swan attack

    As mentioned in the comments on the previous photo - taking close-up fisheye shots of swans is a risky business

      swans are evil in white feathers! They'll have a finger off if you're not careful!

      Yeah, they'll give you a nasty nip them buggers. Great shot, did you need the stale bread bribe?

      nope, just the big shiny lens and pink fingers was enough to tempt them ;-)

      hey what lens was this shot with? im off to hong kong on saturday and would love to get a fisheye for my 40d.

    17. FatMandy (41 months ago | reply)

      Tokina 10-17mm - I'd recommend it ,though it would benefit from a focus lock as it can be used in manual (infinity is quite close) in fast conditions but is too easy to move by accident.

      Minor gripes aside, I like it a lot. 17mm is usable for "normal" pictures with little distortion, and 10mm gives you the extreme fisheye...
