It's a daffodil or narcissus. In German it's also called an Easter bell ("Osterglocke").

Very inspiring, Michael, as always. Beautiful black and whites, great ideas like flashing the snow in the sky and I´m still laughing about "Prost". Can't wait to see more.

Very nice, Dez! I like the first one. Great perspective. What time of day was it?

Beautiful shots, Jim. Love the prospect of you sharing your shots til July.

My best hopes and wishes for Ines and your family.

You know, you really should be posting a lot more ;-)

Very nice shots, Glen. #8 is my favorite favorite.

Happy Birthday, Nikon Cafe and thanks to all for making this such a great place.

Can't get enough of those! Love the Woolworth. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations for the wonderful shot and for being selected.

It's really all been said. But not by everyone ;-) Magnificent work, Dez. Thank you very much for showing your shots of New York. Can't wait to see this year's captures - no matter what camera you'll use. Happy New Year.

I decided to get the fisheye after looking at Edward's and Ruy's photos. They've both prooven that it's a very useful ultra wide angle lens. And of course, it's also a lot of fun. I tried to do the July One Prime Challenge with it last year (link in signature). Here's a choice of those: The...

Since 1997: Powerbook 1400c, Powerbook G3 "Pismo", Powerbook G4, iMac 20", iPhone 3GS.

Now that you made me try it I found a slight clicking when moving it back and forth. Hadn't noticed it during a month of shooting on the July One Prime challenge.

Sorry, David and Aaron, to be late for the wrap-up which I think is a very good idea. David, I'm a bit surprised about your first choice, but would love to hear what made you choose it. Personally I really liked the your second pick plus the one from July 28, the chimneys against the blue sky...

Thanks, David, for taking the initiative for this challange and also for sharing your photos with us. I especially like your eye for details in combination with great colors - as in the shot from July 28, the chimneys or the staircase in the green.

It's been great to follow your July challenge, Aaron. Great variety of beautiful shots, very nice color, but also excellent black and whites. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it's over... Thanks everybody for looking and commenting. I didn't nearly find the time I had wanted to shoot with the fisheye. So I didn't learn as much as I had wanted and I posted two photos less than planned. I've found some subjects to be very well suited for this lens - like...

Day 29 Today's weather made me post one of yesterdays shots.

Day 28

Thanks for commenting, Mark, Aaron and Alex.

Sounds like an interesting combination. Why don't you post an image of it?

Great way of handling the 35mm. I really need to get one. Of the last ones I especially like #1 from July 25.

I like the frog, too. Nice job.

I've missed some great shots, Aaron. Really like your colors, but also the wonderful mood of the black and white restaurant - and of course the goat with an attitude.

I like the last two, but I think #2 and #3 of July 25 are your best so far.

Day 27 The squares around the cathedral are quite impressive - so is what the Fisheye-Hemi plugin does in some situations. I know my post processing isn't. :rolleyes: 1/800s, f/8, ISO 200, corrected with Fisheye-Hemi and pp'ed to death in Aperture and Photoshop. Thanks for looking.

Day 24 This should've been posted on Friday. Anyone tired of this staircase yet? 1/40s, f/3.5, ISO 800. Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, David. I'd love to see what you'd do with it.

Very nice shots, Mark. I especially like the minimalism of day 20 and numbers 1 and 4 from day 22.

I like 21 and the color and sharpness in 22. Nice work.

The last one might just be the photo of summer 2009 over here as well. Get's old doesn't it?

Day 22 Just kidding. 1/8s, f/8, ISO 1600.

Day 21 Not easy to fish at home. 1/320s, f/2.8, ISO 200.

Day 20 The founder of the University of Santiago de Compostela: 1/60s, f/4, ISO 200, defished with the fisheye hemi-plugin for Aperture. Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Aaron. I feel like I'm running out of time.

Congratulations on your daughter's birthday, Mark. And also on the last two shots which I like a lot. What exactly is it that we see in the last one?

Of the last photos I really like Day 16. I had registered for the photowalk last year, but couldn't go. It was around the lighthouse in La Coruña (Torre de Hercules) which has just been named world heritage.

Like the last one. Our summer stinks as well.

Day 17 This staircase is saving my challenge. 1/40s, f/4.5, ISO 800. Thanks for looking.

Day 16 Catching up. 1/500s, f/8, ISO 200 Thanks for looking.

It is quite an unusual staircase. I'll post more of it. The most challenging thing right now is to find enough time to go "fishing". :smile: Seriously, I find it very hard to previsualize shots in my head. It's not only the angle that I can't foresee it's also the distortion that changes...

Thanks for the kind words, Tony. Thank you, too, Aaron. Glad you think so.

Day 15 Still not feeling well today. But obviously it wasn't the swine flew. Hope to take the camera out tomorrow. For now here's another one from that tripple staircase: 1/30s, f/2.8, ISO 800. Yes that's my shirt in the lower left. At 10.5mm it's sometimes hard to avoid becoming part of the...

Wonderful! What an impressive atmosphere. Like the crop, too.

Like the Nikon bug, too.

Day 14 Sorry, no shooting today either. :Sick: So here goes the last of the first shots I announced. Exposure was way off, tried to save it in Aperture. The purple fringing can get pretty obvious. I have to find out how to control that.

Hope that's related to my photos. :smile: Thanks, Aaron. We're not even half way through and so far I don't feel I know the fisheye well at all.

Very good job on day 12!
