About the image

This aviation - aerospace image was captured in the installation department of Epps at PDK airport. The purpose of the shot was to document the avionics upgrade of a Pilatus PC-12 for a video project.

While observing the technician work, a small area caught my attention as a potential location for the camera. To capture this unique angle, I thought to position the camera below the floor level. All of the interior and most of the floorboards had been removed which allowed me to put the camera well below the floor.

After a few minutes of experimentation, I was finally able to put the camera positioned in the small area by removing the lens, then placing the camera body into the small cavity, then attaching the lens. I started using a 14mm lens, which is an extreme wide angle lens. After trying a few shots, I decided I needed to use an 8mm to 15mm zoom Fisheye lens.

So I removed the lens and camera and I changed the lens and added a shutter release cable and an HDMI cable that was attached to a 7" monitor. Adding the monitor allowed me to see what the camera was capturing and allowed me to focus. I also added a shutter release cable to allow me to take a photo easily. After returning the camera and installing the lens I was able to focus, and see the field of view.

I adjusted the zoom to 14mm, which is as wide as this lens will allow without vignetting on the corners. One may think that a change from 15mm to 14mm is not a major change, but it is. Now if the lens was an 85mm lens, a 1mm change would not be noticable, but from 15mm to 14mm is a change you can clearly see.

All of this was to achieve a unique and unusual point of view to make the photo more interesting and different. Finally, during post-processing, the rounded look of the fish-eye lens was removed to give the image a flat field or rectilinear lens look, which is what most people are used to seeing.spacer

For Photographers

The Gear: Canon 5D MKIII at 10,000 ISO, 1/30 second shutter speed using a Canon 8-15mm fisheye zoom lens set to 14mm using f7.2 connected to a 7" SmallHD monitor via an HDMI cable using a remote shutter release cable.

The Light: An LED work light and ambient.spacer
