"The Final Rehearsal"© David A. Ziser
Here is another image I made last Friday of my young Bar Mitzvah. He is rehearsing his Torah readings one last time before Saturday - the big day. I have to say, I really like how the image is presented with the fisheye lens. The way it makes the Torah so prominent in the composition speaks to its importance in the Jewish faith. The curved lines created by the Fisheye lens also effectively brings the center of interest directly to our subject. Not everybody is a fan of the fisheye effect - I happen to be a big fan when it's used appropriately. Camera specs; Canon 40D fitted with Sigma 8mm Fisheye, F 5.6 @ 1/30 second, ISO 800. Enjoy! -David
David,
ReplyDeleteLoved the shot with the fisheye. I feel as you do that the fisheye effect added emphasis to the two main subjects of the photograph. I enjoy coming to your site daily to both see your wonderful images and to continue my education. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your posts.

ReplyDeleteI for one rarely like the fisheye look, but I do appreciate it here for the reasons you stated.
