Fisheye lenses are great for cathedral interiors.
Salisbury Cathedral, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.
Day 55/365 - February 24, 2009
OK, so I didn't take this picture today, but I did pick up the negatives and scanned files today from my Lomography Fisheye camera. Yes, I actually had film processed. My cheap plastic film cameras are fun. Don't you remember the joy and surprise of looking through your pictures when you pick them up!
Always wanted one of these 180 degree fisheye attachments, but I never felt like paying the hundred bucks or so to find out if they were any good. At $10 on eBay it gets a lot easier. The quality isn't terrific, but it has its own internal diaphragm you can stop down to improve it, and shooting in black & white makes the color fringing disappear. And it really DOES cover a full 180 degrees (this was shot from the driver's seat, with the car running and in gear and my left foot on the clutch).
To get the full circle on a 15x22 DSLR you need about a 35mm prime lens to put it on - 28mm makes the circle pretty small, and it doesn't like zooms. And, wouldn't you know it, out of all this there isn't a single 35mm lens that I can adapt it to! I guess I know what I have to go look for next.....
I don't think I'm ever going to get rid of this mirror. And so, in the mean time; I'll continue to take self portraits and travel with it.
An HDR fisheye taken of the 'Golden Turd', or Asahi Dry Brewery building. This was from a single JPG image from a Nikon 950 back in 2002.
My mom got me this guy for Christmas. My dad sells the real-sized ones (among other things).. so cute!
So I got this Sigma Fisheye a month or so ago.....Check out how sharp it is considering it's about 50% crop
