We just finished painting the interior of our home and I took a few pictures to chronicle this make-over. What struck me when I first starting reviewing my shots is that they were boring....pictures of walls and painting tools OR pictures of plastic over the furniture stacked in the middle of the room during the painting process.
So, I decided to stretch a bit and use a totally different lens, my Fisheye 8 to 15, and see what I could come up with.
The first shot was showing the painter's work from the perspective of standing in my kitchen and taking an action shot while they worked. I rather liked the circular look of this, how the fisheye bent the upper portion of the picture and the windows provided a semi-circular aspect as well.

Now, I am stepping into various parts of my home. I intended to show my legs and feet, which oftentimes is the bane of using a Fisheye. I also went into Nik filters and used the Polaroid look for the first shot. I rather liked the look, but discovered that my feet and legs in the foreground were not obvious....

So, this shot has more of an obvious stepping into the room ...I like how the room bends as I stepped in, with just a little bit of my feet and legs to show my presence . (This shot was not post-processed using Nik's Polaroid filter)

Lessons Learned:
So, in the spirit of having some "typical" shots, here is a shot of our cat, Mittsey, getting into the painting action.
