Tate Modern

Very enjoyable couple of hours photographing in Tate Modern this morning - mostly with a fish-eye lens.

Fisheye and Pinhole Close-Up Views

Continuing my quest for creative techniques for flower photography ready for the workshop in August, here are images using 15mm Canon Fisheye (low light conditions) and a Holga Pinhole on the Fuji XT series. Certainly the fisheye give a different perspective - can only be used wide open giving relatively shallow depth of field. Pin-hole images have very low success rate bur I do like some of them. The flower ones are hand held with a breeze blowing the flowers (1/15th second).

 

 

Day in Blackpool 2. On the Pier

I walked along all the three piers but my 'favourite' (or the opposite!) for noise and colour is the Central Pier. I used my 8mm Samyang Fisheye lens (1 comparison image of the Wheel shot from the Prom)
