New Camera

Last week, James got a present in the mail! It was a shiny new Canon 6D, sent lovingly to him from himself. He also ordered a new lens which arrived shortly after. Even to a non-photographer (me) it looks pretty awesome! The other day, we were both looking at it and then at the same time said, "It looks so cool." That's because now that we're married, we can actually read each other's minds and communicate in telepathy to be able to say the exact same thing at the same time. So if we ever seem like we're not talking to each other, we actually are, in our minds.

So apparently this lens is not a fisheye, but it does look like a bubble. It's actually a rectilinear lens, which is a wide angle lens that distorts at the edges of the pictures, but unlike a fisheye it doesn't make it look curved. Instead it makes it look stretched. Here is the lens:

Hello, Dave. You're looking well today.

And here is a photo of the new camera. How did we take this picture, you ask?! It's such a mystery! But magicians never reveal their secrets.

Don't mind that apparatus on the top. 

Here are some cool pictures James took with the new lens! James and his magical photography.

 

Not with the special lens, but I liked it anyway:

"The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal--, a mindbogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you."
