Fisheye fun! - Post up!

[Daniel Buck]

I can't ever bring myself to sell my fisheye lens, in the next few weeks if I get a chance to have some free-time I'm gonna take my 15mm fish out for some fun. Unfortunatly, however, I don't believe I have actually ever used it for automotive shooting!

Post up some of your automotive fisheye pictures!



Taken with my bosses 8mm 180 degree fish:

I rarely go anywhere without it... great for some distortion!

Todd, I quite like the shot of the Wallace/Leitzinger Crawford at Long Beach.

[John Thawley]

I like the Flying Lizards paddock work area... it really shows how cool and modern these temporary work areas are.

HA! I was going to start a thread like this since I took quite a few with the fisheye this weekend! Here's a few that I took. Pardon the watermark, I'll get some proper versions up soon.

I immediately thought of this shot when he mentioned fun with fisheyes. Such an incredible shot!!

[Daniel Buck]

well, I finally got around to shooting my car with the fisheye! I must say, the mustang didn't seem to respond to pleasently to the fishyness. Just about every angle it looked very "dopey". This first shot, is the only angle I found that made it look aggressive, I think because it elongated the hood and didn't bend the angles to much. The next image is one of the 'dopey' looking images, though one of the better looking ones.

To be honest I was a little dissapointed when I was out there, I was expecting to see some interesting distortions, I'll have to give it some more time and tries, see if there are any other good angles :-)
