The pseudo fisheye look is the result of stitching a triptych taken with an overly wide lens. The 45mm lens on the Pentax 6x7 was approximately equal to a 22mm lens on 35mm film. Gruene Hall is a funky old dance hall. I was fortunate to get in early on a Sunday morning and had the place to myself. However, I was backed up against the long tables that occupy about a third of the building, between the bar & the stage. The wide angle lens was the only one in my bag that afforded enough field of view to capture the entire building from left to right. If I ever get back on a Sunday morning, I will set the camera up on one of the long tables and use a longer lens oriented vertically. On the other hand, the fisheye perspective has grown on me. Thanks for your kind words. Learning as I go.

The wall of the bar was a straight wall.... the curvature seen in the image is a byproduct of stitching a bunch of straight-on images into 1. Ie, the effective image is similar to a Widelux ( Cirkut) swinging lens camera image... Is this all true? Loved the final image.....
