Taken by swirling a fisheye lens around. Using color-changing winter lights on Franklin Street, Cambridge, MA.

The colours are a little behind schedule this year, but the reds are really starting to pop in the neighbourhood!
The view from home, facing east... and a little north and south too, I guess... in Burlington, Ontario.
some pictures of the pro-optic 8mm fisheye lens. this one's a canon mount and branded pro-optic, but it is available for nikon and pentax mounts, and possibly others. I believe this same lens is also marketed under other brands, such as bower, samyang, vivitar, and others.
I got mine at adorama, and I have only great things to say about them.
it was $289, which is crazy cheap, if you ask me. the only thing it lacks is aperture control and autofocus. the autofocus is really unimportant due to the nature of the lens though. there's basically 'near' and 'far' the hyperfocal is so big that it doesn't matter.
ken rockwell has a good writeup of this lens on his site: kenrockwell.com. I bought it because of that review, and I have to say I agree with everything he says.
A young Syracuse Crunch fan wanted his picture taken and became the subject of a Fisheye composition in a nearly full Onondaga County War Memorial arena on Saturday, June 1, 2013. He posed while the Crunch was disposing of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins by a score of 7-0 to earn a berth in the American Hockey League (AHL) Calder Cup Finals.
The arena has a curved ceiling and the seats wrap around this end of the rink working with the Fisheye's fun distortion. Click here for more tips on using this lens.
HK - the land of super air conditioning units. And also sweltering heat and humidity.
Take ones lens outside without acclimation and it is instant fog. Seems to warm up from the centre bulge of a fisheye lens out - the glass that is. So get while the going is good and shoot!!!
