Fisheye Frenzy – How impulse packing for Radiance of the Seas rocked my world

Fisheye Frenzy

As I raided the camera cabinet for a seven-night cruise on the Radiance of the Seas I accidentally picked up the 15mm fisheye lense looking for a wide angle lense.

And on impulse packed it.

I love that famous fisheye shot of the elephant swimming in Sri Lanka, but always thought that’s just for pros. Up until this trip, I have never been about to hit the shutter button and said to myself  “You know what would make this shot amazing – a fisheye.”

In Melbourne on board Radiance of the Seas it seemed like a good idea.

And then I was addicted… who thought it could be such fun!

And I was hooked, all bad puns intended.

And then I went too far.

Keep that for his 21st.
