Trying to better my one fall tree photo, took out the 10mm OP which makes the center bigger than other fisheyes, and deployed the filters to see what might happen:
I liked the first one better. Tree is in a little gully and the 7.5mm with linear angular projection keeps the banks, the 10mm orthographic projection compresses the banks making the photo simpler.

Is there anything you can't shoot in the dark, Colin? Plena people should be using this as a "balls" test. Very cool.
I exposed for the highlights so it was easy to de-emphasis and darken the unoccupied building that I used as the back drop.
This is a pretty large Xmas decoration globe that hangs high above the street.
I would like to repeat the shot using the 135/2 wide open.

Great story-telling Andy. FTR, I couldn't find the aforementioned high end luxury shop in the photo. I just love the setting of the whole place, I'm not surprised it's the place to be. BTW: All NZ photos must be in colour . That way I get to appreciate the beauty of that Fuji sensor in all its glory.
The luxury shop is in a different shot on my flickr I think
Here's the colour versions. I used Astia rather than my usual Velvia for a change. I do like the colour of the prop and the shop front reflection in colour I must say.
Love the tree fisheye shots Rafael, as Jim says, they do look like Christmas baubles.
Very colourful and creative Colin, I love it.
Thanks for your efforts Glen, you have kept the thread going almost single handedly at times and I wanted to know we all appreciate your efforts. Hopefully I can help out a bit more soon.
Love to see houses from the US Jay, it's always interesting and I'll be posting some from NZ soon for comparison !

This is the rundown DeJarnette building in Staunton. There are 2 buildings just alike and I was only able to capture this one. The whole area is fenced off. The story behind it and it's namesake is right out of a horror story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_DeJarnette
The last time we tried to have a tree - the cats plotted destruction for days. I ended up hanging it from the ceiling from both ends - parallel to the floor. Yesterday Barb decided to try the traditional - on the floor approach - which obligated me to document it's condition before the cat shenanigans began.
