The Samyang fisheye looks pretty fun and effective.
I got to put it in my 'Buy' queue.

Yeah! I was skeptical as i seen how people use it for any scene and every scene. But i am impressed with the image and build quality of this little gem. $380 from artworkfoto, its really one of the few lenses u can get at this price for such quality!

St Francis Xavier died off the coast of China and his body was buried in Malacca for six months before going on to its final resting place in Goa, India. In 1614, the Pope requested the right arm of Saint to be severed from his corpse and sent to Rome. Blood was said to have gushed out of the arm even though he had been dead for 62 years. Immediately after Fr Francsi Xavier was canonised a Saint in 1622 what remain of the right arm in Rome was merely skeleton. But the body in Goa remains incorrupt minus the right arm. In 1952 the Bishop of Macau decided to put up a statue in front of the St Paul's Church. A carars marble statue was ordered from Italy and was sculptured by the famous Italian sculpture, G.Toni and was ready for the forth centenary celebrations on the 22 March 1953. One quiet night a huge tree fell, burying the statue. On clearing the branches, the statue was found to be intact except for the right arm which had broken off. This is yet another miracle of St. Francis Xavier to show that his incorrupt body in Goa today is without the right hand. Until today visitor toSt Paul's hill can still witness this phenomenon with the statue standing without the right hand.

Its a bit of a thread for those busy fathers/mothers who can't find the dedication/time to do up a dedicated landscape thread and encourage them (like me) to shoot and post.
Do feel free to post your landscapes there.

This got to be the luckiest couple around.
We have been under the effect of the haze for the past week and it was still so at midday (200+psi).
But when their wedding ceremony started at about 2pm, the skies miraculously cleared up.
The groom did come prepared though, bringing a full entourage of Javanese performers and mediums that performed into the night. (interesting sight too)

I happened to chance on their wedding late in the day when I brought my children out to get some fresh air and sunshine after the dreary week.
Asked the couple for a shot and they were happy to do so.

Sorry, best man, I had to leave you out of the DOF
