This brings you back to the classic photography work that appreciates bigger changes in every slight movement of the camera. This type of lens, hence, would bring you to truly appreciate the composition work. Totally different meaning and hero to the composition. The second shot is in closer proximity of about 10cm away. First shot below, was taken only a foot away from the tyre (some 30cm) and it shows context of the landscape. Take a look at the environmental shots I took below with the wonderful Tokina SZ 8mm F2.8 E FISH-EYE. The closer you come to an object – the more intense the effect is, composition-wise. The twisting of the perspective – the exaggeratedly curved lines boost to the beholder a truly distorted reality that otherwise is very hard to perceive. For instance, scenes that mimic either flying bugs' perspective, first body's point-of-view of a dizzy/drugged person, a chase by Zombies, or twisted minds of a killer in horror movies all of those and other twisted reality views can be easily done here. The benefit of using such lenses could also be seen in video scenes should videographers want to apply some psychedelic taste to the frame. Video applications that fish-eye lenses can work very well Other example of street photography artwork you can find at the end of this article. Wide lenses are usually focusing in shorter minimal distances than their telephoto counterparts, but those fisheyes are exceedingly mastering it, with the shortest one of only 9cm from the object (Tokina SZ 8mm f/2.8 E Fish-Eye).Īs seen in the following pair of photos, the ornament bird on the right-hand-side of the shot was only 11 centimetres away (where the first frame is off-camera the second image is the very same one but after lens-correction and cropping for composition). Tokina's fisheye lenses can have very short minimal focus distance. Their premises are beautiful, and boutique-styled, and I invite both local and international tourists to enjoy a lovely evening in this location and the lovely township of Matakana! Minimal focus distance Just a small word I thank Matakana Cinemas for the cooperation in this article.

Without the fall-off, the effect was so small, if not non-existent! I exploited the full pixel-count of the sensor in order to retain the best detailed image.

That helps to focus the beholder's eye searching in rounds. The black fall-off of the edges was intentionally kept in the final composition as it is going so well with the leading curved lines of the ceiling sound-proofing wooden frames. The above artwork of mine was intentionally done with a fish-eye lens on a full frame camera sensor (Tokina AT-X 107 DX Fish-Eye on Nikon F-mount).
