After the harvest – fish-eye lens views

After taking the panorama photos that I wrote about yesterday, I then took a few ‘normal’ views but using a fish-eye lens:

field view - 1.

This was taken quite close to the round bale with a view looking straight up the field to our cottage in the distance. Although the angle of view is very wide as you would get with a fish-eye lens, there is very little of the distortion normally seen with such a lens.

In this photo, the view is similar but the photo was taken just a few yards back from the previous image:

field view - 2

Again, there is little noticeable distortion but the angle of view look wider. Because of the angle of the sun, and the extreme angle of view, you may just notice the top of a shadow…

Finally, for this view I turned around looking roughly south west:

field view - 3

Because I am looking across the lines on the field, you can see curvature of the straight lines. In this case I don’t think it distracts from the image.

I have placed these in the ‘views’ section of my ‘work-in-progress’ Rural gallery.
