after debarrelizing

Shot with a 15mm fisheye and then run through
a debarrelizer to correct the distortion so that effectively
this lens can be used as a wide angle lens. It is a nice alternative to
the more expensive traditional wide angle lenses.

Now I realize that my square crop does not really show up the distortion too well.
Below you can see how the image looked before I used the debarrelizer.

I know someone here wanted to see how this worked.
cheers!

Go SOX!

very nice shot!

Great photo!! The debarrellizer worked really well. You can also use transform:distort in PS to correct barrelling. But whatever that action is that you used did a perfect job.

Wow ... works well !! Nice image too.

That's really interesting. Have never thought about a fish eye before, but knowing that it could be used also as a wide angle..... oh man, I don't need the temptation!

Nice job with this image.

Ohh I see, thats really interesting. I'll have to try that out and study the effects more closely. You learn something new everyday,, thanks for sharing!

Well....I scratched my head and tried to see what the heck made this not look like a wide angle photo...looked at all the wide angle photos that I've defished and none of them were like this, so I came back and read your caption all the way through. Square crop!! OY... all that confusion I suffered from not reading carefully.

ummmmm . . I don't see a difference . . .=P

You are really barreling along with this lens. I've never heard of the software, but it cetainly converted it well!

Wow, I really like that fisheye lens. It's kinda like getting two-in-one with that lens. On one hand, the fisheye distortion can be used to good effect in some shots, or where a special effect is desirable, and on the other hand, the distortion cleans up really nicely! Do you use PS to correct, or is that an after market plug-in? Is the correction automatic, or do you have to manipulate, ala a "tansform" type tool?
