Say Cheeese :-)

The view from the top of the Opera-building in Oslo to an area that will remain a construction area several years.
The picture is taken with my 4.5mm fish-eye, processed thru Photomatix and Topaz Adjust. There was a challenge to get the sky right without a halo.

Again nice processing but is there no way you can fix the distortion?

Hi Bynx
Since I'm pretty new to photography, the distortion does not bother me so much. I get the impression that more experience photographers are more aware of this and feel that it ruins the pictures. I have redone some of my pictures since to stated that it “really hurt your eyes” This one is not that much distorted:

The vignetted corners killed the original for me.

Your second version is ok to me. Those black corners with missing image are gone.

Some people actually LIKE the distortion. Again a really nice shot. I really want one of those lenses.
