Sorry I can't help it.
Some shots taken with the 10.5 DX Nikkor fisheye at the weekend and straightened to varying degrees with DxO Optics Pro. To come in Pt 2 - inside Customs House at Circular Quay.
Looking north
Looking south
Edit - added second shot of dam wall facing the other way.

Love the first pic esp with the clouds creating a tunnel effect. The colours are just fantastic!
Wonder if the owner's smile is as big as that Ferrari's....the FE makes it look like it's smiling

Central Station is the 'pic' of the bunch
Did you have any issues with taking photo's there? Were you 'approached' by any security?

Peter - the station shot is superb and shows the real usage of this lens in an all encompassing sense

Looks like you are having a lot of fun with the fisheye. Although not as pronounced as yours, I am having a similar affect with my 17-40 on my FF 5D.

Thank you all for the comments. Pt 2 of this will follow when I get to it. There are some more smiling Ferrari pics, but as said I have some great shots inside Customs House. I'm going under a general anaesthetic & having my upper 2 wisdom teeth out tomorrow (Friday) so depending on the pain it will be a few days (I have all next week off work - not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing). For me the Ferrari was an amazing photographic subject, beautiful shiny surfaces and YES it was really that red.

ALL Lovely shots...
I am most likely going to be outcasted  but here it goes - the last one with the car I feel that the sun reflextion on the front of the car seems to draw my eye there every time and takes away from the lovely pic taken.

Peter, I think you should go back for 1 & 2 about 6:00 a.m., the lighting would be great then! If you leave now you may make it in time for tomorrow
