Fisheye View…

| | 7

Fisheye lenses can be a creative tool for photographers. I used a Nikon16mm fisheye lens to photograph the stairway inside a lighthouse. A fisheye lens can alter the the look of a composition, making it a little more dramatic. HDR brought out the detail in the shadow and highlight areas, creating a better balanced image. The finishing touch was to convert the image to black and white using one of my favorite conversion plug-in’s, Nik Silver Efex Pro.

Great news – the  Nikon D7000 was just announced! It was a pleasure and honor to work on the promotional video for the project. It’s an absolutely fantastic camera!
Take a look!

    Could that be Cape May Point Lighthouse?

    This is Ponce Inlet Lighthouse in Florida, so many angles to shoot from. Lighthouses are beautiful, thank you!

    The price of D7000 with body only at $1,200 is considered quite steep and there’s not much improvement as compared to the D90.

    I will still stick with my D90 for sometime.
