Shot at the Big Bay Balloon Parade. I just got the fisheye last week (ahead of schedule) just to use at this event. I was hoping that it would be very useful for the balloons. It was but not to the extent I thought it would be. I had no idea how wide this lens was and how close you needed to be. After mucking with the lens for just a couple of days and probably no more than a dozen shots or so, I could see that you really wanted to be closeup to the subject. When the clowns were coming down the street I knew exactly what I needed and thankfully this fine clown was more than willing to participate. I'm not sure he was shocked when I literally got 2 inches from his face but his clown partner couldn't believe it.
I'm hoping for real big things with this picture. It seems to totally meet the challenge and it's very entertaining too!
