Fisheye lenses are limited in scope.
Although they have few practical applications, they are fun to
experiment with. If you have access to a fisheye lens, try some of
these ideas:
1. Photograph an outdoor scene from beneath an overhanging tree branch
or from under a porch roof or similar structure. This is to prevent the
extremely wide angle of view from leaving you wish just an expanse of
sky in the upper half of your picture.
2. Make two or three tall building bend over and "put their heads
together" by pointing up at them from close by.
3. Create an even closer "circle of friends" in a forest by pointing
your camera straight up from the middle of a clump of trees.
4. Use the fisheye on people and animals. Results can be anything from
charming to grotesque, or perhaps a little of both. Nude figure shots
are often humorously fascinating.
