Like buildings that curve upwards. There is a software program which corrects the distortion and produces a proper natural panoramic view, I may invest in it later.

#3 - somebody on that streetcar has to be wearing a personal clock!

Okay. I hallucinated a clock on the top of the front of the white building.

You'll have to show a before and after if you get it!! I like them the way they are now!!! My fave thing about the fish eye is the way curved distortion!!! It's just neat, I love looking at them!!! Thanks for getting the lens and sharing!!!!

Very nicely done Mike. Both of them.

Thanks. In case you are wondering, that is a clock from a decommissioned US Navy submarine. It is a little dilapidated, but it still works.
Diamond Lil

Thanks for the comments. For the first shot, the toning was done with a preset in curves. "warm midtones" followed by "rustica". I also added some film grain in photoshop. You can download both curves presets for free from www.blackandwhitedigital.com

On the 2nd photo, it is the Gorman-Holbert conversion, and of course.....BOTH are HDR....but I guess that part was pretty obvious. :D

These are not good pictures but rather some of the clocks at my parents house. I was running through the house this morning and snapped these quickly with bad light.

Look at both photos together. See the fade in the building at the top
right of the window due to the years of reflection from the clock.

I think a real photographi score for my subject would hav been to find the proper angleat which one coul visualize both the clock and the window on the wall. I would have to have been about 12 feet tall to even have a chance.
