Banzai_san: it's a FULL manual lens

so u have to set the aperture urself(*edit: turning the aperture ring dail urself, it do not connect to the camera, so the camera exif will always show F1), shutter speed urself, and manual focus.
it is not difficult once u catch the idea... and thanks to albnok during april's gathering, he poison and taught me bout his peleng fisheye that i learned to much.
it doesnt not look clean because of the hall is lowlight, high ceiling(bad for flash), and i am force to use F3.5 (the fullsize photo are not sharp) and shutter speed of 1/10 (some photo i did not fire flash, like photo #1 and #2, prone to shakes) sometimes, i forgot to refocus(from infinite to 1 meter) before shutter release or vice versa.
it will be sharp after F8, really sharp (see below photo for naruto)
for the exposure, well, as i mention, 8mm is super godly wide, the flash head is design to fire at 16mm(FF format) widest at direct with wide panel flipped out. do the maths and u will know that the flash will unable to brighten up the whole photo

. but as long as the subject is properly lit, it pass. there are ways method to lit up the whole area... that is more to flash knowledge
later i write up a little details bout how to use fish eye...
Uzumaki NaruTo: self portrait
likito: common shooting sytle of landscape is to have the horinzontal dead center. it's not wrong, but not really impressive way, because, it's too common. push ur head/idea further by shooting at low angle, 1/3sea 2/3 sky (for wider sky if the cloud are nice, or sunset color), or 2/3sea 1/3sky(if there is something interesting on the sea)
u have interesting subject and landscape, too bad u shot too dead center, else it will be even more impressive!
