Another backup photo today.
I like this one, the layers in the scene really stack up with the reflections in a rather pleasing way.
I am very pleased with this lens; I wish I'd bought one before. It's much nicer than my previous 50mm f/1.4, but has kept the things I liked about that lens. EOS R5, EF50mm f/1.2L
We marked Eve's birthday with a trip to @danslenoirlondon today.
A remarkable experience, and a real hands-on insight into the world without vision that she had lived through latterly.
I don't think I've ever been anywhere so utterly, impenetrably dark. The closest experience I can think of was a tour I once did at the Ilford Photo factory. The very darkest area was, as you might expect, the film production line, and even that had occasional tiny betalights to navigate by.
We went for a drink and a wander round afterwards; the late afternoon light was great, and perhaps perceptually intensified by the couple of hours we had spent in the dark.
Today's actual photo after the jump.
I thought this was a reasonable, not-too-cliched debut for my new fisheye lens.
It's taking a bit more getting used to than I expected, you need to get very close, and it's weird to have it zoom between full frame and circular images.
I'll probably ruminate on here about how it compares to some of my other wide lenses once I've played with it a bit more.
