Weird Photography Using Fish-eye Lens

Hey Guys, Happy Weekend ...

Today was a rough day for me but in the end, all is good. Well, you must be thinking about the title and wanted to check what is this all about. A few weeks back, my dad gave me a portable fish-eye lens for my smartphone, which is small and easy to carry. It's not a very good quality lens but as a beginner, I wanted to learn more about it.

My dad bought it from Malaysia especially to capture Petronas Twin-Tower picture and after that, he never used that. So, I told him to give me so that I can do some experiments.

Let's see how the experiment went...

I personally not very fan of fish-eye lens or capture because I think this is for professional photographers and really hard to understand. Also, in my opinion, the outcome of the fish-eye lens picture is really confusing and unpleasant to look at. It's totally my personal opinion because I like clear, simple vertical or horizontal pictures without any manipulation.

I am trying this portable fish-eye lens for the first time and I know there are mistakes and failures according to the photography. In fact, some pictures are not even clear and blurred, a complete disaster. I personally feel these two pictures are a failure or maybe I did something wrong or don't know how to use this lens.

These two pictures turned a little bit better and I edited them as well. Fall is the perfect season for photography and doing an experiment, to be honest. I really love these burning red leaves and vibrant green wild plants. These two pictures really turned out well from my opinion.

“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.”
-Henri Cartier-Bresson

Look at these vibrant colors leaves, I am sure you already noticed that. I worked on color saturation and sharpness to give depth in these pictures. So that it will be pleasant to look at.

-Vincent Van Gogh

I have also shot a video about this to show you guys how much I have struggled to deal with this portable lens. Again I am saying this is my first time and I tried to see the outcome results. Failure or success don't know still because this is just my first day. Watch my video for more details and information if needed...

I will share more captures with you soon. I have used my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge to capture these pictures...
