Fisheye fun

I was asked to work on a photo shoot for Spin the Bottle Jr. this weekend, and Bret specifically wanted a fisheye effect they used for a previous show. So I went out to Glazer's and rented a fisheye lens.

A fisheye is something I've wanted to play with for a long time, but could never justify. They're pricey lenses: I found a used one for $450, and the new ones run for $650 and up. So the opportunity to rent one was more than I could pass up.

So without further ado, let's move on to the pictures, shall we?

And that's only what I came up with in the first few hours of my temporary ownership of a fisheye lens...
