shanghai according to the fisheye

so the photos came back. and man, there is a lot to learn!

first of all, i need to use the flash more often. well, this first roll, i hardly can be blamed because i went snapping away with buying a battery for the flash. so a lot of the pictures taken in alleyways came out really dark. but then again, i had thought there was enough light. i need to be more sensitive to the amount of light in the surroundings. 

secondly, i need to get closer to my subjects! in photos that i thought i got really close-up still turned out relatively far away. time to step closer and give in-your-face a whole new meaning. 

 

thirdly, the distortion effects of the fisheye works really well when there are structures or objects at the edges of the photos. the further away from the center of the shot, the more distorted they become. check out these cool ones that unexpectedly turned up interesting.
