I was always skeptical, and thought that a fish-eye lens would be a toy. Something not to be treated seriously. Well I will admit I was wrong. I like the effect it has on a landscape. I guess some people, might not like the effect this lens can produce, but I always liked it. I think if used right a fisheye lens has a place in any photographers arsenal. I have decided to test it on an Alberta landscape. Since I've never shot with a lens like that I did not know that the photographer can control the amount of distortion. Also this is a hugely wide angle lens. I almost get lost in the wideness of the world seen through the lens. It's quite amazing. Here are some test shots. Enjoy.

The snow is mostly gone, here on the prairies, but it will be some weeks before we see greenery and flowers blooming. I can’t wait! It has been a long winter and I sure could use a bit of color. Late spring or early summer images are great for it because all is fresh and green is bright and not dimmed by dust of late summer days.

We are lucky here in Alberta, because some nights are full of light show. We had a couple of gorgeous Aurora showing last fall and I have managed to capture some shots without leaving the city.

I know, I know it is winter and everybody posts winter photography, but I am not ready for it yet. I see it outside my window every day, so I want to see something warm, colorful and pretty. Hope you are in need of this as well.

It has been a while since I’ve posted anything about Elk Island National Park. So, I think, it is time for some lovely sunset from the beginning of summer, when all was green, flowers were blooming and days were warm and long.
