Description Another silly fisheye view of Dogen

He kind of resembles a Walrus here, no? LOL

I know this image has it's problems, but you should look at what came out of the camera [link]

I don't even know what possessed me to play around with it LOL

It's kind of spooky to think that I was standing right in front of him when i took this shot...
... he was looking up at me while begging for a treat!
I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience when I look at this! LOL

I just held the camera out to his side about 6 inches from his face & clicked the shutter... come what may

The 180° field of view really has it moments

Thanks.

I was actually trying to figure out how to get a certain "look" & stumbled across this version

awww, cute

though it looks a little solarized, with the outline around the dog.

Yeah... this image has allot of problems... but if you look at what came out of the camera [link] you'll understand why

i actually like the original better, as far as editing goes, just do some burning, dodging, fill light, and convert to black and white, adjust the contrast, and it will look more like a normal photograph.
this one is edited to the point where it looks saturated and plasticy, in my opinion.

Yeah... you're right to a degree...
I probably should have stopped after making all those basic corrections.
Maybe I put that version up as an alternate...

But, I was playing with some extreme curve adjustments while having a totally different shot in mind & got a bit carried away LOL

That is such a cute dog. Also, I love the contrast in the black and white as well as the flows of water and everything. This is a gorgeous photo all around. Keep up the great work!

Also, aren't fish-eye lenses just fun in general to mess around with?

Thanks so much!
What you wrote means so much more after you see what came out of the camera [link] LOL

YESSS... I *LOVE* my fisheye lens :Heart:.
It's really loads of fun to play with.
I'm still learning how to work with it.
It's also really difficult to control the exposure.

Wow, the original compared to this one it looks amazing. Absolutely amazing, you did some great work on it--definitely.
You definitely did a huge improvement on a image that already looked good! I would have been happy myself with the original, but you didn't stop there!
That is fantastic!


Definitely keep up the good work, and I think I will be keeping my eye on you in the future.
