my smiling cat ..after kana sayang by me, just nua there for me to take pic...i put my fisheye lens a few cm away in his face and he just curiously smiled into it..
an uncle by the shophouse, i smiled at him...chatted with him for a while, and he say u like take pictures, i nodded my head, he auto posed for me...i got the uncle-connections siah..
a few of these dogs barked excitiely (and fiercely) at us when we passed by.. soon they were wagging their tails...
then one of them turned around and pee in front of me.. and happily trotted back to their shack..
managed to snap this before all went back to rest..

can u skip the cheesy border editing next time?
that's like... early 2000 fad
and throw in more black and whites, like the man with the things at the back. the background behind him is fixed already, so the focus is on the man. black and white the photo so the colours don't make one whole mess and people can focus on your intended subject

and you are still blasting away with your fisheye
aside from a couple of photos, u still have not learnt that the fisheye effect is used best with symmetry.
its not a nikkor 14mm wide angle photojournalistic lens. if u want to take photos like that, go get that lens, not the fisheye.
-
like this?
-
examples of fisheye shots u should take is the cat shot
the 1st temple (2nd and 4th photo)
the rest are not suitable for fisheye.
its either u focus something around the centre so it doesn't look so distorted
or u play with lines with the whole image
-
The temple looks like Khoo Kongsi temple.

no, if u want to take photos like this with a fisheye, u go stand at the centre.
make sure everything is straight, symmetrical, like a mirror.
or u can go take a bigger step backwards, put the temple in the middle with minimum distortion and everything around it "wraps" the temple. no matter what, u should go take the image straight on. not at the side

the rare times u can place the subject at the side would be like an image like this
BUT look at the sunset. where is it? smack at the centre. its all about symmetry

kopio, you learnt photography before?

for photoshop
learn to black and white more of your images where there are overwhelming colours taking away the focus on the subject.
use levels to jack up the blacks or white levels.
u can try to desaturate your images for a softer feel
but u must do it selectively, some images look good with lots of colour, some don't.

but its good.
it doesn't distort the image like a fisheye and u can blast away
getting a workable image with the 14mm is easier than a fisheye.
if u can make a fisheye shot look NOT fisheye, then its not bad also
