Hawaiian Tree

$Hawaiian Tree by /\ltus.$

Another photo from our Hawaii trip that I didn't post in sequence...

...posting this one because I think it a good example of how well the fisheye lens can work in encompassing most of the upper branches.

1xp RAW HDR shot taken of one of the trees in Fort DeRussy park on our way back to the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Waikiki, Hawaii

Wow factor 10.
"You must have a really nice camera"
I love it when I get that comment after a customer or other admirer sees an image of mine that strikes them! : ~ )

Seriously creative and beautiful at once. Beginning to like fishy images for the first time in 30 years. Wouldn't you know, it's the only lens type I don't own. Thanks!

What a gorgeous tree! I would love to have a lens like that. I have been wanting to photograph a tree that looks haunted somehow and can never get all of the tree in the shot--without standing in traffic, lol. Fabulous capture~ Have a lovely day. :0)

Very nice fisheye photo. What's wonderful with this lens is how the picture can be dramatically changed by just changing a bit the camera angle.

Another awesome shot! I love the way the branches came out, and the light vs. darkness is amazing here.

Fisheye and HDR?

Well, I'll give it to you. You've won. You found a way to make overdone HDR look even worse. Looking at this photo makes me feel like I'm playing Crysis with a fishbowl taped to my face.
