My husband surprised me with an early Christmas gift - a fisheye lens.
Even more, he insisted I not wait until Christmas to give it a try.
- yeah moi! -
Here's the thing though ... for the life of me,
I can not figure out what I need to do to take this ultra-wide fisheye and get that fishy look.
From what I've read, it involves how you frame the subject -
I don't know ... but I will keep trying.
...
If any of you have experience or thoughts in this department
- any suggestions or directions would be most appreciated.
[this is a 14 mm]
muchas gracias!
I wish I could help ya out Nicki...it's going to be fun watching you play and learn!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a fish eye but how exciting on the present and I hope you enjoy it!!!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know but I will guess :) Go close to something big and shoot it! Like the trees in your picture... go close to one of them and then shoot. The reason I am guessing this is because I shoot with a Canon 10-22 and if I get too close or angle the lens up or down too much it will make it look .... fishy... I maybe totally wrong but since no one had a answer.... guess it won't hurt to guess :)
ReplyDeleteI believe you are right - I am so used to standing back to get more in my picture - I just have to retrain myself. Thanks.
