I couldn't find a 'best of' listing for this full frame fisheye, so I'll start it off.
Here's a shot I took while camping the other day, this is Loch Clair in the Scottish Highlands.
Loch Clair by Garian Photography, on Flickr
Taken with the Canon 5D Mkll.
Red Snapper tripod + Giottos ballhead MH 1300.
4 exposures, one stop apart, via Magic Lantern.
Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop HDR Pro and tweaked with Nik Color Efex Pro.
With the aid of a head-net and insect repellent, because of the millions* of midges forming a cloud around my body
*no exaggeration, I counted them! _________________ Gary

I thought you take a sip or two of whiskey to protect against midges.
(If they still bother you just take another sip, repeat until they stop)

I would be happy to test this theory, it's sounds great, but I was driving so I couldn't this time.

Sorry I missed your post
Lovely shot. It really is a great little lens, plus it's fairly cheap for a brand new one (I got mine from eBay, new). _________________ Gary

At the wider end it's not brilliant in the corners, though I don't think it's any worse than other, similar lenses. If it stops raining here (back end of Bertha is crapping on us just now) I'll take it out so I can share some examples.
The landscape in the first post was shot around f11 I think, so it's very good at the edges. _________________ Gary

You downloaded it? How? Only I should be able to do that. I just checked the Flickr settings and no one else should have access to my photos, which is what I want. _________________ Gary

Thanks for letting me know, I clearly need to contact Flickr about this. I have chosen all the right options to have any download link removed but it obviously hasn't worked. Shit. _________________ Gary

I guess something changed when Flickr changed it's look some months ago, I had no idea. I sell some of those photos from my website and some are licensed via Getty, it's no good if anybody can just take them.
Glad I caught it now (thanks again) but who knows how many have been taken and used elsewhere? _________________ Gary

You can always search after your pictures by hitting the camera icon on Google and look for duplicates of some of your photos

Sunrise here this morning, this is our village pier which is used by local fishermen in warmer months (-10 when I took this brrrrrr).

It's a full frame fisheye but there has been no perspective changes made here. Putting the horizon dead centre nullifies the distortion, most of the time.
