Hmmm.. I could try but its only a single exposure so don't think I'll be able to get too much detail out of the foreground hey

Nice shots of 32's too rhys!

Yeah I agree with the nice use for a ford. there definately is a certain little bit of satisfaction when we're testing fords > hahaha

Cheers Mat. The 2nd shot was with my mates 70-200 lens, he let me borrow it for a bit. I loved it so much, I'm buying one as soon as I get the money. Plus a 17-85 as well. The shots just come out so much clearer, as you'd all know.

The best ass ever

Is that a fish-eye lens, Sidd? Or something related?

mates mucking around in hastings.

[siddr20]

^ excellent bike shots. Love the 2nd last one. Natural lighting or flash used? looks like flash in the last two, but could be wrong.

-------------------------------

I only borrowed it for the day. So much fun tho!! Its a great lens.

I was looking at fish eye lenses on eBay, and found a whole heap of add-on lenses for less then $50. What are your thoughts on these, guys? They attach to the end of your existing lenses. Cheaper then $600 for a new lense, but dont want anything dodgy.

Go easy on me, I'm still learning the basics of my DSLR.

Taken with Nikon D60 on our recent trip to Port Douglas and the Daintree. What I really learned was to take good shots I had to use the manual focus because all of the tree branches and stuff caused the autofocus to fritz.

Here are a couple of ones that I thought were ok for an amateur. Croc was "Scar Face" on Daintree River Croc Cruises, Lizard was on a full day 4 WD tour (called Boyd's Dragon) and Golden Orb was freakishly huge - as big as my hand.

IMO they are a waste of money, and have limitations/distortions/vignetting caused by the imbalance between the lens and the add on.
