Sidra Senior Session -

[thereversedlens]

Sidra is our senior rep from OES, and we finally had a chance to do her full senior portrait session a few weeks ago. She's quite multi-faceted and so we tried to capture all of her: the glam, the naturalist, the just-sort-of-teenager. We had such a fun time on her session that we all just wanted to keep going and finding new things to photograph (

what lens did you use for the 3rd to last shot with the steps?

That was shot with our fisheye zoom. It's a tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5. I don't normally use lenses with a non-constant aperture, but I make an exception for that lens because it's so fun. Full 180 degree angle of view at 10mm.

The only real problem with it (other than the lens speed) is that there's some fringing on some of the edges if you look carefully. It's correctable in LR, but still irritating.

I've never used a fisheye lens before and I am looking into getting one. Sometimes when I see example pictures it's just a circle image, not rectangular, does it do that? I want the type of view you have there.. not just a circle..

There are two types of fisheyes out there, a Circular (creates a circular image in the middle of the frame) and a rectangular (as above).

Nikon produced a 6mm circular that had an angle of view >200 degrees. That's right -- it could see behind itself.
