yes it is! When you close the aperature of the lens, lights become more like stars almost... giving this effect

You snapped on that little circular thing on the outside of the lens that lets you curve the corners, eh? Did I guess right?

But aside from that, very good work on the lights as well. What is that, it looks as if it's a filter.

trailstar In reply to datpixelykid [2005-12-14 00:39:08 +0000 UTC]

nope, just the effect that a long exposure has.

I used my fisheye! not some filter!

antediluvian-deviant [2005-12-12 06:39:54 +0000 UTC]

very well crafted image.....really very beautiful.....my only reservation is the rather harsh vignetting on the corners at the top but i love this pic don't get me wrong......i agree with one of the comments i read while scrolling down...this is definitely one of your best ever.......congrats mate!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

trailstar In reply to antediluvian-deviant [2005-12-12 16:45:43 +0000 UTC]

the vignetting is due to it being a fisheye lens. I burnt the corners a little so that it brings your eye to the centre more.

Thanks for the comment

this is you best shot ever i think (IMO) I acutally love this. FANTASHTICK. The tree seems so oblivious to whats going on around it (thats if it was human LOL) and then all the cars and stuff making it busy add that unique touch SUWEET.
