Evening Shots with the Canon Fisheye Lens

Evening Shots with the Canon Fisheye Lens

Back at the beginning of December (the 7th) Our Paul from the camera club organised a evening walk around Cambridge at dusk. As I said in my last blog post I had two projects in mind. This is the second of those projects. Using the Canon 8mm-15mm Fisheye zoom I had borrowed from my friend Jonathan I wanted to capture the evening light typically with a circular format. As you can see not all are circles. 

Having worked on the files in Lightroom I took them into Photoshop to remove the black outer ring and typically replace with white. In some other cases I created a reduced opacity layer in place of the white. For the picture of Ann I used a dark grey. In a couple of images I did leave the black border.

Cambridge ICM with the Camera Club

 The Cambridge Camera Club Wednesday Workshop Group was out and about last week in Cambridge. We met at 16:00 as the evening light was just starting. 

I had two projects in mine, the first was to use ICM (intensional camera movement) on bikes and people. Fro this I used the Fuji x100v with the fixed 23mm lens (35mm on full frame).

Haddenham Fisheye Fun

Haddenham Fisheye Fun 

I have borrowed a 8-15mm Fish Eye Zoom from my friend Jonathan till after Christmas. I was out using it the other day in Cambridge and I realised I had not posted this set taken around Haddenham about a month ago. At its widest setting it produces a circular image with a black surround. I have used photoshop to change this to white and add a black circular key keyline.
