Unusual view of Big Ben ...

... from inside a classic red telephone booth in London. It must have looked strange when I shot it as the police came and wondered if everyting was allright with me =)
Well did you have tights and a cape?

What lens did you use for this? not much space for a tripod, LOL!

I like the unusual ambience of viewing London from a box, especially one so iconic.

Asher :)
 
I used a manual Peleng 8mm fisheye. Had to make the tripod a lot smaller ( narrower? ).
The cape did not fit in the booth with both me and tripod =)

very interesting and rich panorama - thank you for sharing it.
congratulationg for the use of Peleng in plain daylight - is famous for its wild flare.

what camera did you use?
 
Thanks!
I dont think the Peleng flare is to bad, see example here. I used a Canon 350d for the panorama.

Where on earth are your feet??

One of the images that are usually shot for a Pano assembly is a so-called "Nadir" shot, a shot of the floor surface without tripod and (if possible) feet. Likewise, a "Zenith" shot, a shot of the overhead area, is usually made.

Tripod legs?? Are you hanging from the booth's roof for the floor shot? :)

LOL, that would draw the attention of police officers for sure ...

Cheers,
Bart
