I shot this with the 15mm fisheye while in Vancouver. Took me a while to get the scene without people in it.

Here I bracketed about three exposures and did a marry job in Photoshop to get all the parts evenly exposed for the best latitude. Otherwise the dome would be all blown out.

I don't get to use the fish on architecture very much but every now and again a good scene needs it.

sorry, im out of points for today

Hi Robert,
Breathtaking view my friend. The fish aye perspective works fine here. Superb sharpnes and lighting. Apperantly you took the shot on purpose withot people; IMHO the image can be improved with people. Nevertheless its an excellent posting Robert. TFS!

Nice and sharp, but I dont like the interuption of the circle. Gives no satisfaction to the eyes. Overall nice.
Take care
Rob

Hi Robert

Fantastis PP work with this. The 3 exposure combination came out great. The lighting is evenly distributed and looks perfect. The dome reminds me of a fisheye itself. Nice choice of lens.

Great picture Robert, well done with the fisheye.
TFS,
Mihaela

I like the effect from the fish eye lens. Well done with the HDR exposures.

Great PP work. There was no other way to properly expose the whole scene.

Personally, the fisheye can be used at any rates. ;o) It's my favorite lens.

Cheers!

Nicely seen, I like the composition, round subject and the round effect of the fish give a good effect to this pic. Well done !

Very nice work indeed. Great idea to take all 3 exposures to get this perfect image! I really can't wait to get my fisheye :-)

Nice colors, great dome!

Hi Robert

A striking effect using the fisheye & good to have no distractive people around, although sometimes they do give a sense of scale. Wonderful pov & sharpness. Tfs!

Great effect with that fisheye Robert. I think the round shape lends itself well the the properties of that lens. Well seen and well presented.

The symmetry is perfect, and your PoV very good. Very nice balance of the light indeed! Nice job!

Very interesting use of the fish-eye and very successful, Robert. Very nicely composed and I like how we see the sky & the building through the dome. Kudo to your patience because this is place with normally lots of people...Well done!
