Grauman’s Chinese Theater Courtyard – David Punch
On my last trip, I used Kingdom Camera Rentals to rent a Canon 8-15mm fisheye lens. I tried it at each of the parks and got some pretty strange results. The warping is tough to get use to, but fun to experiment with. Since the Chinese Theater is so close to the hat, I knew I wanted to try and “fit it all in” with this lens. On this shot, It was getting dark so I tried a long exposure shot from a tripod. 30 seconds at f/18, ISO 125. I was happy to see that the wind was low and didn’t affect the palm trees. Since it was a rental lens, I was excited to see the sharpness and the detail in the building.
