This is a band picture for a local South Florida band. I took the picture with a wide angle lens attached to my camera. The correct way to use is it is to set your camera zoom through it. I discovered that when I leave it wide open I get this cool fish bowl effect an almost 180 degree field of view. Once I had my picture I cropped it down so you only see the curves on the left and right, I then used Levels to brighten the picture and then I added some contrast.

Well a few people didn't like the idea that it was an advertisement. Oh well, it was and it wasn't. I would have had a gazillion questions if I just left "Sidblu" so I figured I'd just put the whole url. My description explains the fish eye effect.
Great use of a barrel distortion effect. I like the colors (you do know that blue and yellow are perfect compliments don't you?) and all the studio atmoshpere. One of my four 10's this week.
i like this shot. it's got good colors and great framing. the players in action are captured really well, too. i could definitely see this in a cd layout.
Nice fisheye effect. A few little nits: Window behind lead guitar way tooo harsh; somewhat yellow tint all over; poor light on both guitarists; maybe guitarists are a bit too close to the edge (notice the lead guitar's head is missing, is that a Les Paul?); misc. grip about the framing, but there's really nothing you could do about it. Photo 9 Creativity 10 ++ People 10 (although I really, really like this shot, I have to give the final score -1 because of downsides to the additional lens, sorry) total 9
The fish-eye effect used is cool I guess, but now with the black borders. I can't imagine that a lens did this -- it looks like a mirror. I'd suggested getting an actual fish-eye lens. Also your tones seem washde out, I think of better source of lighting would've allowed more options.
Looks like a cover of an album. What is it taken through? The white balance is obviously off, but it does give a certain mood, and the contrast is way up. I don't mind the undetailed shadows as much as that blown out white something on the right side of the frame.
Very cool angle. Is this a reflection? I'd say no, since the Elvis poster in the top left isn't reversed. If not, I'd like to know how you got this effect. It's a good band shot, but the lighting could be better, and the colors are a bit bland (then again, they seem to all be playing black instruments) nice job
