More fisheye fun at Pike Place. I did buy a bundle of the flowers to surprise my wife, and they were a real bargain. Biggest problem was finding a vase to put them in, which I finally did a few shops further along.
I'm still learning how to use my fisheye lens. Focusing is a real trick. It might help if it were auto-focus and/or my eyes were better.
this is one of dazesfriends called Sam(thanks daze) he was really good at the whole gymnastics thing he keptdoing amaizing things that completely defy gravity. cant wait to be able to process raw to get the pics i took on dazecoops camera
If your insect subject is as docile and content as this one, then you can do a "macro" shot with a fisheye lens. :)
Stuart tries the classic facial distortion of the one-eyed peer at a fisheye lens. This is the Samyang 8mm (nominal) frame filling fisheye, i.e. the 180 degree circle of view is the exscribed circle of the image sensor rectangle.
Note that despite the exaggerated vertical convergence of people's stances, their physical shape is not stretched towards the edges in the way that a linear perspective wide angle lens does. A linear lens preserves the straightness of lines, which we tend to consider more realistic when photographing classic architectural interiors and exteriors. But it stretches shapes wider towards the edges of images. Whereas a fisheye instead tends to preserve the proportions of volumes, so people near the edges of the image look more natural than with wide linear lenses.
