Northern California Through the Fisheye

Earlier this summer I had a great vacation in northern California.  I took three cameras, a Canon digital SLR with a variety of lenses, a Sony Cybershot with panorama, and my trusty iPhone.

I got great images with all three, but had the most fun with the iPhone. I treated myself to a set of specialty lenses for the iPhone--a wide angle, a macro and a fisheye, and they all worked astonishingly well.

The fisheye lens did a amazing job of capturing a curvy and expansive slice of the scenery.

Very interesting effects! Looks like we both hit some of the same high spots in California this summer.

The first three reminded me
of a crystal ball!
Do I see a quilt coming from
one of these photos? (-:
