Fisheye Wine Country

So lovely to have a friend let me play with her fisheye lens (Thanks, Jess! You're the greatest). The fisheye filter on Camera Bag (iPhone app) just isn't the same as playing with the real thing. And now that I've taken a gander, there's so much more I want to experiment with. Oh, the possibilities! But fun things I've learned from playing with the fisheye lens today:

1. Not only is there an extended view of left and right but also up and down! A lot of my shots had my hands holding my phone at the bottom. 

2. I like how straight lines go bendy.

3. Upclose is one of my faves.

4. The non round objects look far more interesting.

5. Taking in the scenery in a different way. At first, I was really into up close and personal portraits but when I decided to take the scenery in, I was really excited by the results.

6. Fisheye is just straight up badass. Or can make buying a case of wine even more badass than it already is.

 7. I wish I did more horizontal shots.

8. New way to do group pictures!
