Fish Eye

Recently a friend lended me his Sigma 8mm fish eye lens. Shooting with a fish eye is a big change and I'm not sure that I'm used to it yet. One odd thing is that since I'm shooting with a DSLR that has a conversion factor of 1.6, the fish eye is cropped. Below is one of the first images that I shot with the lens on a recent trip into San Francisco. My wife Michelle (pictured) and I stumbled into a crazy store near Union Square, and I snapped this as we were walking down the stairs.
