Curious Squirrel

GRD II, f5.6, 1/400, ISO 80, RAW 1:1, 8.4mm

Following on with my 'Fish-eye Week' was a nice walk through Greenwich Park and along the Thames to the O2. The weather was great and there were a lot of people out and about.
Using the fish-eye lens is great fun and leads me to see thigs in a different light. There a few really cool things you can only do with this lens but when I briefly comapred it with the GR lens it is unbelievable how much quality gets lost by using the adapter lens. Then again, it is not about the quality but about the fun and about seeing things different.

    She/he allowed you to get up close to take this shot. Did you bribe it with a nut?

    Not quite, I pretented to have a nut and after it got closer the squirrel got intrigued by the reflecton in the adapter lens.

    Now that's cruel teasing a poor squirl with a pretend nut. :)

    I know, pretty mean of me to tease the squirrel like that. ;)

    This is a great perspective. Kind of lomo style too.

    Thanks Wouter, I tried to give the picture a Lomo style and processed the colors and contrast different.
