+David Mathre Wow, 8 mm. Awesome shot. Thanks for all the detailed info about how the shot was taken.
Well done! Very nice composition and technique. It is nice to see some your work from your trip. I leaving in a couple hours for Chicago, stay over night, and then fly to Lisbon tomorrow for two weeks in Portugal.
+John Roach Have a great time in Portugal. I was actually in a bus when I took the picture. We barely stopped because we were late for dinner. I was able to open a window and take 3 quick shots. The only way it would have worked was with the fisheye.
