Fisheye lens

[scottishskier]

Views on fisheye lenses? used a lot in skiing and all action sports.
overused? good effect? hard to watch?

your opinions...

Sick in moderation and if you truly utilize it to it's full potential. Better for filming close though because photography you are stationary anyways and it is so hard to be super close and get good shots with skiing

the tc crew knows what theyre doing, and they make it look sick. aka the "teeth lens" to ian compton

they work for skating when the filmer can get really close. i feel like in skiing, a wideangle is way better and fisheye shots dont work out as well.

i cant stand fish eye, sometime it looks ok but usually its just really annoying

I film everything In fisheye, it makes it look way more extreme.

Cereal: fisheye

Summer chillin: fisheye

Grillin: fisheye

I have actually been experimenting with fisheye goggles so my life is in fisheye

get a wide angle, they're 10x better, no distortion, nice crisp shots, usually are faster, and have better glass for the most part. I fucking hate fisheye shots on everything but skateboarding. I unfortunately might have to get a fisheye for my T2i because I shoot for skate magazines and that might be the case. =(

get a fishy but preferably a baby death! If you get one from opteka its only 100 bucks, and so much better than the shit one i used to one

i shoot dslr, so if i do get a fisheye, im not gonna get an 'el cheapo one.
