Boy oh boy what a day yesterday so TGIF for sure! Quick thank you for all the supportive emails too guys & gals!

Had a little bit-o-fun last night with my new camera lens (fisheye) and took lots of new picts of the Clubbie! They are all in my gallery so be sure to take a peek

You bet, a simple ol' NikonD40 but it takes the most amazing pictures! My undergraduate was photography so I had top of the line cameras but I don't do much photography anymore....all hobby.

I have to say for the price it is one helluva camera, plus gives the options of added lenses. I've had a blast taking clean, crisp pictures of my new baby

A fisheye lens is a extremely wide angle lens that is used for its effects...here's an explanation that might be helpful http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/105fe.htm or did you mean which particular lens was Lauren using?

P.S. Fun pix - that one checkerboard one makes me feel as though I'm in a "fun house"!

Awesome!! I've gotten back into my photography due to my Clubman purchase. She's just so much fun to take pictures of! Especially as I add oodles of accessories....can't seem to stop

which fisheye lens is that? If i had to guess i would think one of the older nikkor none-DX lens. but the focal length shows to be 32mm so I'm stumped. maybe a fisheye converter on the kit lens?

I have a d70 with the 16mm and i don't get the vignetting like seen in your photos.

You got it, its a simple converter thats screwed onto main lens. Just an Opteka HD 0.22x AF Fisheye for my Nikon SLR. I wanted to play around to see what results I could get. Also looking into the lensbabies since I've heard they are fun!
