There is still some relevant information in here regarding the use of wide-angle lenses in photography. As a commercial photographer traveling throughout Canada, I use a lot of different lenses, almost everything.

See the thing is, as a photographer can shoot anyway you want. Use distortion, or make the shot look crazy. Or make your images look normal it is up to you.

Motion blur is an interesting effect that can be used in photography to create a sense of motion. It can be used to convey a feeling of speed or to show the motion of objects in a photograph.

Generally, barrel distortion occurs when a wide-angle lens is used to photograph a subject with strong vertical or horizontal lines. Especially when photographing architecture, it is important that verticals stay straight.

A Fisheye looks good in maybe 1% of the instances you will have the opportunity to use one. It is a specialty lens that is more for dramatic effect.

Shooting tall buildings with a wide angle lens is a prime candidate for barrel distortion. Don’t be afraid to leave room around the subject and crop down the image, helping you overcome barrel distortion. © Robert Lowdon

The resulting HF is converted into fluorine, fluorocarbons, and diverse fluoride materials. As of the late 1990s, five billion kilograms were mined annually.[2]

When as a photographer, you shoot for a client, things get a little different. Your getting paid for visually representing a location, item or person accurately.

On a 35mm format camera a focal length of 50mm is almost identical to that of the human eye. Coincidentally, what you see is what you get. Furthermore, I strongly believe every person interested in photography should learn on a 50mm lens first before moving on to different lens types. Any lens with a shorter focal length will cause barrel distortion.

Uranium-doped calcium fluoride was the second type of solid state laser invented, in the 1960s. Peter Sorokin and Mirek Stevenson at IBM's laboratories in Yorktown Heights (US) achieved lasing at 2.5 µm shortly after Maiman's ruby laser.

Naturally occurring CaF2 is the principal source of hydrogen fluoride, a commodity chemical used to produce a wide range of materials. Fluoride is liberated from the mineral by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid:

We earn our income by making our subjects look good. So, barrel distortion can really mess up your photography, and it can stop a lot of clients from ever hiring you in the first place.

In 2018 you can use camera raw to fix and overcome barrel distortion use lens corrections, it is awesome. The software has become so good that barrel distortion is far less of an issue.

If you’re an architect, then you know that the devil is in the details. And when it comes to photography, one of the most important details is perspective.

It is also used as a flux for melting and liquid processing of iron, steel and their composites. Its action is based on its similar melting point to iron, on its ability to dissolve oxides and on its ability to wet oxides and metals.

When shooting with a wide-angle lens always avoid putting subject matter in the edges of the frame. Barrel distortion increases exponentially as you move away from the centre of the lens. Photographing a group shot with a wide angle well often turn one or two members into a cone head.

Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is an insoluble ionic compound of calcium and fluorine. It occurs naturally as the mineral fluorite (also called fluorspar), and it is the source of most of the world's fluorine. This insoluble solid adopts a cubic structure wherein calcium is coordinated to eight fluoride anions and each F- ion is surrounded by four Ca2+ ions.[1] Although the pure material is colourless, the mineral is often deeply coloured due to the presence of F-centers.

There’s a lot that goes into taking a great photograph. Composition, lighting, and timing all play a role. But one of the most important elements of a great photo is depth of field. In this blog post, we’ll break down what depth of field is and how you can use it to take better photographs.

I do not want to tell anyone what to do with their photography, that is there decision. If you want to avoid barrel distortion in your photographs here are some tips. Here is 2012 Robert to explain it:

These photographs of tall buildings in Toronto will give you some basis as to what I am talking about. Basically, a convex mirror effect is applied because the lens is bending the light, forcing a larger image area to be recorded on a smaller capture service. Or in super confusing mathematical formula format: R=(a* r ^ 3 + b * r ^2 + c + d).

Shooting a panoramic image allows you to use a lens with a longer focal length yet still capture a wide field of view. I will often shoot two or three image pans so I can create the exact image I want without adding distortion.

Fluorides are toxic to humans, however CaF2 is considered relatively harmless due to its extreme insolubility. The situation is analogous to BaSO4, where the toxicity normally associated with Ba2+ is offset by the very low solubility of its sulfate derivative.

If you're a photographer, chances are you've considered renting a photo studio at some point. After all, having your own space where you can control the lighting and environment can be a great way to get the perfect shot. But is it worth it? Let's take a look at the...

Calcium fluoride is commonly used as a window material for both infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths, since it is transparent in these regions (about 0.15 µm to 9 µm) and exhibits extremely weak birefringence. Furthermore the material is fairly inert chemically so that these windows are not attacked. Nevertheless, at wavelengths as low as 157 nm, which are interesting to semiconductor manufacturers, the birefringence of calcium fluoride exceeds tolerable limits. This problem with birefringence can be mitigated through optimised growth process. It is particularly important as an ultraviolet optical material for integrated circuit lithography. Canon also uses artificially-crystallized calcium fluoride components in some of its L-series lenses to reduce light dispersion. As an infrared optical material, calcium fluoride is sometimes known by the Eastman Kodak trademarked name "Irtran-3," although this designation is obsolete.

Whether it’s an old family photo, a treasured painting, or a vibrant print, adding artwork to your home is one of the most effective ways to make a space feel warm and inviting. But before enjoying your new artwork, you must hang it up!

Simply, objects closer to the camera appear larger and straight lines are curved and objects in background appear smaller and further away.

So, it has been 7 years since I originally wrote this post, “5 Tips to Overcome Barrel Distortion”. I would say I am bit wiser, and a little less “this is the way it is!”
