Olympus E-M1 - Samyang 7.5 f3.5 Fisheye

Olympus E-M1 - Samyang 7.5 f3.5 Fisheye

Last image from this combination for now. Whether this image works or not is questionable. For me personally no it doesn't. It's not quite symetrical and the horizon is not quite correct. Boy, do I have a lot to learn about how to photograph with a fisheye lens. Very very difficult.

And here is the second image, a totally different one just by turning where I stood. Working with a fisheye lens is one of the hardest thing I've attempted (I feel the same way about real portraiture photography). It's something you really have to work on and finding subjects that work is the hardest thing to find.

Another point about using one of these fisheye lenses is to take work your subject. I know this is true of all subjects but with a fisheye it's really important. All you have to do is turn slightly and everything changes. I'll show what I mean with the above image. The next post will show exactly what I mean. All I did was turn where I stood and a totally different image came out.

This is something new for me, using a fisheye lens that it. The lens gives an angle of view of a 15mm lens on FF but that doesn't mean a thing for me when using a fisheye lens. It's so different that I didn't really know what I was doing. Most of the images I took with this lens on this outing were binned immediately because they just didn't work. The first thing I learned when looking at the images on my screen was forget everything what's in the middle of the image. Whatever is there, just disappears into the far distance. What's important is what's at the edges of the image. This is the most single important point you have to watch when using a fisheye lens.
