I have a new toy! Samyang 12mm 2.8 Fish Eye

I bought it to have some fun with Landscapes/Architecture/Astro.
The Milky Way is Always so high from 12S that i thought a fish eye might help composition. I’m not very good at mosaics, and even my Sigma 14 1.8, sometimes isn’t wide enough.

Anyway, just a single exposure, 8s ISO3200. Bottle 5 so there was quite a bit of light pollution which i processed in Lightroom. I like the ethereal effect of the luminance noise reduction slider! I might have been heavy handed with it.

Oh and what’s up with Jupiter? It was like that in the Raw image.

Thanks for looking.

I thought my 14mm was wide but that is super wide. Good shot including the building. I have a few of those. Maybe stopping down a little would straighten out the bright objects at the edge.

Thanks Marc and Ray,

I’ll try stopping down. It’s odd that it seems to be just Jupiter.
Agree it’s whaky wide! Takes getting used to, for composition and stray objects.
It’s a reasonably priced lens (bought recently from US unfortunately, as my sigma 14 1.8 developed a fault and is back in Japan taking exceedingly long to get fixed)

CS!
