Thanks Lance, interesting times then...

Of course 'barriers to entry' in this particular case (assuming the next level up is indeed FF) will need to include the significant investment many others have in Pentax APSC lenses that are not compatible with FF.

Lovely detailed shot.

It's got it's eye on you though - how close was this?

We have native paper wasps here Peter, they attach their nests in much the same way as can be seen behind this wasp's abdomen.

It's just the way the fisheye works - it appears to exaggerate the foreground at the expense of the background (that's part of the fun of it). It also depends on how much emphasis you were intending to give the lighthouse.

I also meant to ask - there's a rectangular object sticking up out of the rock (or concrete?) in front of the lens, fairly central... A piece of metal?

Seems to make sense for both - if Hoya has the expertise with the glass substrate for HDDs, then you can imagine WD chasing it if they believe they won't met projected demand.

Which, in turn, tells us something quite interesting about solid state drives...

Roy,

Methinks the fisheye may have played a cunning trick on you here - you probably would have got all the foreground you wanted (and more) if you had moved a fair bit closer to the lighthouse...

A Panasonic LX3 - very nice camera for a compact.

That wouldn't look out of place as a postcard Simon.

Interesting abstract, and I like the colours - what was behind the window? It looks too blue-ish to be foliage.
