Each to there own, a few fish eye shots are nice but it's more than over done and a bit cliche.
HDR can't make a bad photo good and it can certainly ruin an otherwise good photo. I like to increase my dynamic range in post processing by boosting shadows and dropping the highlights.. looks much more pleasing and natural
I tend to shoot with my samyang 14mm f2.8 ultra wide angle lens on my 5d. It's a wicked lens as it has next to no barrel distortion considering its really wide!
Fantastic, and its nice to see how the work on the building is going...they certainly haven't done so much to it yet.!!! I'm very amazed at the table in the basement, wonder what it was used for.!!!!
