Trying out my new Sigma fisheye lens at the pool and cabana area in my neighborhood. Also played with the color a bit.

This is a great photo.....love the perspective, wide angle and eye popping color, but I'm not going to tell you that cause you are teasing us about the weather ;-D
Glad you are having fun and success with your birthday present.

Nice frame for that SoCal poolside scenery, Patricia, it all looks so warm and inviting! Enjoy your sunshine and watch out for lens flare!!! #365245

Stanley J. Contrades February 06, 2004

Hope you have lots of room at your place, Patricia. With shots like this you're asking to be "invaded" (LOL)! I'm kinda safe with that big 'ol ocean out there ;-) And it's raining, cloudy, and windy anyway. That lens really is giving you sharpness up front. Good catch!
Aloha,

Stephen, Bill, Carol and Stan, thank you!

Bill, thanks for not telling me what you think of the photo. LOL! Sorry 'bout that! :-)

Carol, thanks for the warning about lens flare. I tried the lens out right away on the dogs and saw how overexposed the images were, so I now know what you mean!

Stan, I think it's much more likely that you'd be invaded; after all, you live in paradise! Mahalo! -- Pakelekia #366269
