L'Arc de Triomphe

Posted by Vincent Bertrand (Montréal, Canada) on 16 July 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Pour se servir du fisheye, il faut laisser de côté les automatismes, et ne pas hésiter à pointer carrément vers le haut. C'est le cas ici.

Place de l'Étoile, Paris, France

Using a fisheye, you really need to let go all your automatism about framing, and not by shy to point directly up. That's what I've done here.

@Marie Le Corre: Merci Marie. J'ai simplement utilisé un objectif "fisheye".

Jean-Benoît Maréchal from Dinant, Belgium

Wouah ! Bel effet, il semble mou... Joli cadrage aussi.

@Jean-Benoît Maréchal: Merci Jean-Benoît. Je pense que ce genre de sujet se prête bien aux prises de vues utilisant l'objectif "fisheye". Ça donne une dimension un peu surréaliste.

Ana Lúcia from Leiria, Portugal

A totally different perspective!

@Ana Lúcia: Fisheye perspective. I should try to "unfold" it, just to see what happen. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers, Ana!

Jean-François Maurice from St-Jérôme, Canada

J'aime bien l'effet "tourbillonnant" de cette photo!

@Jean-François Maurice: La vision à 180 degrés! Il faut faire attention au cadrage avec un fisheye.

zOOm from Paris, France

Renversant ! :-)

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Fantastic shot, 15mm.... wonderful..!

@Observing: Actually, it's the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye for APS-sized captors on DSLR. Am3 reads the "35mm equilavent" focal lenght into the EXIF. If I remember well, the "full size frame" had a 16mm fisheye. Thanks for your comment.

"fisheye" photographs are always so interesting! it gives the onlooker so much more perspective than straight out shoots.

Thank you for visiting my photoblog, I will look forward to more of your comments & feedback.

@Vahid: Thank you. I like this picture a lot myself!

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States

A very original vision - quite though-provoking, it makes me question reality :)

@Ken McCoy: Thank you! 180 degrees angle of view (from a corner to the opposed one in diagonal) sure gives a whole new perspective.

Stefan from Thiersee, Austria

great wide angle shot, wonderful!

22 Jul 2008 7:57pm

@Stefan: Thank you Stefan. It's been made with a fisheye lens.

Isao from isère, France

j'adore l'effet !!! Déformé juste ce qu'il faut ;-)

@Isao: En fait, la perspective est correct, c'est un fisheye à 180 degrés de diagonale. Ça donne l'impression d'une importante distortion. Merci du commentaire.
