Just amazing. I'm forever surprised how you manage to not have your feet in these pictures. There are normal wide angle lenses where your feet will be in the picture if you focus on something small but these < 10mm fisheyes avoid that. You really are a master of this genre.
There is this top secret recipes Siphiwe:
1) lean forward
2) do not post any fisheye shots with your feet or belly included!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! (or as we say Buon Anno).
Missed too many pages to comment on everything I'd want to ...but Ray, really love the snow pics with the 25 - 50mm, especially the bench with the footprints, that's so well seen.
Rafael, I know this is the season of joy and peace but seeing the pics of your exquisite lenses is eating me up.
Yesterday was just 1 lens, Nikkor D.C. 45 F/4. Will be posting from these for next week or so.
Live Stock Exchange and Kansas City Stockyards (now defunct) prompting the huge annual American Royal livestock show at Kemper Arena, the site of the 1976 Republican National Convention. Additionally, The West Bottoms was home to large industrial district which produced plows and tractors starting in the 1870s. Many of the factory buildings still stand. Some prominent examples are The Oliver Building, The Nichols and Shepard Building and The John Deere Building.
Its even more run down now due to COVID, I saw lots and lots more abandoned buildings and businesses. Quite a few more to come of this area. I will need to go back again to finish up.
Please forgive the width in advance, this was 17K x 5X so you really can only downsize so much before it looses what it is. This image does have a few issues, means I need to go back and redo it the right way!
I typically drive but my wife did the chores for the first part of our trip today. Nothing too spectacular but I was happy to have some color, and something different to shoot. Had in mind a couple of other themes I tried out this morning, and will post those next year.
Enjoyed the family portrait, Andy. The Melbourne series has been a terrific armchair tour for me.
Superb new year greeting Lofoten pic Ronny. Love the blueish tones!
Good to see you back Reagan.
Jay, enjoying the very colorful and warm feeling flora!
Siphiwe, echoing the praises for the spiderweb image.
Rafael, looks like a wonderful NYE gathering, small, classy, and intimate!
You are continuing to make the m43 sensor shine, Jose. Combined with the high IQ of the high ISO Nikon shots you post, you have some special sauce for noise reduction and sharpening that is really effective to my eyes.
Congrats on the stunning Nikon F, Ani.
Scott, I especially appreciate the third IR pic, the bare trees on the left and the hay draw my eye back to view again and again.
Samy, the sideways "rain" was actually really wet snow, silly me first time out this season in the damp cold, and I lasted all of 10 minutes outdoors. Must put on my winter photography mindset next time I head out.
Mark, more pictures with stories like the Live Stock Exchange and Kansas City Stockyards, please!
Colin, the IR Gunnera is simply stunning. One of my favorite IR's ever.
