New lens - 4.5mm

[janok]

I just purchased a Sigma 4.5mm. I figured out that it is a brand new sport managing these circular pictures. Here are some samples:

good shots! usually i don't like HDRs very much, but the #2 and #3 are great!
Have you done some outdoor shots at the Opera house?

 

[Derrel]

As we say in the USA, that third shot "kicks A$$ man!" Superb matching of subject matter to a fisheye lens!

Thank you both. @giulionic, here are some old shots I took from outside the Opera in Oslo

I love them. HDR and fisheye put to good use! A rare find in the photography world. I love the angles and lines.

I meant done with the 4.5mm
Try also some 4.5mm at vigelad's and near Karl Johans/national theatre

I have some outdoor shots with the 4.5mm, but I have not been able to process them yet. I will probably do this while there are some soap-operas on TV during this week

I wasnt expecting much. Boy, was I wrong. These are really great. I think the distortion and the processing are a good match in your subjects here.

Did you use content aware to fill the corners of the ones that are non-circular?

 

[janok]

Hi D-B-J
Yes I did in #2 and #4. #2 had most area to be filled (as you can see - not 100% good job). On #4 I used Lense Correction in CS5. It really does some magic unfolding the fisheye pictures. Still I needed to do some content-aware fill-out in the corners.
