In 1511 the Portuguese cargo ship Flor de la Mar (Flower of the Sea) sank in a storm. Treasures of the Malacca royal family are said to have been on board. The wreck remains undiscovered to this day. A replica of the ship is anchored at the end of the Malacca River.
@jerome I just read your comment to Lil - that's a fascinating way to produce this image. I must admit I also thought it was a fisheye lens. It's a remarkable end result. :)
I put together 28 single photos with photoshop. The result is this fisheye effect.
Thank you for your nice comments!
Yes, you can get interesting results with this approach.
