New Photos.

Once upon a time I was camping with Brett Wyatt and, being the photo nerds we were, we decided to try putting my Raynox fisheye (specifically for my Sony Vx2100), on my Canon digital rebel. Well, some weird lighting effects were present because of the screw mount and the fact that it’s glass on glass, but the threads totally fit together. So I tried shooting some photos but couldn’t get past one major obstacle. That is, the fact that it won’t focus in all the way. Everything is blurry. So, two years later I ask myself if I could make it work and I came up with the idea to close down the aperture as much as possible and see if I can just get a range focus of any kind. It totally works! I’ve been playing around with it this week, and I can actually get stuff to kind of come into focus if I close down the aperture and shoot at a slow shutter. Check it out, mangs.
