Project 52-10-47: Distortion
Posted By: djb47, 07-29-2022, 05:53 AM

There are two different types of distortion whether it be by photographers wishing to eliminate it or to embrace it: optical and perspective. One can be altered and the other cannot! Distortion certainly has its ups and downs, and although the word sounds quite negative, it really doesn’t have to be. Some lenses are specially made to distort! The key to either preventing distortion or utilizing it to its advantage has to do with understanding why distortion happens.

Photos for Project 52-10-47 are to be taken and posted between July 29 - Aug 11.

Upcoming Projects:

P52-10-48 One Light Source 8/5

P52-10-49 Uncommon 8/12
P52-10-50 Food 8/19
P52-10-51 Upside Down 8/26




Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested is eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-10 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture or how it represents the weekly theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non
Pentax cameras are allowed. Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot,
Medium Format, etc. But no phones, please.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable

I do not own a fish eye lens but my glass ball will create refractive distortion.
