I've always thought of the fisheye lens as a gimmick lens. But the more I've shot with it, the more I've learned to appreciate its quirky fruitions. Thus, I decided to make it part of the court, nicknaming it the "jester" lens. Yesterday my new toy took center stage, and the family and I headed up to the north shore to enjoy what was left of the holiday weekend.

I thought that Haleiwa's old plantation-style buildings, in their exalted green and red facades, would make for a more eminent backdrop. On top of that, the rainbow colored shave ice (which still tastes better at Waiola Shave Ice in town) would be a good way to test the color saturation on the thing.

Oh, and it was a fun experience for everyone too. Win-win! :)
