Fisheye Clouds
Two cloud images from last summer in Maine - this one taken with a fisheye lens.
"The term fisheye was coined in 1906 by American physicist and inventor Robert W. Wood based on how a fish would see an ultrawide hemispherical view from beneath the water (a phenomenon known as Snell's window). Their first practical use was in the 1920s for use in meteorology to study cloud formation giving them the name whole-sky lenses." - Wikipedia.
PLEASE NOTE - BE VERY CAREFUL if you are shooting the sky with a fisheye lens and using an optical viewfinder - the sun will often be in the frame, even if it is low in the sky or at your back. I would recommend using live view for framing...
