Very moving Frank. Very effective use of the fisheye, it heightens the
emotional impact of the scene.
Thanks, Gonz, Dave.
Gonz, I don't know if the fisheye affects the emotional impact, but
what I do like is that it allowed me to get the flowers and
expressions of sympathy, along with the signage ~and~ a passerby all
in the same frame.
What it does for me Frank is that the distortions created by the fisheye
give me a feeling of senselessness of the situation, or that feeling you
get when you cant believe something is happening to you. The
senselessness of her death is better conveyed by the otherworldly feel
the lens has given the scene. The emotional impact would not have been
the same with a rectilinear lens. If you dont believe me, put the image
through PS and correct the distortions.
I've got another one of the many that I shot that turned out okay that
I've already printed up - I may post later, just for comparison. I
don't know that it's better or worse than this one, but it's
different, anyway.
Thanks again for everyone's comments on this one...
cheers,
frank
