Fish Eye or Not.
I have posted pics so you can see what I want to achieve my camera is a Canon 50d. The photos are of the Madison Wi state capital rooms. I want to show a 3 dimensional affect. Because there is art work on the walls front and ceiling in most of the rooms. I used my sigma 10 20 lens to try to achieve this. In one of the rooms I got the fire place the ceiling and the outer wall. It looks like your going up hill. I like the photo I want to know how I can get this type of affect without the slant. I don't have photoshop I am starting to learn. Question. Do I need a fish eye or can I do this with my sigma 10 20 I know I can't have it all but with a fish eye it gives a rounded effect and I still want edges. I do have picnic that can straighten photos some what but not in this one. I want to go back to try again and next time I am going to make sure the curtain is closed.
hmm maybe I am asking a lot(:
my goal was to get the fireplace wall and ceiling. I want to loose the slant. Next time I am closing the curtain.
wow this is a huge photo of the fireplace
I didn't think the photos would be so big. but in this one the ceiling is cropped out so you can't see the stain glass. I picked only a 1/4 of the room
A fish-eye lens will always give a distorted image.. that's the point.. It's not what you want..
The tilt-shift lens was developed for architectural photography to change the perspective and straighten (parallel) the lines in your photo..

You are going to need this software, fish-eye-hemi, to convert fish-eye photos to rectilinear photos.

You c an,t do anything until you learn to use a wideangle to the effect you realy want and a slant with 10mm is the curve of the lense and a fish eye would be worse. You take good photos so just do it and close that window curtain and do it again and again.

I'm not familiar with that lens. I have a Nikon DX AF Fisheye NIKKOR 10.5mm 1:2.8 G ED. I love it and paid around $680 for it.
I just bought one of these lenses for my Lumix 4/3 sensor. There are no tricks, just a very simple and straightforward design they are adapting to a multitude of mounts. It is a manual lens which requires a certain amount of photographic proficiency, and some knowledge of what your camera does with an unlinked lens. But overall, it appears to be a good quality lens. Just don't expect the same quality as the big dollar fisheye.

I have the same and my comment is the same. Editing programs such as Photoshop, Paintshop, Capture NX have fish-eye distortion correction features built in
