Fish Eye for the Kitchen Guy


Since starting the blog I have been squeezing into various corners of the kitchen in an attempt to take pictures that would provide visual perspective on the entire room. I finally aquired a fisheye lens for my camera which allows me to stand in one place and capture the entire room by taking a picture that rounds or bends the edges of the image, thus allowing me to capture a wider range of view.

In photography, a fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that takes in an extremely wide, hemispherical image. Originally developed for use in meteorology and astronomy and called "whole-sky lenses", fisheye lenses quickly became popular in general photography for their unique, distorted appearance. They are often used by photographers shooting broad landscapes to suggest the curve of the Earth.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Each of these pictures was taken from an opposite end of the room. The photo on the top was taken facing west; the one on the bottom facing east.

Alan estimates that we'll be finished in about 2 weeks. From here, they will:
  • Finish the cabinets
  • Paint
  • Install the heated floor
  • Get measurements for and install the counter tops
  • Bring in the appliances
