Hey everyone,

I need your expertise on this photo

Does this kind of shot need some special lens? Or can we do this with photoshop effects?

Tried this with an 18-200mm lens but didn’t get the effect at all (where the shoes are on focus but still get the whole body)…i’m newbie and wanted to get the effect like the above photo…Any thoughts?

Hi Michelle – You’ll need a wide angle or fisheye lens to get this effect.

A “Sigma 10-20 f/4” 2nd hand would be around €280-340
This is a pretty good lens – and also great for landscapes.

There are quite a few on adverts.

Hope this helps – bren
