sigma 10mm 2.8 fisheye / joplin

So I am sitting in Joplin (MO) in a dreary Drury hotel room bored out of my mind. The “free wifi” is so saturated that web browsing is dialup painful and so little is on TV that I am watching “The Hills” on MTV – shoot me now please. I had no idea TV could be this bad – bleh.

Anyway, my latest fetish is my new Sigma 10mm 2.8 FishEye:

I really love the creative aspect of the lens. Maybe I still in the honeymoon phase with it, but I am loving the perspective the lens creates. It seems to match my mental image of the memory around when the lens was taken. What I have taken so far has been a mix of the first time shooting with it and the second time in near darkness… so I imaging (read: hope) they will get better with experience. In the meantime I am loving this glass!

Here are some first takes:

close up capabilities of the lens (I can see my fingerprint in the full size version)

Sarenna hiding from me

there we go, eyes open this time..

touchdown FTW!

backspin?

trunk or treat!

Another piece of candy Mr. Potter?

Sarenna runs by – first shot of moving subject, not even in AI/Al Servo mode. Check out the full version in my gallery to see the focus of her..

Head over to http://www.datacake.org/woodbgallery to see the larger versions and new images as I add them…
