Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In reviewed

Fisheye-Hemi Plug in ni slh satu plug yg bguna,available for Photoshop and Aperture.
Mac and Windows.

Plug in ni bguna utk buang distortion effect gambar yg di amik guna fisheye lens. Supaya mnjadi much more better dan nice. Sesuai utk people photo or landscape

Sedikit Introduction :
Fishey-Hemi is a Photoshop (and Apple Aperture) plug-in which turns fisheye images into something useful. It pulls out the corners so the image feels more like a cylinder than a sphere. In other words, horizontal lines still curve after you use this plug-in, but curved vertical lines become straightened.

Download link dan description dari cni : http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/fisheye-hemi.htm

Ak download for Aperture plug in. Install cm biasa. Complete,just launch it.
Yg ak dnlod ni trial. Nk full kna bli. Huhu.

                                                   Here is the Fisheye-Hemi on Aperture 3

 

Dia ada option utk pilih cam tab,iaitu Original,Hemi 1,Hemi 2,Hemi 3 atau Apply to all.

So just pilih la mna2 yg korg berkenan. 

Here is the result :

                                                                  Before Fisheye-Hemi

                                                                After Fisheye-Hemi

Notice the difference? Yg bntuk org kt belah kiri ( tokey kedai ) dlm gmbr kdua dia nmpk tegak, then see the yellow photo machine being looks stretched straight.

Utk tegakkn gmbr yg di amik guna fisheye lens ni sbnrnya ada 2 cara,1 dgn guna software cam Photoshop utk buang distortion dia,tu nama dia rectilinear. 1 lg dgn guna plug in Fisheye-Hemi ni. 

So far ada pbezaan antra kdua teknik ni. Dr test yg di buat pd aku,straighten guna plug in ni is much better than using the rectilinear technique. Sbb kalo wat guna rectilinear,gmbr org tu akn nmpk cm ter tarik ke tepi. But using the Fisheye-Hemi will maintain the quality without leaving the silly look of your fisheye images. Dia jg akn tegakkn vertical line or objek tegak dlm gmbr. Sbb kbiasaan fisheye lens akn bulatkn segala ape kt tepi dan corner,yg mna kalo amik gmbr org nmpk cm bodo la. hahaha. Beza dgn wide angle plk,bgus utk pemandangan dan tarik bhagian corner supaya fit dlm lens. 

Cons : Using the trial version will leave you with a watermark all over the picture. Damn! get the crack one. Hahaha

Linxing Fisheye lense. 1st Indoor test

Just bought a new fisheye lense.
Buy from Colors and Colors,Komtar.

Brand   : Linxing.
Details : Linxing 52mm Professional  0.25x Fisheye Lens
Type    : Converter
Price   :  Actual price RM288. Get it with RM230 ( plus free one micro fiber cloth ) haha

 

            Inside the box is 2 in 1 lens converter, lens cap, leather sleeve for the lens, and silica gel

                                                      A close look to the Linxing Fisheye

                          This is how does it look when the lens attached to the Nikon D3100

The lense have 2 different function. First,it is use to give a fisheye effect to the picture, another one, it can also be use as a macro lens. Just take out the top part ( fisheye ) so it will be like this.
Below is the sample the picture taken using the macro mode :

                                                                      Not bad, huh?

Now here is the picture taken using the fisheye lens.

 ISO : 1600, Focal length : 18mm, f/3.5,1/250, no flash,

Here is the quick review of the lens :
Pro's :  -Multi function use, 2 in 1 Macro and Fisheye lens converter.
           - Infrared compatible
           -Wide angle use
           -The fisheye is fun to try.Will give different perspective,effect to your picture

Cons : -Expensive price. Converter like this should price max RM150 ( reasonable )
           -Picture taken with the fisheye mode, clear in the middle, have some blur, distortion covering
            the round of the lens.
           -Macro mode need to manual focus.

This is the first try of this lens. Stay tuned for more updates. We're gonna bring this lens to the outdoor test
