Crazy Fisheye madness
 

Borrowed a fisheye for a lunchtime at work, very nice indeed it was , you wouldnt beleive how close i had to get for some of these shots, stuck the car in a puddle for some fancy shots and had to have the elbows in the puddle !

Hi Jimmy
I used to be into mountainbiking and all the shots were like this(in the mags), try takin a piccy of a car in mid flight over a double it looks like the gap is massive you might have to experiment a little but when you get it right it looks f--kin good m8.

aye, that would be nice.. sadly this lens is borrowed and he does magazine stuff / setting up his own magazine, so uses it all the time. Do fancy getting one though some time, they are really expensive so might be a while.
good job it has a little lens hood on it, i bumped it into the car a couple of times trying to get closer!

Jimmy.

Not sure what were looking at here. Just looks like you've not followed the instructions when assembling Vicky's car ?

Or has she pranged it already, wrapped it around the odd lampost perhaps ?

Seriously though, can't you by a fisheye 'add-on' lens for cheap money, one that attatched to your standard lens ? Fancy one of them myself I do.

you can get wide angle adaptors, but not sure you can get a true fisheye ?? i guess you cant get the same quality as this lens anyway, very nice it is, i think all proper fisheyes are quite expensive.

Them pictures look gurt mint Jimmy, you need to get a fishy lens!

Also your 'birds' car is looking ace... I mean your wife's car!

lets hope mrs o0ple dont see your post bathy :wink: :D

best watch it bathy, she might be kicking your ass next year with it ! haha.. ok, i doubt it... :safe:

the fisheye would be nice for taking track photos, lot easier than photo stitching anyway

Hmm I think she will! As long as there's no Twister to distract her...

I'll be ok... Mrs oOple would have to buy me a 2wd car before being able to kick my arse :wink:

Anyway this thread is meant to be about fishy eyed lens things!

A fish eye is one lense I've always wanted to play with.
