Fisheye minimalism 1

Okay, now that fisheyed gargler Tor decided to make me take minimalistic photos with a bloody fisheye lens! Heck, I thought, now i have to remove Taj Mahal from my shots in post-processing again (the fisheye being so wide, it always captures Taj Mahal, regardless of your position on the globe). I tried to shoot some gateways and white walls, but it was impossible to not get some extremely irritating edges on the shots. I ended up with 2 photos which turned out very well, in fact. They are of the insides of some hugargantic cable reels (behind which i later peed). The first one actually had some details in the white spaces, but I decided to photoshop that away, as I'm sure you can see on the final result if you look closely on the edges. Not sure if the last photo really can pompously call itself minimalistic, but considering it's taken with a fisheye lens it can at least call itself fisheye-minimalistic. On both shots i put my lens inside the hole directly opposite on the reel from the small center-holes in the shots. The walls inside those holes is what's creating that nice vignetting effect.
