First off, to all who say that a fisheye lens is a worthless, one-trick pony….
Yeah, so what? That one trick is pretty damn cool, and if you take the time to look for an appropriate shot, you get some very nice results.

This was captured Oct. 4 2009 just before 9:00 PM on-board the Carnival Conquest somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico just a few hours from the Texas coast. We departed from Galveston Island at roughly 4:00 PM the same day, and this was the view on our first night “at sea”.

This building is located at 3000 Crawford just Southeast of downtown Houston, and is fairly popular with area photographers. I couldn’t let everyone else have all the fun. I went a little nuts in Lightroom with the colors on some of these.

Unfortunately, but understandably, photography isn’t allowed during the actual tour. I managed to get some shots of the one item outside that wasn’t surrounded by people.

Got a quick shot of my family while we were there.
