Fish Eye in Winter

I got a long-lusted after fisheye lens for Christmas.  Though I've experimented with the Lomo plastic old-school film camera, and some fun iPhone attachments, this lens is really a class on its own.  It's a Nikkor Fisheye 10.5 mm f/2.8 if anyone is dying to know.  

I got a couple of snaps in cruising around New Orleans;

Fog on the Mississippi

Back home, I got this shot of the ice storming the beach. 

Here is a fisheye shot of a bar in a liquor store where the bartenders bring sour cream and onion dip for the patrons just to be sweet.  IT'S A LOT TO TAKE IN, RIGHT??

Also this guy:

Should I take the yard gnome inside for the winter?

Speaking of New Orleans, what an amazing 3 days.  I love that damn city.  

Even when the hotel lost our reservation, everything surrounding that trip just turned to happy.  Here's what I was doing when I wasn't fiddling with my new fisheye...

What happens when you get drink tickets at the Hotel Monteleone when your rooms get messed up.  Taken with my iPhone when I was quickly forgiving everyone involved.

I took this with my iPhone when I realized that I love chargrilled oysters!  At the Bourbon House.

Jackson Square.  I took this ridiculously gratuitous shot with my iPhone whilst burying the lede.

Dante's Kitchen is an up-uptown restaurant.  The food was amazing.  I couldn't love these dudes more, especially when they accidentally do weird twinsie arm poses.  Taken with my iPhone while guzzling some ridiculous artisinal punch.

I didn't want my other lenses to get jealous of my new fisheye, so here are a couple of straight shots of the march of winter 2015...
