"Get back in there!"

I wanted to, uh, keep my hand in the weekly assignments, so I came up with this idea.

If you happen to check exif, you'll note that there's no aperture listed. That's because I used the cheap Peleng fisheye, with manual diaphragm and, of course, no electronic contacts.

Jess,

This is a very unique and creative use of the fisheye. Thanks for, umh, pointing it out.

This may be a n00b questions, but what is exif?

Exposure info? How would I check it on your photo?

Good pic by the way.

It stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is info that gets recorded by all digital cameras. It tends to stay with the image file, even after processing and preparing for the web, but it is only seen with exif viewer software of various sorts. Some of the people here use such software regularly, and will comment on everything from the shutter speed to the date the photo was created. You'll see exif data when you use Photoshop's "Bridge" for file browsing, or Capture One raw converter, and so forth. There are also small programs designed for little more than pulling up the exif.

Thanks Peter. I don't find the Peleng 8mm very satisfying for use on a full frame camera (fuzzy edge of the circle,etc.), but it's fun to get it out once in a while. In this case, I also got out the old D60, since I knew I wouldn't want a 180 degree view. Still ended up doing a little cropping and cloning.

Jess,
I think I need a week long instruction session with you. You always come up with something that looks great, is interesting, and speaks to the topic! I sit and scratch my head all week...
Good idea!

Joe, you're too kind! I come up with ideas, but turning them into high quality images does not always come easily. I have to admit that in this instance it was a case of thinking that the fisheye might help to generate a different point of view, and fortunately for me, playing with the lens quickly led in the direction that you see here. I think the photo could have benefited from more attention to lighting, but it is what it is...
Isn't that a great attitude - not!

Good point. Like the use of the wide angle to put across your point.
