What are the photography skills of fisheye lens?

As we all know, the shorter the focal length, the larger the viewing angle and the stronger the deformation caused by the optical principle. In order to realize the super-large viewing angle of 180 degrees, the designers of fisheye lenses have to make sacrifices, that is, to allow this deformation (barrel distortion) to exist reasonably. The biggest function of fisheye lens is its wide viewing angle, which can generally reach 220 or 230, creating conditions for shooting large-scale scenes at close range.

Below, let's learn how to use fisheye lens to explore more interesting images.

1, radiation blur

It is not easy for you to take good photos in crowded places, such as dances. There are many people and the light is dim, but if you hold up the camera, slow down the shutter to 1/25 seconds, and shake the camera 90 degrees with your left hand when shooting, you will get an explosion picture, and the effect is very eye-catching!

Step 2 exaggerate the horizon

When using fisheye glasses, the closer to the edge, the more distorted the image. You can try to put the horizon/horizontal line on the edge of the picture to get an exaggerated circular effect, and of course, you should pay attention to putting your feet in.

3, shooting super wide-angle effect without fisheye deformation.

As long as you ensure that the horizontal line is placed in the middle and there are no upright scenes on both sides, such as trees and lampposts, fisheye glasses can act as a powerful super wide-angle lens, taking all the scenes you see into the picture!

Step 4 shoot the whole smallpox

Dome smallpox is quite common in modern buildings, such as stadiums, theaters, palaces and so on. These magnificent, complex and spectacular architectural structures can be photographed with fisheye glasses!

Step 5 use a special angle

Since you have different lenses, you should shoot them from different angles, such as putting them on the ground, embracing those exaggerated deformations, or going to high places to try different directions and angles, so that you can explore more interesting images with this lens!
