Aspen Path in Rocky Mountain National Park
More fun with a circular fisheye, creating a snow globe effect without the snow! (On my way back from Rocky Mountain National Park, I noticed airport security has quite the collection of snow globes)! I liked the way the fisheye wraps around the aspen trees and pulls everything close together for an interesting canopied look. It’s so hard not to get my toes or tripod legs in the picture, but it’s worth the effort. This image was taken with a full frame sensor camera (Nikon D3s) and a Sigma 8mm fisheye lens, producing an entirely circular fisheye photograph. The aspen are turning orange and gold in the higher elevations around Bear Lake and are really quite beautiful. Enjoy Autumn!
Lovely photo showing the colors of Fall.
Good morning Lynne, and thank you! It was great to see the first touch of fall!
Beautiful image, Deborah. I visited RMNP last year. Wish I had thought of doing a shot like this. I guess it was because a didn’t have a circular fisheye. At least now I have a regular fisheye lens, though. Maybe I’ll get some good images when the leaves change color. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you! The fisheye creates a different look, which is a nice alternative. A regular fisheye is great too – I’m sure you’ll get some great shots this fall!
Hi Deborah,
I like this picture allot. You can handle the ultra wide lens well.
I got this lens on my wish list after getting a full frame camera as Nikon 700x, and lenses as Nikon 45PC and Zeiss 18mm
I will attend your “work of art” again in December or January.

I have been bussy cleaning up my expences this year so I have cut down on equipment and courses
Hi Thomas,
Thank you! It’s a fun lens to work with, really different view. You’ll enjoy working with it! I hope to see you in Dec or Jan, that would be great!
