I made a thread a few weeks ago asking about the Tokina 10-17 fisheye lens. I ended up buying it, and today was my first real day shooting with it. Let me tell you, I am very happy with my decision. Here is one of the better shots from today:

So that this thread isn't completely useless, any tips for shooting with a fisheye lens? This is my first fisheye, so obviously I'm pretty inexperienced with it. Any critiquing would be much appreciated too.

(BTW, the photo is completely unedited, I don't really see what I'd do with it as the colours turned out exactly how I wanted them.)

Stoked! I'm saving up for the same lens right now too! Excited to get a hold of it. How much did you end up paying?

I like it alot, its not some stereotypical fisheye shots that are in your face and super distorted, i really like the composition ALOT.

Nope, zero editing done to the shot. It's just the way the lighting was at the time. And thanks heath!
