  Back at the beginning of January a snow shot taken from my balcony.

  I’m not fully sure how appropriate it is for this forum but I think it is a little abstract.

  Thanks for looking and any comments,

  it is strange how it curves, is that a special lense that does that? I like this, it reminds me of the animation The snowman” Almost cartoon like, especially bottom left.

  Thanks for looking Connie. Yeah, this was taken with a fisheye lens.

  It gives a 180 degree field of view but doesn’t correct for distortion.

  I find the lens a lot of fun to use, although having read a few posts on here, most people don’t seem to keen on it. It’s great for fun pictures of your friends and somewhat abstract stuff, like this.

  Thanks again for looking,

  Alan
