Re: fisheye for normal looking pictures

[William Johnson]

No photoshop work besides resizing for the web.  It was a direct scan from 
8X10 print.   The secret was to keep the horizon in the exact center of the 
frame so that it remained fairly straight.  Enlarging to 8X10 cropped a 
couple of inches off the top due to the difference in ratio between an 8X10 
print and a 24X36mm negative.    I feel this gave better composition to the 
print.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Great picture.
It does not look distorted at all.  Did you have to do any cropping or 
perspective correction in Photoshop ?

It's easier with scenics.  Especially if there are no tall trees at the 
edge
of the frame.  Here's a humble example of how I used a fisheye that I 
don't
think looks too obvious.
