I appreciate that this is severe overuse of a fisheye, but it's the first time I was using it so wanted to get used to the way the perspective shifts etc. Kept it on the camera pretty much all day, I think I've got used to it now and know roughly what it's going to do in certain situations. Really amazed at how subtle shifts can make such big differences, and in some cases you can almost completely 'de-fish' a scene by framing it in certain ways.

Anyhow, comments welcome, all taken with a Nikon D90 and Nikon 10.5mm 2.8 Fisheye, no perspective correction or anything...

Nice set there. Interesting to see what a fish eye lens does as it's something I have never really looked at before.

Love No.4 looks very good. Almost forgot about the fish eye lenses, something different for a change.

I think those are all really excellent use of a fishy. Certainly looks like good control too.

Thanks, very kind comments. Thought the hut one was overkill actually, but people seem to like it which surprised me a little. #1 is my personal favourite from the day.

Not 100% sure what you mean, but it's fixed at 10.5mm and there are no adjustments that you can make that I'm aware of.
