The Unique Shooting Method of Fisheye Lens

Using a fisheye lens, especially a diagonal fisheye lens (also called a full-frame fisheye lens, which produces a rectangular distorted image of the full-frame "negative"), will be an unforgettable experience for a landscape photography enthusiast.

The "planetary world" under the fisheye lens is another dreamlike scene. By making good use of this special visual effect, photographers can often use the diagonal fisheye lens to exert their ability to discover unique perspectives and imaginative creativity.

Below I will introduce to you the unique shooting method of fisheye lens.

1.Overlooking the city, creating a "planetary wonder"

You can use a fisheye lens to shoot a bird's-eye view when climbing a building. With the 180° viewing angle of the fisheye lens, more buildings, streets and other scenes of the city are included, and the scene is spectacular and grand.

When shooting, you can deliberately lower the angle of view, and then the horizontal horizon will bulge upwards, and the whole picture will seem to become a small planet, which is very interesting.

2.A new approach to fisheye street photography

Fisheye lenses can also be used to shoot street scenes. Although many people think that it is unwise to shoot street scenes with fisheye lenses, in fact, nothing is absolute. As long as the fisheye lens is used well, exaggerated deformation can also become a great pleasure of street works.

In addition, since fisheye lenses can often focus at close range, the photographer can be very close to the subject. This close-up shooting effectively makes up for the shortcomings of "messy and unfocused", and the practice of "if the photo is not good enough, it's because you are not close enough" will also make the photographer feel happy.

3.When shooting from a horizontal perspective, strive for accuracy in the early stages

When we take photos, we often don't take the horizontal correction of the picture seriously, thinking that it can be corrected better in post-processing. However, when shooting with a fisheye lens - especially when shooting at a normal horizontal angle - a slight change will cause a big change in the image of the scenery at the edge of the picture. If you don't take it seriously in the early stage of shooting, the fisheye effect will be greatly reduced in the later correction and cropping.

If you think horizontal framing is boring, you can actually try making your camera crooked, which can sometimes bring some novelty.

4.Try shooting from above or below

The biggest charm of fisheye lens is the perspective effect like a small planet when shooting from above or below. This can often avoid mediocre perspectives and produce stunning compositions that will make people's eyes light up.

5.Sometimes, closer is better

Many fisheye lenses have a very short minimum focusing distance, allowing the photographer to get close to the subject. At this time, the subject often has a "big head" effect (especially when shooting people, although this is rarely done). This technique is also often used by some photographers when shooting street scenes with fisheye lenses.

6.Pay attention to composition and avoid clutter

Since there are too many scenes involved, using a fisheye lens will often produce mediocre pictures with terrible distortion and no sense of priority, often resulting in a failed work. Therefore, shooting with fisheye lenses is also a big test of the photographer's composition skills.

The Main Contents And Methods of Optical Lens Inspection

图片
Optical lenses are the core components of optical imaging systems. Their imaging quality and performance directly affect the performance of the imaging system in practical applications. Therefore, it is very necessary to test the various performance indicators of optical lenses. By testing the performance indicators of optical lenses such as resolution, contrast, distortion, dispersion, and focal stability, we can fully understand the imaging characteristics of the lens and provide data support for lens design optimization, production, manufacturing, and subsequent maintenance. Ⅰ . The main contents of optical lens inspection The inspection of optical lenses covers many aspects, mainly to comprehensively evaluate the imaging quality and mechanical performance of the lens. Its main contents include the following directions: 1. Optical performance testing Resolution testing. Resolution is a measure of the lens's ability to distinguish object details and is the primary indicator of l...

Composition Techniques For Shooting With A Fisheye Lens

图片
Fisheye lens is a special lens with a very wide viewing angle, which can produce strong distortion effect and create a very visually impactful picture. However, due to its special optical properties, the composition of fisheye lens is also very challenging and requires breaking conventional thinking. Here are some composition tips when shooting with fisheye lens: 1. Using central symmetry Fisheye lenses produce strong barrel distortion, and placing the subject in the center of the frame can effectively reduce the effect of distortion on the subject, while using the symmetry of the lens to enhance the sense of balance in the picture. When shooting, you can enhance symmetry by looking for subjects with symmetrical shapes (such as buildings, bridges, flowers, etc.) and place them in the center of the lens to create a striking symmetrical composition. 2. Use lines to guide the eye Fisheye lenses can "bend straight lines into arcs". Making good use of lines can guide the audience...

What Are The Specific Applications of M12 Lenses In The Field of Security Monitoring?

图片
The M12 lens is a common miniaturized lens. Because it is small and light, it is usually used in the field of security monitoring and can provide functions such as high-definition image capture and video recording. Specific applications of M12 lenses in the field of security monitoring The M12 lens is small in size and suitable for use in environments with limited installation space. Therefore, it is very suitable for use in security monitoring equipment. The application of M12 lens in the field of security monitoring mainly has the following aspects: 1. Vehicle monitoring The M12 lens is suitable for installation on vehicle surveillance cameras to monitor the interior of the car or the surrounding environment of the vehicle, ensure the safety of the vehicle and record the actual driving situation. M12 lens for vehicle monitoring 2. Indoor monitoring The M12 lens can be installed on small indoor cameras to monitor indoor environments such as homes, shops, and offices, providing clear...
