    It would probably look like a cat’s eye from a distance.

    I noticed with Autumn being here and the changing of the leaves that only nature should spot color, fauxtogs should not!

    That is just, just, just, plain old awful… Why would anyone think that is even remotely a good look? Why?

    Okay, so yeah the pic gives me motion sickness. But does anyone know what filter was applied here? Sometimes when I do gallery wraps and either shoot too tightly or want to maintain the entire image, but still do a true wrap, I have to “create” or stretch my image to fill to the guide lines. I’m looking for some new techinques….

      It’s called zooming. It’s easier to get the effect in your photo editor than it is to actually do it in camera. In camera, you have to have a bit of a longer shutter speed and while the image is being captured, either zoom in or zoom out (both give different effects) and make sure to keep the camera very still otherwise it all ends up with motion blur!

        Thank you, ccp and veronica. I’m on ps cs5…I’ve been using ps for 7 years and still have lots to learn! Veronica – absolutely, in camera zooming and/or panning looks better in camera, but takes more skill. I don’t actually want this effect it for my image – just the edges that would wrap around a frame and only be seen from the side. :-)

    This looks a lot like the view I get when I open a portal in space and time.

    That effect might have application to, say, an ad for electronics or some tech thing maybe, but it bears no relation to the subject of THIS photo. Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

    I like the effect, but the posing of the person is awful! The effect is called zooming.
