![]() I wasn't necessarily envisioning this type of shot at all, but once we got to this location that little idea light in my mind went off and went, oh, that would be perfect for fisheye. I've got this great texture in the foreground here. So that one turned out really cool, even though there is that really obvious distortion. We'll kill the lights and take another shot. Alright, now I've got my composition set where I've tilted the camera down to get that spherical distortion on the horizon. I might give it a little bit more, but I think what I'm gonna do now is I wanna tilt the camera down so that I can get the fisheye lens accentuating the horizon line. I think what we'll do now is I will turn those video lights off and I'll retake the shot just in total darkness and see what it looks like then. Obviously, the lights we're using for the video shoot here are spilling in. Initially, I'm just using this to check my composition. ![]() Let's just adjust that and see how it's gonna look. My general exposure time's gonna be about 30 seconds on this here. I'm gonna do a couple of exposures, maybe one for the general foreground, maybe one for the sky. ![]() I'm shooting wide open at F 2.8 mainly because with really wide angle lenses you can shoot wide open and still get pretty good depth of field. In terms of my exposure on here, I'm set to ISO 200. What I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna shoot one kinda straight on where I'm trying to avoid that distortion, but I'm also gonna do one where I'm tilting down slightly cause I think it's gonna look pretty cool to see the almost sphere shape of the earth in the background with the moon rising above the clouds there. If you tilt it downward, it's gonna create a sphere or kind of an orb-type effect. So if you tilt the lens upwards in relationship to the horizon, it's gonna kinda curve up and create a bowl-type effect. Whenever you start to tilt it upwards or downwards, that's where you get the curvature distortion. There might be a little bit of distortion on the edges, but it looks just super wide. When this lens is arranged sort of straight onto the horizon, it actually doesn't have any weird curvature or distortion. The term fisheye sort of suggests that the lens creates a circular image and it totally looks like a sphere. I've got a fisheye lens on here, a 15 millimeter fisheye lens. There's a few bird tracks over there, which I kinda like. Did a little exploring, looking around, I finally found a great location with this bush and these bushes in the background and some ridges that were pretty untrammeled. I wanted to see if I could make a picture at a low angle with those ridges in there cause I knew that when the moon is still fairly low on the horizon, as it still is, it's up a little bit now, but it's still kinda low, that it would create these really cool shadows and accentuate the patterns of the ridges in the dunes. Ever since I got to this location and been walking around and exploring, I've been really fascinated by the texture of the ridges in the sand caused by the wind.
