Double W I D E Toronto - At Night - 8mm Fisheye
Double W I D E Toronto - At Night - 8mm Fisheye

So I went out and finnaly bit the bullet and bought myself a fisheye lense. It cost me close to 800 Dollars but was worth every penny and the year wait. Here are a few of my first shots with the lense, all at night. There will be many more to come and a follow up of the rooftop views in the daytime.

First, the lense:




First Stop, the Eaton Center


Queen & Yonge


City Hall


Gazebo, Fire and Water


Queen Street


My Rooftop - Jazz - Looking East


Jazz - Looking North


Jazz - Looking North West


Jazz - Looking West


Jazz - Looking South


There are many more to come, hope you all enjoyed!

Looks like a birdseye view.

But great observation pix there.

Good one :hilarious:

Cool photos... yep. A bit TOO fish for my taste.
I'd prefer a Lobster Eye lense to grip bubble butts on the street.

That's one hell of a lens. Love how you can see three coners of the street.

Very cool stuff WZ. Crisp shots too. But please do me a favor, don't ever take my pic with that lens (I need a slimming effect, not one to make me more stout. ).

Thanks for the TO pics.

I love that wide-angle lens. It's really effective in the Eaton Centre!
