finally! i have a locking reel! just in time, because i am the new Locking teacher @ The Origin. the classes are thursdays @ 6pm. come support!
i’m sorry for taking so long to make this video…but here is my fisheye lens:
just do a search for “mobile fisheye lens” if you’d want something similar. i hear you can also use a door viewer [the little peekhole to see whos on the other side] as a fisheye too. if you want that fish eye effect, its best to use an actual lens. i’ve seen some really bad digital fisheye effects…having an actual lens also adds to the charm of hipstamatic.
we should note, that my fisheye is not a true fisheye. its more of a wide-angle lense with a soft-surround vignette. it still does the job….especially when you want to sneak a shot of the person sitting 2 feet away from you on the trolley…
here are some photos i’ve taken with the fisheye and hipstamatic:
sorry, i meant to post this earlier…but here is our debut performance. i “choreographed” the 3rd song if anybody was curious. it’s not a marvel of a piece, but it should be noted this is the first locking piece i EVER choreographed.
stay tuned for pics of my latest fashion project!
stay tuned next week! because i will be posting a video about using hipstamatic with a fisheye lens!
well anyway, i happened to be one of the lucky ones that was able to pick up the new hipstamatic goodpak while it was still available for download. [don't worry, it comes out this friday]. i took it out for a test spin today, taking shots of my daily life. it appears the melodie lens intensifies brightness. dark colors are darker, bright colors are more vibrant. green seems to pop out much more. i would recommend it for when you are taking photos outdoors in the sunlight. [taking shots in the shade results in silohuette images] indoor shots tend to come out dull and grainy. when the new hipstamatic pack comes out, comment on this entry with a link to your shots! i'm interested to see what other people will do with it.
