Location: Blackcomb, BC
Date: Feb 21, 2007
Aperture: f/9.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Feb 21, 2007

 Shot with my fisheye as I was making my way down Blackcomb. My only goal with this one is to finally submit something with the fishie and have the highest ranked photo for that lens :-P

Sharpen, resize, save for web in CS2

Well, mission accomplished! I must admit though, based on the minimalism challenge I thought I was on pace for a top 10...

I just have to add, that I really love this lens. Its a little soft and the CA in the corners can be bad in high contrast situations (i suppose thats to be expected)... but damn, theres nothing more fun than a fisheye!
