Experimenting with a borrowed fisheye (thx PJ!)

Nice sunset - next time I will dim the screens and try a little light on the panel.

Fish eye

I got an Opteka 0.20x fisheye lense to screw on the Canon EFS 18-55mm zoom lense. Both of them at the low end. However, I got pretty good effects:

Panel illumination

Nice shot Pete! What are you using for lighting up the panel? I can't see it but it appears to be an LED shining up from the left of the cockpit.

Hi Robert,

I have Luxeon on a homebrew dimmer tucked under the right slider rail. It does a nice job and stays out of the way.
 
Cool picture, but just think how nice it'd be without that bar running down the middle of the canopy ;)
