She sells stuffed animals
« on: January 21, 2018, 11:32:30 »
This is nothing fancy, just a friendly wink to Ron...

Btw I got a spherical fisheye at Christmas: Meike 6.5mm f/2. It is quite OK optically, or at least good enough for me, and a lot of fun to play with. It has not left my X-T1 since Dec 25th...

Good match of lens to scene.  I'm thinking of buying one of the $89.95 Meike 35/1.7 lenses for Fuji-X.

Yeah, the fisheye is addictive especially for someone who got the knack of its use.  The image suggests you should be careful.  :D

Olivier, I am impressed, as Beatrix Potter would be I am sure!  ;D

(BTW, which of the rabbits is Peter?  ;D)

Nice use of your new fish eye, as others have noted.

Thanks!
It is quite refreshing to see the world as a sphere.
This lens is supposed to have a 190 degrees angle of view, and I can certainly see slightly behind me. It is hard not to have my fingers or my feet in the picture...
I need to learn composing with this new tool, it is quite a different game.

I know you have done marvels with yours, and I have been jealous for years...

The next shot was made inside the great mosque here in Singapore. I tried to play with lines.

Kudos on efficient use of the circular fisheye, Olivier :D

You do have a very slight tendency to tilt the camera/lens to the right, though. This is apparent in both examples. Should be easy to rotate the image a few degrees counter-clockwise in the post processing stage, though,

Marvelous images, Olivier!

I also have tendency to tilt the frame to the right.  But what is nice about the circular fisheye is that you don't need to worry about the inevitable but unwanted trimming when you rotate the image to correct it.  :)  (In my case, the level displayed on the screen solved the problem.)

Thank you.
Yes, I know, most of my images are tilted to the right... And by an average of 1.5 degrees, not a small value. This is something i have ended up accepting and correcting in post processing as I can't seem to get it right in camera. These two images were not corrected though.
I guess this explains why I like the movie "The Brain" so much...
