Downtown Greenville, SC (fisheye lens)

 

In the fall of 2020, I decided that my widest angle lens was not quite wide enough for some of the architecture shots I was attempting. As I was researching wider lenses, I found that some people were using fisheye lenses and then "de-fishing" them in software to achieve wide angles of view. I thought "I can do that."

 

So I bought a fisheye lens, and I wrote an app to de-fish it. (Trigonometry!) It was a fun: both from the photography side and from the coding side. The next ten posts will be pictures from that time, some de-fished and some not. In the end, I got tired of the fisheye and sold it. But I learned a lot.
