 how does taht prove you point that a fish eye lense wasnt used you put that on after the photo was taken on paint or something, therefore it wont warp the line you drew too, dumbshit

 wow Thanks for your constructive comment! now i want you to sit and think about this for a couple minutes,,,...now if it was shot with a fisheye lens everything would be warped, even you know that, LIKE A FISH EYE. so i drew on some little red lines, in microsoft paint (so some douche can't call out PHOTOSHOP) with the straight line tool. So if the pictures SHOULD BE CURVED and the LINES SHOULDN'T BE. and they aren't.....they line up perfectly.....what does your powers of deduction tell you?

 that hes better then you.... its not a fish eye but it is warped a little, kinda like a lense around 22mm wide angle or something

 I know what fatsir is talking about, there are very wide lenses that are designed NOT to have barrel destortion aka vignetting, however, there is still "distortion". If you shoot with a lens like that in the woods and point it up 30 degrees or something other than level, the trees "leans" towards the camera, but stay straight.

Whether the photo you guys are argueing about is photoshoped or not doesn't matter, watch the NWD series (#7 with Jeff Lenosky's street riding), they don't use "fisheyes", but they do have shots that are really freakin wide. I'm not a fan of the "fisheye" but I do have a lens that is a "semi-fisheye" so the barreling is not as noticable when panning.

 they are perfectly straight. the lowers move out towards the top is it. zoom in,have a look (hold CTRL and move your trackwheel on your mouse) now quit being such a dick because you think you have some knowledge of photography, your arguing about stuff that wasn't even brought up, your not making valid points at all. your just another blow hard teen, quit making a fool of your self.

 you snuck that one in there stu. lol i know what he is talking about too, i'm not here to prove that i know photography. i posted this to show that they weren't distorted, i don't care if you know what he is talking about, i don't care if he knows what he is talking about. all i did was post this photo to show that the fork is straight, and it is.

 Stu, barrel distortion is not vignetting. Barrel distortion is what gives fisheye the curved horizon/trees etc. Vignetting is having something close to your lens when you shoot that you throw out of focus & can sometimes happen on wide angles & fisheyes, because they are so wide you sometimes shoot the inside edges of your lens slightly & get darkening in the corners.
This shot is prob shot with a 10-20mm or something like that. I really hate the distortion of wide angles because it tries to correct the barrel distortion which is more natural than this & wide angles have this crappy stretched out feel. & to get to the main point... wide angles are designed more for landscapes so you can shoot wide & keep your horizon straight & that's why the lines stay straight, but at the expense of the front wheel & his head.

 Thank you Eric, that makes more sense than ever. See that's why your the man. but am i correct in saying the fork is straight?
  • 0 0
 Haha, no prob man.
yeah, the way it is now it should be straight... if it was nearer one of the corners then it might get "pulled" a bit skew. All got to do with angle & position of the fork in the shot.

 That's what i thought, just kinda curved at the bottom, like as you said, the tire is. it makes it look kinda taco'd, did that make sense.

 Yeah, that's why I don't like wide angles for biking or any ppl shots

 Yeah after re-reading my post I was like "oh crap, someone is going to jump in and say something about my 'definition' of vignetting". Eric's explination is way more understandable.

 that's what he does for a living. Takes complicated photography stuff and makes it easier to understand.

 if you draw the line AFTER the photo was fisheyed/taken with fish eye the lines will be straight of course Facepalm
  • 0 0
 Exactly and the straight lines i drew line up directly with the stantchions
  • 1 1
 it kinda looks fish eye though, even though the straight lines proove it isnt, optical ilusion?
