Portraits - a little bit of fun with perspective distortion

How you might not want to take a close-up portrait with your wide angle lens, and not light a person like this who may have a round face!!

Thanks to my able model for being up for a bit of fun!

I will post some none perspective distortion images soon!

P.S I've now sold my Sigma wide angle lens (10-20mm) as you can see why it's best not used for portraits!  That said it was never intended to be used for portraits anyway.  Other than that it was a good DX lens for most other things in case anyone was wondering.

How you might not want to light a person this way if they have a round face!

You can see the lighting set-up in her eyes.

Old Portsmouth in the sunshine

Hope you have enjoyed the three "Old Portsmouth series" of posts.

 

Old Portsmouth with a night twist!!

Home town Pompey dead at night - with unusual but possibly unexplained moments!! 

Maybe superman has been at work moving things around on different occasions!! Needed to be lightning quick and spent time over a long period to catch them all.

Definitely NO PHOTOSHOP or equivalent, all in camera! Adobe Lightroom used for cataloguing and levels etc.

Nikon D50 (DX) 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 ISO 200.

Strange ship engaging possibly hyperdrive! 

                      Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays coming back from an excursion

Old Portsmouth at Night

Nightscapes of Old Portsmouth (Pompey.)

I'll also add a few more images, where there are some unexplained occurrences but you'll have to wait until Sunday to see them!!

All shots taken with a Nikon D50 (DX) and 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 ISO 200 with various exposure times. No Photoshop just Lightroom.

Spinnaker Tower located at Gun Wharf Quay, a former Naval base now converted to: -
retail; leisure (pubs, restaurants, multiplex cinema, clubs, bowling, casino) residential and hotel.

Old fort and battlements protecting the harbour

  

The very famous (locally) "Still and West" public House whilst a "Gales Ale" pub.  The beer was brewed in Horndean, Hampshire but this has now closed since "Fullers" acquired the brewery a few years ago and the old brewery has now been partially developed for residential.
