This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

It has been awhile since I have dragged out the Tokina 10-17 fisheye, but over the long weekend I did manage a few

The fisheye gives a great look. Like 1 and 2, think 3 would be a bit better if the rhs of the stadium roof was not cut off. I imagine you could not get back far enough to capture all of the roof. :)

I also like the tunnel...has this been defished? (or as Apple predictive text would suggest "fetishes"?) :D

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Nice curves in all these cameron - doing the fisheye justice with that!

I agree about teh stadium shot, needed to be a fraction wider I reckon.

Yep...that 10mm Fisheye just wasnt wide enough for the Stadium....I was in a corporate box and I just couldnt get wide enough.

Actually, the answer is no....I quite liked what happened with this image, the slight curvature could be the tunnel roof, or the lens... you decide!

Thanks Gerry....It is such a pleasure to use, especially out at night when it gives you these distinctive six-pointed stars
