Fisheye lens

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 25 November 2006 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

As in the next few pictures, I find that the audience in a parade can be more interesting than the parade itself.

You:ve got it right there...especially the perspective of the audience. Bah who needs a fish eye lens...I:ve got a tuba reflection!! Great reflection shot.

@Colour blind: Well, a fisheye lens is still more portable (and probably cheaper) than a tuba... Thanks.

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

great shot. very creative. Do we have another corker of a series here...Id wager a yes.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks for the wager, but don't count your chickens...

Craiger from Vacaville, United States

Wow! I really like the elements of this shot. Repetition of shape and the space dynamics not to mention the ballance are supurb. Love the contrast and the reflection as -well. Absolutely beautiful!!!!

@Craiger: Thanks for your kind words, Craiger. I only thought to crop the horn bells evenly like that at the last minute.

Very interesting effect. Good job on not being captured in the reflection of the tuba/trumpet/whatever that is (I apolagize for my diminutive knowledge of brass instruments. Show me a guitar next time... ;])!

@Mommith in Chief: Actually, while it might not be obvious, I'm the guy in the reflection whose face is covered by a camera. So I suppose this would count as a self-portrait. Luckily, I didn't break the tuba.
