    Hello! It's been a while since I released a video with a playlist, but today is the day! Here's some of my favorite *fish themed* songs: open.spotify.com/playlist/0b3ZYuyvizQFCqsutwBg9u?si=VSB4J3g2Qji1qQE1a_VcaA

      The real question is, what is the message he is trying to convey with the image? Do celebrities really want to desperately convey the idea that they are adrogynous. Why do celebrities insist on creating lies, chaos, confusion to their viewers/fans? What is the purpose of their existence? These celebrities are 100% serving lies and enjoy feeding these lies to their fan base.

      They probably play a bigger role in selling albums, but that is diminishing as more people consume music digitally. Nowadays you could probably look at album artwork as helping to establish the artists brand, I guess, although that was probably always the case as well.

    So amazing to see the rich history of the fisheye lens, which even today help us capture the world in 360 and 180 degrees for that signature action camera perspective, virtual reality video (some examples on my channel), 3D mapping and reconstruction, remote sensing and lest we forget - the wide angle selfie 🤳 :-)

    Nice video!
    A few years ago I’ve bought a Minolta MD Rokkor 24-50-x not a fisheye-lens but 24 is a pretty good wide angle.
    First it was just a experiment to see what it would be like to shoot in such a low focal length but this lens became my working horse.
    It totally changed my style of photography.
    Today’s understand why these lenses go for over 250€ an they’re totally worth it!
