The Opera House Portico

Decided to walk to the dentist today and look for opportunities to play with fish-eye again. Great fun. This is the Lyric Opera's front portico. Posted the b&w version as still working on flashofred February - http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2015-02-23

[Rosie Kerr]

Both are cool, but I am really liking the b&w version. :)

[SC]

very nice

[Eric di Bosco]

Very interesting distortion again, and a good scene chosen for the fish eye. The colour version adds a bit of life and dynamic which I miss in the B&W

[Sue Wilde]

This one is fabulous. Love it in colour...and love the range of tones

Very cool effects. Never tried it before.

Very cool, love how the lighting draws your eye down the corridor!

[Rachel]

I love both of your shots, but I'm going with the colour one this time. The lights are such a warm colour. You might start a trend with the fish eye lens with all these amazing shots. Fav

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Linda]

Very interesting shot with lots of length.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Makes this shot look very cool. fav.

[Elizabeth]

I like the golden lights in this version!

[Nicole]

this works so well with the flash of red!

[Newbank Lass]

You're doing really well with the fish eye lens. Getting some interesting results and perspectives. I like how you are drawn in to the image down to the people.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Wonderful shot

[Ivan]

Superb image. fav

[Kathleen Hickey]

The color pop of the lights really works against the neutral of the stone.

[Loopy-Lou]

Loving your fisheye lens capture, totally awesome! I think its going be be a lens on my wish list :-)

[Sheralee S]

That row of lights really make this shot for me. I would love a fisheye but feel I don't have the architecture to use it with here.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is really fun! A fav for me.
