Night photography with a fisheye lens: Get bent — by Kerry Souza

Portrait photographer Kerry Souza attended the March 2010 Pearsonville night photography workshop, and did most of her shooting with a 15mm fisheye lens on the Canon 5D. Fisheye lenses are difficult to use for night photography — there is so much information in the frame with an ultra-wide, that compositions can get unruly. Kerry quickly established a consistent fisheye vision in the junkyard, with excellent control of line and composition. The Get bent image above was a favorite from the critique on the 2nd day of the workshop — a swooping, spiraling night photography fisheye tour de force!

There are now 700 images from the past 4 workshops in the Pearsonville pool on Flickr — amazing night images by very talented photographers. Let me know if you’d like to get on the notification list for future workshops!

      Great work here. Someone from the first workshop did the GM Bus with some sort of fish eye and it looked great.
