The fish-eye effect is NOT the result of processing. This is how the shot looked when it came out of the camera. I have done a little work to enhance the sky. The lens is the Sigma (Canon fit) 15mm full frame fish-eye lens. Do not buy this for a cropped sensor it is not supposed to be used for that. You will need to get a wider angle for cropped sensors. This is a great lens for the Canon 5D. See... http://bythom.com/15lens.htm

@scooter - no processing of the fish eye effect. That is how the shot opened up. The fish-eye gets 180 degree vision in one shot. But it creates an extreme curve in the picture to do it.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Cool! The effect reminds me of what they do on TV crime drama to show you what a victim of drugging by the dastardly villain is seeing.

[Natacha Murphy]

this looks really cool. gives a great depth to the shot!

[Netkonnexion]

@dulciknit - great idea - I will drug a few passers-by next time I take out my fish-eye lens. LOL!

Just got over a migraine.... looking at really well done askew images doesn't help stop it from trying to come back. Great job!
