Yesterday was my town's annual festival, Poolesville Day. Inspired by Alan
Chan's virtuosity with his Pentax SMC 15/3.5K, I decided to shoot the day's
events using nothing but a fisheye. Hey--if Henri Cartier Bresson shot the
world with only (or mostly) a 50...
Bad idea. Few scenes looked interesting from a fisheye perspective.
Scenes that benefited from a fisheye: The circular town center; an historic old
house with an American flag draped over the porch; wagons full of kids waiting
for the parade to begin; the library's book-sale tables and book-sale room.
Scenes that didn't benefit from a fisheye: Everything else I saw, including the
parade itself, crowd scenes, and vendor booths.
Well, in a week or so I'll receive my Vivitar Series One 24-48/3.8K from Foro-
Schneider of Austria. That promises to be a decent festival lens.
