With apologies for posting 2 sets today - and further apologies for the dreadful pun in the title of this thread, I thought I would put up a few shots taken with the 10-17 Fisheye, which I recently got a copy of. I have to say it's an addictive lens to use as everything taken with it seems so funky it seems to warrant a great amount of use. My subject on this day was the British Museum...

First up, the Great Court:

Hope you like these. Any C&C welcomed as ever. I seem to have taken a ton of pictures this last couple of weeks (I blame the (nice) weather)

Foyer, YES!, portico - NO. And I can't tell you why, either.

Portico doesn't do it for me either - but love the rest of them.

Thanks all for the comments. I am very much enjoying the fisheye lens. I was in two minds to an extent about the last one but on balance I think I rather like it. I'll try and boost the blues in the sky though...

Nice shots, especially Senties and Foyer, but I don't like the last one at all. I think too much of the steps and the wings of the building are cut off, it just looks very wrong to my eyes

I'm not keen on the last one either but Pharaoh's room is lovely.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
