100 Fantastic Photos Taken With a Fisheye Lens

100 Fantastic Photos Taken With a Fisheye Lens

Today we’re going to focus on a wonderfully distorted area of photography: fisheye shots. Fisheye lenses are essentially extreme wide angle lenses that were originally developed for meteorological purposes but are now used by all sorts of photographers.

As you can see in the images below, the applications are endless and are seldom boring! Hopefully you’ll leave feeling inspired to pick up your own fisheye lens or a (considerably cheaper) fisheye converter.

    Wonderful!

    I do like the fisheye effect so much, you made my day!

    All my Peleng pictures can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trypode/sets/72157604542039337/

  2. Keaton says:

    Interesting that people tend to look up with a fisheye lense. After looking at 100 photo’s half of them the sky, i’m wondering if there are any collections looking downward?

  3. shxxx82 says:

  5. Dave says:

    There’s some really cool shots in there, but there are at least two that aren’t fisheye lenses – one is a spherical projection panorama and the other is simply taken out of an airplane window…..

  6. Edward Allen says:

    A wonderful set of images. Outstanding creativity.

  7. Jesse says:

    Fisheye work is such a blast, though the 15mm I’ve used doesn’t give the full effect on a 1.6x sensor. Still, it’s such a blast.

  12. Some great shots here. I love how when done well fish eye shots can really make you feel like your in the scene.

    I found that placing my camera with an 8mm fisheye into the washing machine produces interesting images. Just make sure the machine is off!

  16. that is beautiful. absolutely inspirational

  17. All of them are stunning shots. I’ve never take good photos with a fish eye lens before so this post is my inspiration.

  18. pierofix says:

    Thank you very much for adding one of my fish-shots in this awesome gallery (and amazing site – I always visit this network in search of inspiration).

    These are my other fish-shots, analog and digital: http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=93726493%40N00&q=fisheye+fun&m=text .
