Default TESTING! TESTING!...and Mitcon is Grinnin'

Did my first attempt at bird fisheye photography today. It does not look good.
Will need to be literally inches from the bird for a viable shot, as kinda expected, or worse. If it was not for the "wild and alive birds only" rule....
The endeavour continues.

Need to get a bit closer mate I think, man that is ice in this shot (I asked about it in the other posting) really gets hard for me to imagine lakes frozen solid when I'm still here suffering sunburn lol.

I know, I was "only" 4-5 feet from the nearest swan.

Perhaps if you put the camera on a stick with a long remote trigger I think you would have it.
