Stopping by the ROADSIDE for Fisheye Friday

Between the ROADSIDE and a tributary of the St John’s River was a concrete abutment with a crack and small hole near the bottom. Silly little things like this seem to attract my attention all the time. Knowing the shot wasn’t exactly earth moving I went into the Menu on my Nikon D3100 selected: Retouch, Filter, Fisheye and added a little fisheye pizazz in order to put another hatch mark on this poor tattered well traveled theme list I am working on.

I see a homeless gentleman in wrinkled trousers and tattered coat about to sit down on a curved bench.

I applaud you for continuing with the Fisheye Friday. I haven’t really touched my DSLR in a month and a half, so I appreciate having some fish on Fridays!

  Thanks Steven, I thought someone should pay homage to the tradition. Looking forward to seeing some fish from you soon.

I wondered why your comments were suddenly showing up in my blog spam folder…now I know. Interesting that you have a fisheye setting mode on your camera.

  The fisheye setting was a total surprise! Thought I’d have to go buy a lens to have that option with photos. I’m a lucky girl.
  Thanks for checking your spam.

If you look at it side-on there is a face with one eye open (ie the small hole).

I see Ill. too, sort of grabbing a bit of western Wisconsin. The best thing about a challenge like this is to get sidetracked by any roadside attraction. Nice of you to jump into to fisheye Friday. A real one is fun…
