Four ways to play fisheye lens

Lead: fisheye lens is usually considered as a kind of? Non-professional? Whether it is a professional landscape photographer or a city photographer, the lens is not used much, because the fisheye lens has a very exaggerated perspective distortion effect, so in many people's eyes, the fisheye lens is just a gimmick and can't shoot professional works. Let's take a look at four ways to play the fisheye lens.

First, make good use of distortion.

In many cases, distortion will have a great impact on a work, but there is no serious problem with distortion. The distortion of the fisheye lens can also be turned into its own advantage. For example, in the photo below, because of the distortion, the lines formed by the traffic flow are distorted, which leads to the reader's vision extending far away.

At the same time, the camera is not parallel to the ground when shooting, so it can be clearly seen that the end of the building is curved.

Second, create a circle.

The above photography subjects are mainly straight lines, and sometimes we will shoot some circular or arc scenes, such as circular stairs and intersections, so the distortion caused by the lens will not be particularly obvious at this time, but the super wide angle of fisheye can bring different perspectives. On the circular horizon at the top of the photo, the downward circular building is surrounded by the central theme.

Third, learn to shoot up.

If you are in a building complex, the best way to reflect the architectural features is to shoot with a fisheye lens. Under the display of ultra-wide field of vision, the building is surrounded by an arc, and no one will even notice that it was shot with a fisheye lens. Photos from this perspective are not uncommon for everyone.

Fourth, emergency ultra-wide angle.

What I said before is how to use distortion. When the camera shooting direction is parallel to the ground, the distortion of the surrounding buildings is relatively reduced to the lightest. If you just want to take a wide-angle photo without a wide-angle lens, you can also use the later software to correct the fisheye photo. Although it is impossible to completely simulate the imaging of ultra-wide-angle lens, it is still possible to rescue it.
