Perceptual Distortion
A fisheye lens creates images with extreme barrel distortion, meaning subjects in the center look somewhat magnified, while the edges of the image quickly taper off and feature curved lines that do not reflect reality. The overall effect is a purposely warped view that provides plenty of opportunity for creative pictures.
The subject you focus on will be sharp and clear but peripheral elements away from the center of the picture will quickly begin to look distorted. In other words, background elements are generally secondary when using this lens, so your foreground subjects must be able to carry the composition and provide power to the image.
Specific Uses
- You can create striking portraits with a fisheye lens.
- Tends to guide a viewer's eyes towards the middle of the frame and draws attention to the person you're shooting.
- Capturing Animals. Most animals move towards lenes.
- The super wide angle of a fish eye lens lets you shoot very close to your furry friends, and the silly distortion helps accentuate their fun personalities.
- In tight quarters, such as a small room, this large field of view is helpful in capturing groups of people or action shots where fast-moving subjects are hard to capture with a regular lens.
But the one thing you must remember is not to overuse the fishlense, because it could get tiresome.
