Got a fisheye for my birthday so it was time to do some testing!

Jason, which model fisheye? I have been thinking of getting Canon's 15mm, but Samyang/Rokinon/Bower/etc just announced a 12mm f/2.8 that is sure to be cheap.

The wife bought me the Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye for APS-c. I shoot with a 7D, so no 14mm here. She was going to get me the Canon fisheye L zoom, but I stupidly insisted she get this instead. :confused: I might try to talk her into another lens to make up the difference.

:cool: More lenses...more fun....

Well, this was a tough week indeed. I was both honored and challenged judging this week. Amazing work everyone. That being said....

Here we go...

Portrait: Handsome Men by Jayson This shot is very impressive. The use of black and white is perfect and sets this one apart from the rest.
This was not an easy choice. The other entries were all excellent.

Landscape:"Lime Kiln Lighthouse at Sunset" by Kayaker72. Excellent shot. The sun on the water, the branches in the foreground, the ripples in the water...everything stands out and blends together at the same time. Great composition. This was also a tough one. The other entries were all quite good.

Thanks again for allowing me to judge. Images like this weeks entries are the reason I love this thing called Photography...

[Jayson]

Thank you very much Jerry! Congrats Brant! Great photos this week everyone.

[Kayaker72]

Thanks Jerry. Judging is never easy. At least, I always struggle with it.

Congrats Jayson. Another great shot.
