Free Fisheye
Passerby must have thought there was something fishy about a guy bending over to photograph a "Push To Cross" button, but all I was doing is getting a free fisheye foto.I found this almost-pristine, unscratched chromed button while walking on the south side of Pratt Street the other day - I usually head to work on the north side. Passing by, I noticed that the Baltimore World Trade Center building was mirrored nicely in the button. I've done a little of this kind of photography before, but I think this photo combines a nicer composition with that morning's beautiful sky and clouds to make for a better image.

Very nice, Steve! When I first saw this picture, I immediately thought of the other shots that you did previously. You should have made a self portrait out of this by peeking around the side of the camera. :)
The sky color with the contrasting clouds looks very nice.

p.s. I really like the shadow of you, it's kind of whimsical and mischevious.
Thanks, Warren, - I just couldn't see to get a good angle with me peeking out behind the camera - I'll try it again, though.
See my "self-portrait" ;-) in my latest post, though.
Cool shot. Reminds me of the beginning of the old Hawaii 5-0 series when the jet flies over. It was filmed with a fisheye lens.
