TJSleepless Night
Now, I've finished with the stroll, and I was going to post something from the "monkey panorama" series that I've stopped abruptly to post about that stroll series of January 27th, but I thought that I can do that later. I'm going to slip this one shot done on the January 31st. As the title suggests, it was a sleepless night (as usual).
Now, nothing special about this long exposure shot and actually I was disappointed, as I thought I'd get more lines or action in the frame. However, it was a good experimental piece for me because it is the first time I "rectify" a fisheye shot manually.
Long ago, I would rectify fisheye shots using some programs. Anyway, now, I've started doing the job manually (which takes time and effort really), and seems I've finally done it!
Rectification of a fisheye image usually results in stretched images, typically shifting the aspect ratio of the image beyond the usual 3:2 ratio of APS-C sensors (for Canon at least; not sure about other brands). The aspect ratio here for this shot after rectification is somewhat close to 16:9.
The shot was taken with Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens (one of my favorites); a completely manual lens. The lens was attached to a modified camera (for full spectrum) and I've placed an infrared gel filter on its back (improvisation, since it has no rear-filter holder or anything). I don't have any big stopper ND filters in gel format, so I thought this filter would do the job to lengthen the exposure at night, and so it did, expanding the exposure time to about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The noise, of course, is problematic and I didn't even try to touch it, because removing it would make the image smudgy. Anyway, for a trial, it doesn't matter I guess. I'm just happy about the rectification itself that I can't be bothered about the noise!
