A few more 180's from the Nikkor 10.5mm

This Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens is actually quite fun to use and certainly can produce some interesting photographs. I previously talked about my first reactions to this lens in Fisheye Views. Well, I haven't used the lens a huge amount more up to this point but it sure is a blast to pull it out once in a while. I read a forum post where some fellow talked about leaving the Nikon fisheye on his camera for about half of his photos. I think this would be a bad idea!

These two images are of a Beaver Tail Cactus and Mojave Juniper in Joshua Tree National Park. This particular beaver tail was a bright green with very gold spines. This is quite uncommon around here as most of them are a dark green. The Junipers are knarled trees that typically live to between 100 and 225 years old although some specimens may live beyond 1,000 years. This tree looks like it died at an old age.
