Hi all,

Im new to this but can someone tell me how to do the 'concave' at the bottom of the photo? Must use a different lens? And what kind of shots is suited for this type of shooting?

The "concave" in this series is due to the Fisheye lens.

Hi ME New, welcome to CS and glad you like those shots.
Go there earlier to get a good spot if you don’t have ticket.

Decide what you wish to capture (close-up shot or the entire event in W.A)
In this case, I just armed with a FE lens without tripod and flash.

I was using D200, the max ISO that I would set to prevent grainy pix is ISO 800.
Not a problem for higher ISO if you are using D300, D700 or D3.
