Macro/Wide Angle Playing

In an effort to save money in the run up to Christmas I bought some fairly cheap alternatives to wide-angle and macro lenses just to see what they're like. At first I tried out the macro on my fish. In no way are these polished, just wanted to try stuff out with them.



Lowering the aperture to f1.8 proved quite interesting, I can only guess that the depth of field was less than a millimetre! The blurriness is quite eerie, also very difficult to focus like this on moving subjects. Results below, excuse the watermarks on my tank glass on the second of these!




Aside from my fish/frog I also tried out the wide angle on my girlfriend. These are definitely too 'polished' but I kinda like them that way. I think I just need to get that heavily-vignetted style of editing wide angle shots out of my system.
