It's quiet... maybe a little too quiet?

I haven't had enough time to really get out there recently and take some snaps. I've got this Saturday off work though which means I'll get the chance to shoot out and take some. In the mean time I've been using the camera at work to take some interior shots of a few houses... I've put a few below for you to see.


Unfortunately I'm not dealing with palaces but these are nice, genuine places.

Here fishy fishy fishy...

I've always been a fan of Fish eye lenses but I resent the fact that they seem to cost a huge amount brand new and second hand. The next best thing? Buy an adapter. Last week I decided this was the best way for me to give it a go without renting (giving me a time frame to make a decision) or stumping up the cash for a lens which I may never use. So up stepped this bad boy - Opteka Fish Eye

It arrived this morning and I unwrapped it to start having a play. Originally trying to fit it to my nifty fifty showed problems as the adapter rings didn't fit. No major worry as I had my kit lens 18-55 in the car which the adapter ring fitted. After a few minutes laughing at how crazy this lens is I sprang on my colleague and took a quick pic.


I fricking LOVE this thing! Anyway do I think it's worth me buying a proper fish eye lens? Maybe not at this stage... but only time will tell....

So here I am.

Me, Myself, What I'm about.

 Yeah so I'm slowly but surely entering into the world of photography. I've had my Canon Dslr for the past few months and I'm acquiring more and more hardware to accompany it. If I'm honest.... I don't really know what I'm doing yet but practice makes perfect so I'll be updating this regularly with new shots and thoughts in general on photography. I may even throw in some random ramblings whilst I'm at it.... who knows.
