Fisheye Palm Tree

[denise ippolito]

Sorry for my lack of participation. I've been in Florida co-leading back to back workshops with Arthur Morris. The first workshop was sponsored by Canon and was held in Everglades NP. The second one was Artie's Southwest Florida IPT. Randy Stout and Daniel Cadieux were both co-leading that workshop also. Indranil attended the workshop but couldn't join us on the boat due to work but it was great spending time with him. Roman Kurywczak met us down in Florida and the BPN gang went out on James Shadle's boat for a day of Spoonbills. It was great fun.

This image was taken at sunset with the 15mm fisheye lens. I used Lightroom to adjust the colors and darken up the blacks a bit, other than that it's full frame as shot. The little white circle on the right is the moon.

Denise, looks like that lens has found a new home in your camera bag! Another really nice image using a lens that requires a lot of skill. I love the color gradient in the sky. Super!

Sorry I missed the party. Sounds like a real hoot!

[Judy Howle]

You really are a master with the fisheye! Very nice!

Sounds like a fun trip, wish I could have been there too.

Great use of the fisheye, Denise! Wish I had one!

Us West coast BPN'ers need to have a rendezvous:eek:!

[Kerry Perkins]

Dan, I've been thinking the same thing. West Coast BPN meetup!

[Brendan Dozier]

Very creative Denise with the fisheye and silohuette. Sounds like you guys had a great trip!

[Steve Adkins]

That fisheye view is wild! Neat gradients and silhouette.

[Indranil Sircar]

Excellent fish-eye composition, Denise. Love the silhouette look and the bg colors leading to the tree top on the lower curve. TFS.

I've always loved the results you get with fish-eye lenses, this image is no exception, very nice colors
