first flash and fisheye photo session+evaluation

in these photos I'm showing how my first fisheye and mounted flash session went. 

in the first two photos I've gone for action shots and in the second two I've gone for lifestyle photos. 

right the first thing i noticed when using the mounted flash is that you had to be near on perfectly right with time otherwise the flash that I've got wouldn't react as well. another problem i came cross was that i had to mess about with the setting on my flash so that i had the right amount of power for the conditions i was in. this was solved by simply taking multiple test photos in this room to make sure the flash and iso complimented each other well and didn't over expose the subject. however, the main problem and struggle i came across was the focus on the fish eye and to be honest i still don't really have much idea on how to focus it properly or how cows you have to be for it to have maximum affect. as you can tell in the first photo i had no idea on how to focus it and its blurry. in the second photo its slightly more focused but nothing to be really proud of. personally, i think that a good research session on reviews of my lens and how to use my lens to its full potential would be idea and can only help me at this point.

 1/200s, 1600 ISO

these are the lifestyle photos. in these i did my primary tests where i wanted to see how the flash reacted in this room. however, in these tested i didn't really know how awkward the focal range was. the first photo in these two is my personal favourite because its well exposed and captures the mood perfectly. the second one however, is slightly over exposed and some facial features are lost by how bright the photo is. you can probably tell by the settings that i was still playing about at this point.

the first photo of the two was the decider in what settings i used for the action photos above.  

 1/200s, 3200 ISO

1/125s, 6400 ISO

to conclude, i think that the photos i took where much better than i expected and only practice with make this process less awkward. i also need to research more into the functions and possibilities of my lens.
