The Fisheye in Green-Wood
March 27, 2019
I’m breaking in my new lens! My Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Ultra Wide Fisheye Lens captures a ton more than my other lens. Just look: On the left, my old lens (Tamron 18-200mm) and on the right, the Rokinon, taken from the same cushion on my couch. That’s the fish eye.
For my first wide lens mission, my favorite: Green-Wood Cemetery. This mission would be perfect for my usual tradition of killing time in between Parent-teacher Conferences. But the manual focus and zoomless lens would have me experimenting with different compositions than my usual angel hunts. I’ll admit, it took me some getting used to.
I love these wintery trees. They look like perfect horror movie trees.
This lens grabs an impressive 180 degrees.
Me, after meeting with my students’ parents.
Walk softly
This is the beauty of this lens.
I missed my zoom a bit. But seeing some of these shots, I am excited to head back in when I have more time… and when the trees bloom.
Cemetery season, part 2, here I come! With my 🐟👁
And in a PTC lull, one of my other favorite places
