My town hosts an annual 5k run every Memorial Day. I usually run it, but I haven’t been running consistently in at least a year. So this year I was a spectator. A spectator with an iPhone camera and a fish eye lens attachment, that is…

You know what? The fish eye lens attachment from Ztylus is far more fun than I gave it credit for… -

Fish-Eye Friday. Cause why not? -
Here I am, finding more uses for the fisheye lens than I thought. Tonight was the annual Sweetheart Dance at my daughter’s school. Actually, it used to be called the Daddy Daughter Dance, but the school changed it up this year so that moms and sons could attend. This year, it was held in the gym (it had previously been held in the cafeteria) and to capture the full scope of the space, I used the Ztylus fisheye. -
I know I said I didn’t think I’d have a lot of use for a fish eye lens. Well, turns out, a fish eye lens makes selfie’s REALLY interesting. Here I am embracing my inner lumberjack.Okay, I’m done. The snow can go away now.

One of the lens that comes in the Ztylus lens kit is a fish eye lens. Fish eye lens are a little on the weird end of photography, I find. It gives you an really interesting picture in certain situations, but its application is so limited. How many landscapes of selfies can you really see in a fish eye view before you go “Okay, enough already, I get it, the world is bendy.”That said, I had to try the fish eye at least once. I knew the picture I wanted to capture, it was more a question about whether the fish eye lens would make it look cool or just kind of goofy. I walked along a path at work today until I came to a group of trees, pointed the camera straight up, and snapped.
I gave the picture some post-processing in Snapseed to make it more moody. I think it turned out, for the most part okay. I don’t know how often I’ll use the fish eye lens, but once in a while, it’s fun.
