Because of the extreme feild of view, the guy with the camera and the girl with the water were v. close! o Shot hand-held using a R6.2, 16mm fisheye-elmarit, PJ100 C41 film. Camera held at chest height and a set of spirit levels in the hotshoe were used to keep roll & pitch level. o It is actually a composite of 8 separate images I took while turning around in one spot. These imgs were then blended together using Photoshop. o The RHS part of the shot is straight into the cloudy sun - here is where the Leitz optics show how good they are! Hardly any flaring and lots of shadown detail. Not bad for a 25 year old lens design. Regds, Andrew Nemeth VR MEDIA SOUND PHOTO JAVA nemeng Warrimoo Australia www.nemeng.com
