Hi,
Couple of images taken with Kevin's (mitedo) fisheye lens during our Gold Coast photo session. I'd like to thank Kevin for showing me around and being a very good company!



Please, comment and critique

Mikhail, great shots and well i am a landscape dummy so i think the perspective is good using that lens. It's Different.

The first one is interesting, but the second just looks too distorted to me - lots of uninteresting foreground rocks and a really distorted horizon just doesn't work.

Thank's Mikhail no probs it was nice to get away & take some photos with you also thanks for the use of your 24-120 vr lens i have some good photos from it , looks like birddog will be getting some money from me soon for this lens

Thanks for comments, guys!

Peter,
So, you think that fisheye distortion works for the first one and damaged the second?

The "damage" is less in the first one. I think it's because there is such a strong horizon in both.

Looking at some shots Kevin took when outback with that lens in this thread, the ones that work have less strongly distorted horizon lines and visually interesting foregrounds and are more balanced. In the first one the foreground anchor holds (dare I say anchors!) my attention so the horizon curvature is less distracting.

Fair enough Peter! Thanks for your comments!
