Fishy snapshots

Candids with a fisheye.

Once nice thing about the Canon Fisheye is that you can take candids very close to your subject without the latter suspecting much. Further, keeping the camera at chest level on a strap makes it far easier to capture the best expression as the viewfinder is your brain, not some constrained image in a pentaprism.

With that broad angle of view, it’s kind of hard to miss your subject and with the huge depth of field, focusing is not an issue.

I was maybe two feet away from this group when I snapped the picture. ImageAlign was used to remove the barrel distortion and what you see is a full frame view with no cropping.
