenty that I thought were new and others have done before... and like you, I've had ideas for specific shots that others have beat me to. (Darn you Florida residents and your unfair advantage! )Wow...a couple of my shots that I'll be posting look somewhat similar to yours as well, Groucho. I also swear I hadn't seen them prior to our trip.
Conversely, I had seen some of Todd's shots prior to our trip, and a few of mine were directly inspired by them. My absolute favorite shot from the trip was not inspired by Todd, although it's certainly going to look like it was...damn him for beating me to the punch!
Thanks! Have fun, DLR is quite photogenic!^Awesome work. Really getting me inspired for our first DLR trip in Aug.
