THANK YOU Betterphoto [Contest Winner Pool February 2005 Techniques and Photoshop Photos]
Uploaded: February 21, 2005 00:03:43
I thought the best way to say THANK YOU to Jim Miotke and his Betterphoto staff was to share a technique that Colette Metcalf shared with me. If you want to see the entire write-up then get a February 2005 copy of Popular Photography & Imaging and read “Something’s Fisheye” by Debbie Grossman starting on page 48. You’ll have to experiment to find the right photo to apply the fisheye technique to but I found that ones with vertical lines and a bit of depth worked the best for me.
Murry Grigsby February 21, 2005
My step-by-step is for a PC so you MAC users will need to make the appropriate changes to some of the key names I used. The author, Debbie Grossman, says this works in Photoshop 6 and above, Elements 2 and above and Paint Shop Pro. It’s a nice way to get that fisheye look without buying an expensive fisheye lens and having to carry yet another lens in a bag that is already too heavy.
I do appreciate Jim, his staff and of course all the other fine photographers and artists that share their know-how every day by posting and continue to inspire me to keep my photos fresh and fun. THANKS everyone!!
