Fisheye Chi Skyline March 25, 2011 | Chicago, IL

This morning, I was fortunate enough to shoot with an awesome photographer, Dave Wilson. Among other things, we discussed how frequenting a certain location often forces a photographer to come up with creative perspectives on scenes. Here is a shot from the North Ave. Beach pier, using my new fisheye lens!

Thanks for the compliment, Matty, but it seems we have a mutual admiration thing going on! This shot is way better than anything I took this morning!

Incredible shot! I just love the use of distorting a fisheye lens in this manner.

Love the placement of the no diving sign in the corner. Very well composed and excellent used of the fisheye distortion
