Tacoma Hand Blown Glass and the Fisheye

I recently got a fisheye lens, this one specifically Rokinon 8mm F3.5 Fisheye.  Its a fully manual lens that is just fun to play with.  You have to set up the aperture and focal length like the old manual SLR camera, and at 8mm you really get some great distortion in your image(s).  I got the lens so I could capture some really big monuments at Monument Valley
Navajo Nation Monument Valley Visitor Center

Friendliest Dog at Monument Valley
This is the friendliest dog I have ever met. get your print of him here: Australian Shepherd


and some random Buildings

and didn't think I would use it as much as I have but I have found that I really love it.  I've even done some portraits with them.
Cute couple getting pictures.
