My First Fisheyes
Three months and two days after ordering it, my fisheye is in my hands. Fortunately everybody chose today to be “Don’t Go Skateboarding Day”, and everybody at the park sucked. I shot some random stuff around town to try and get a feel for the lens when my friend Nick called me to go skate [...]

Just received this mail a couple minutes ago. I’m at work, and I can’t stop laughing to myself.

Found One!!
It has been nearly 3 full months since I originally ordered my Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye from Adorama, and it still sits on backorder. During this time, I was checking 3 or 4 other major camera retailers online EVERY DAY to see if anybody was getting any in stock, but to no avail. I was also [...]

Had the urge to take photos of bugs today, and since I don’t have a macro lens, I have to fake it with my zoom and aggressive cropping. Stumbled across a bee hanging out on a dandelion and decided to work on my bug shooting chops there. Nothing amazing… didn’t use a fast enough shutter [...]
Read More..>>Backorder Nightmare
Last night I had a dream that I checked my email (I know, intense) and Adorama had shipped my fisheye lens. It was extremely disappointing to actually check my email today and see that yes, it is still on backorder, and they have no idea when Nikon will be getting them out to distributors.
