Guitar Hero

Nicole is oh so musical. She plays the trumpet, piano, and more recently has picked up the guitar. Her rendition of Poison's "Every Rose has its Thorn" will bring you to tears.
While we were shooting, some random guy came up to us and asked if we were shooting for an album cover. Well, we weren't, but some day, Nicole, some day...

Hey TJ!
Again, very nice stuff. I like how you find very simple yet effective textures for the backgrounds to compliment your shots. And was that 2nd shot done with an actual fisheye lens, or what that some photoshop magic, or what that just the real wide angle range of your zoom?! Neat anywho. I agree with you that the last shot is my fave! Good stuff!

Thanks everyone!
To answer your question, Justin, it's no fancy lens. I used an action by "totally rad actions" called POS Lens. Basically it distorts and vignettes, giving the effect of a crappy lens. But now that you mention it, it does look like a fisheye! cool.
