A Panocturnist Study

The image below, "Brick Wall and Fence, Railroad Avenue," appeared on Dan Mitchell's Blog the other day - linked here. From a Mare Island (MINSy) shoot from a few weeks back, done in partnership with the SF Bay Flyway Festival

This image rather nicely combines three (3) areas of Photography that we just love - Night Photography (NPy), B/W photos, and the panoramic format. Oh-h! - did I mention it was done on Mare Island - make that FOUR!

It's the Lens, baby . . .

Released last October, the introduction of a Fisheye Optic by the Lensbaby folks - moving, as they say "beyond the realm of selective focus . . ." - offers photographers a Creative Effects SLR lens system. Specifically, the Fisheye features an ultra-wide 12mm focal length, 160 degree fisheye angle of view from infinity all the way down to one-inch from the front of the lens. That should do it!
