Beautiful wide angle shot, congratulations! #9749881Joseph M. Muench October 21, 2011
Thank you, everyone, for the awesome comments! They are very much appreciated!Joannie, yes, this image was accomplished with a fisheye lens (10.5mm Nikkor) and HDR (Photomatix 4), both of which can easily be overdone! The fisheye provided the virtual shore-to-shore (180 degree) coverage that I wanted with controlled distortion (i.e. not egregious) which I like to employ as a deliberate pictorial element in some of my images.
Thanks again, all!
