About
I thought it might be interesting to show you the characteristics of full-frame equi-angular fisheye images. I deliberately got most of the perspective lines to go for the center of the image--and you'll note they are all perfectly straight. But look at the lines that should be parallel with the edges of the frame--they're all curved (the tree, the edge of the yellow board with the red character on it, and the paving stones. The Class A war criminals are enshrined just the other side of that wall, by the way.
Thanks for the explanation, Todd. Glad you liked this one. I'm sad when my own personal favourites get largely ignored by the Usefilm crowd. (This is one.) I was pleased to have used the fisheye lens so effectively and without the gimmicky look that is so boring.
another fine shot Roger...again, the composition is what really turns me on to this. though it's a 'very conventional photograph' again, it has a beautifully balanced, and well thought out compo. the frame seems to be cut into pieces like a pizza.
as for your comments on my 'across the universe.' what it is: just an everyday shot from the dock across the bay, inverted, and contrast increased a bit. title just taken from The Beatles song...
Super shot, Roger, I really like this one! What I find fascinating, (apart from the excellent composition and perfect exposure), is the fact that the vertical lines on the brown board, (forgetting the curved one for a moment), seem to begin by leaning to the right and slowly veer towards the left! Nice one! Best regards, Chris
