Fun With Wide Angles & Macro



I was playing around with a friend's macro/wide angle lens adapter today (an Opteka HD Wide Angle Panaromic Macro mounted on an 18-200 macro zoom lens) and got a few good shots, posted on the Flickr page. Most are in the Max set but there are two macro flower pics that are "loose" in the photostream (I need to upgrade the account soon to post in more than just 3 sets).

I haven't really played with any true macro shooting before or a fisheye, but I liked both. I may have to add this toy to the camera bag, or start looking into dedicated lenses. I'm still planning on buying a good 50mm lens for portraits so might as well just add this to the wishlist. :)

PS: Sure, it's the lens that makes Max's right eyebrow look like it's cut shorter than his left; it's not my terrible dog grooming skills at all, I promise.
