Birding with a fisheye

[K1W1]

Nikkor 10.5mm. Why do people invest in long telephotos for birding?

[Isac]

Has a different look to it with the fisheye. Very sharp as well. I use a long lens for birding because most of my shots are taken in gum trees which are 40 metres high and the birds are very shy in front of cameras. I wonder if you can take photos of fish with a birdseye lens?

Wouldn`t a Birdseye lens have a near 180 degree POV ,Raptor view excepted.

I do like the idea of a birdseye lens for fish - let me put an order in for 1/2-dozen, one for each day of the week!

ps- the pic ain't bad either

Most of our birds aren`t tame or pets,interesting effect though.

This bird is neither tame nor a pet. 100% wild. The Kookaburras around here have no fear of humans and this guy had already stolen some meat off my wifes plate as we sat at the table outside eating dinner despite both of us giving him light taps on the beak with our fingers to discourage him.

[Isac]

I'm glad you only tapped his beak K1W1, as opposed to this low life HERE
