quick and dirty

by AxelLuther

due to a technical defect, I had to send back my 10-17 fisheye.... I then decided to go for the Sigma 8-16 - this one is corrected, but I thought, that's OK as you can easily fake the fisheye in photoshop and still have the opportunity to shoot almost without diatortion.
It came today and I had no time at all - so when I waited to get my winter tires swapped to summer tires, I stepped 10 m aside the pit stop and shot this one and only quick and dirty test shot. To make it a bit more special I went for the color key. I love the angle of this new lense and I can't wait to make real shots with it......
I also added a slight fisheye effect in Photoshop.

btw - the most amazing thing was - I was so close to the dredger bucket that I could have reached it with my hand....

Looks like it eats photographers for lunch!
Most effective.

Perfect shot. I like the effect of the fish eye and the colour extracting.
