After the experiment a couple of days ago with the fisheye photo of the dryer, it occurred to me that it might make a good 3D photo. I’ve never tried a fisheye 3D photo, so I thought I’d try it out. I’m not sure it works well though. I thought the reflections might look cool in 3D, but instead I think they just confuse the whole thing. What do you think?

I definately want to try a fisheye 3D photo on a more suitable subject, however.

A fisheye photo of the inside of our clothes dryer.
Both the camera and the flash were held just inside the door. The flash was below the camera in the blind spot for the lens caused by the cropped sensor. The head was angled down to shoot at the (camera) bottom of the dryer. This made all the light bounce around nicely and minimising the hotspot reflection.
I love the science-ficion look to the photo. This is enhanced by the exaggerated saturation of the colours, which came out of the camera subdued, but I enhanced because I liked the look.
This is part of a series of unusual fisheye perspectives of ordinary objects. Here are the others from the series:
The mailbox.
The oven.
The washing machine.
Behind the steering wheel.
The dishwasher.
The fridge.
The microwave.
We paid a visit to Darren and Colin this evening to see their new house, after they have renovated it. It looks fantastic! I took a few photos around the place, a couple of which can be seen here. After dinner, Darren and I went outside to take some photos.

If you have seen Darren’s entry in the View From Below project, you’ll understand that I was keen for him to show me the location where he took his shot. Despite some flash problems I had, I enjoyed shooting in this wonderfully textured, dark, grungy location.
