A big thanks to Art Robertson for his presentation
of Fun with Fisheyes for our March
meeting. In his power point he included both pros and cons for using a fisheye
lens with lots of photo examples. A fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens with a
field of vision covering up to 180 degrees, the scale being reduced toward the edges. The fisheye can be used for artistic effects such as:
-
manipulating the relative size of objects to make them stand out or appear
smaller,
-manipulating spaces to make them seem
expansive,
-providing
an unusual point of view,
-capturing
broad vistas and big objects,
-providing
the ability to shoot in small spaces.
Art
suggests being aware of extraneous clutter that may be enhanced with a fisheye
lens.
During
our meeting members also helped critique one another's images considering clarity
of focus, unnecessary extraneous objects, lighting and exposure, white balance,
emotional response or interest, and general suggestions for creating a better
image.
Pictured is an example of a fisheye image featuring Art and his big feet.
