They say you will fisheye everything when you first get your fisheye...i have a feeling this is true.

here are are few from the Seven Bridges Walk before the rain meant I had to pack away the Tokina and the D60.

Sorry guys, but I had to have a crack at this shot as well.

Cameron,
love the #4 for the color, composition and the interest it conveys. Great stuff.

#1 is also good but I think I am getting used to this shot as stubssy has already done this one recently.

The other two are not enhanced by a fisheye effect per se.

Hi Cameron....

Like the first one out of this series... just need a bit more pop or contrast.

While the other three are interesting, they feel too centered to me.... sometimes it's good to step back and remember the rule of thirds for static objects in my opinion.

Some good stuff aim54x. I like the composition of these four. You may be able to add a little more drama with some PP though. I had a little bit of a tweak of the first photo, I hope you dont mind. Although, hopefully you can come up with something far better than the rabble ive produced, it's just an idea.

I think with that second shot, you should really get right down to the car and fill the frame with it. The background is pretty uninteresting and the busted car with a boulder through the roof will come up a treat if you take full advantage of the fishy.

Third one seems soft. Nice flower though.

Fourth shot I like the look of. Great colours. Interesting shot.

Hope some of this helps.

Thanks for the comments guys. I do like the rework on the bridge (thanks hellman) as for the composition and framing techniques...I will have to stop draw dropping when i use the fish and think a bit more before i fire off my frames.
