While shooting a recent wedding we were presented with the problem of not having enough room to shoot the formal group shots of the whole wedding party. We were shooting the wedding at a local hotel but the room we used to shoot the formals was quite small and not wide enough to a accomodate our lenes. When we composed our images of the group we found the images cotained pillers and posts whch looked very unsitely on the formal shots
Thje only solution was to use a 17mm wide angle lens which enabled us to move in more closer to the wedding party to shoot the images.
We new we would perhaps encounter a fish eye curvature problem to the edge of the images but new we would be able to pull back and striten the images
We use Photoshop CS6 to manipulate our images and we use a filter contained within the software call "Adaptive Wide Angle" which recovers the distortion effect such as fisheye phenomenom created when you get to close to a subject with a wide angled lens
Shown here is some research that I carried out from the Internet which outlines the procedure I use to rectify my images
Before and after images

It is far easier not to let this distortion happen in the first place by moving further back from your subject but some times it is unavoidable when space is at a minimum
