What Are We Really Looking For?Better pictures, of course. The ideas that fuel them and the gear with the versatility to not only turn the ideas into images, but to inspire the ideas in the first place.Or is it different pictures that we really want? Pictures that don't just stand out—they jump out and demand attention. Shaun Jeffers has been playing with the Nikon's AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED lens to experience a new perspective at the Hobbiton Movie Set.Performance from Every AngleWell, if that's what you're looking for, we've got your lens: the AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED. That's right, a fisheye zoom. In fact, it's Nikon's first fisheye zoom. It's a lens that commercial photographer Shaun Jeffers has embraced with an enthusiasm born of the pursuit of singular images, and the desire to turn the ordinary into the startlingly different. You're going to see the world differently when looking through the finder of your full-frame Nikon DSLR with the 8-15mm lens at its 8mm focal length - a world that can be described as "the snow globe view of the world". As you zoom in from 8mm to 15mm, the circle gets wider, then more and more rectangular. A Personal TouchThis is not a lens that's going to capture what you see; it's going to see the world in a way you can't, and because of that, it's a lens that will encourage you to view a scene and then think, Okay, let's see what this looks like through the 8-15mm.Of course it's natural fit for a photographer looking to add uncommon, attention-getting views to a portfolio, but it's also natural for the photographer looking to explore unusual visual possibilities of the familiar world.As inspiring as the lens is, using it isn't a point-and-shoot process. Shaun's decisions about subjects, vantage points, framing and composing are crucial to the creativity of image making. After shooting with the lens you'll quickly realise that it's not just it's creative potential that make's it a mainstay. It's also it's built-in play, fun, and wow factors too!In case you haven't noticed, we're kind of enthusiastic about this lens.Nikon's AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED lensLEARN MORE
