I took my fisheye with me, and I did well. Even if I shot for the 70-75% of the time with the wideangle (the 8-16 zoom allowed me more versatility), in locations where I stayed more time I switched also to the fisheye.
This pagode has 6 levels if I don't remember bad, and the stairs from each level to the superior one are narrow and narrower. I think I took this shot from the last one ;)
Thanks to my friend Mento who went there one month before me and was so kind to advise me to go to this location!
This shot have been processed with Machinery HDR software, which I used also for the toning.

It's funny how you can alter perception with photography. This was shot from 44m height with a short focal lens (8mm wideangle). Let's play a game, do you manage to find:
- the woman
- the stairs
- the fish (quite big indeed!!)
- the shadows projected (3)
this is where I took yesterday's shot :))

this is where I took yesterday's shot :))
I used all the 8mm of my wideangle to create a strong composition, I think the leading curve is very strong ;)
