A wide-angle shooting apparatus includes a convex surface structure which
reflects light from outside, a concave surface structure having a first
polarizing device which permits the light from outside to be transmitted
and reflects the light reflected by the convex surface structure. The
concave surface structure is positioned before the convex surface
structure. The apparatus also includes a second polarizing device which
permits the light reflected by the concave surface structure to be
transmitted and shielding direct light beam transmitted through the
concave surface structure. The second polarizing device is positioned at
a part to which the light reflected by the concave surface structure is
concentrated. The apparatus further includes image-shooting device which
receives the light transmitted through the second polarizing device and
shoots an image.
