Swansea Architecture – Embracing The Perspective

Today was just a recon mission for a portrait shoot later in the week, so I decided to use the time to grab some architecture using fisheye and wide angle lenses from 11mm to 24mm, with the majority of the images being at 20mm. I deliberately have not corrected perspective on these, just to beContinue reading “Swansea Architecture – Embracing The Perspective”

I really do love the lens, how it performs and how it displays colours, contrast and sharpness. It’s because I don’t always want everything to look like a fisheye. I know it’s easyContinue reading “Using the 7.5mm fisheye lens as a rectilinear wide-angle lens (with images from Laugharne Castle)”
