It adds a bit of perspective. Fisheyes are great for star shots and sports stadiums, btw.

Looks like the Texas capitol building. I haven't been there in ages. There's a really cool live oak on one side that I've been meaning to photograph the next time I go.

My husband gave me the Canon 8-15 last Christmas. I don't use it often, but it's really fun when I do.

My new toy arrived--but it's still in the box. Going to have to put the CD in to figure out how to
use it.

turning the water to the toilet off, flushing it to empty the bowl and putting the camera on it's back facing the ceiling. Use the self timer and leave the room.

Of course, there are other possibilities with this shot . . .
