Description
The user manual to life is a book full of things that life proves to be wrong. No matter what you write in it, life shows you that you know nothing. Actually, the manual should say just one thing - The truth waits for you at the end of the road, when you know what you have seen to be true for you, and even that is false.

The lens is canon 15mm Fisheye F2.8

I use a full frame sensor camera, the 5D. It has the same wide effect as film cameras

Excellent concept. The fisheye makes us feel almost omniscient: we're both looking down and looking ahead.

Ah, I've missed checking out the pictures this fellow here takes.

Nice shot. Awesome perspective. I'm liking the sort of fish-eyed way everything seems to bulge; it makes it feel like that road goes all the way around the world. . .

awesomeeee. very supa cool. You know what would be cool aswell is if you would put the sitter on a skateboard(which is hidden) and make him a bit motion blurred, to show him moving towards the end of the road. just something..... use it, don't use it.
but still like this is absoutly awesome aswell

TaliN07 [2007-04-13 22:14:52 +0000 UTC]

I like the composition - how it leads the viewer into the photo, through the road. And you don't know where this road leads to, you must walk through it to find out what's up there.
I think that perhaps I'd like it better, if the man sitting there [is that you?] would have walked. Ah now I read your description and I'm not so sure about it anymore, so nevermind

And after all that digging..

Wow, peace and stress together in one pic. What I mean is that the men is sitting and reading a book, having relaxing time but the fact is that he is on the street and a car can come every now and then and disdurb the peace
Thats an awesome shot. Love it
