A Fisheye lens has an extremely wide angle that takes in a very broad, hemispherical image, lending a neat tiny “round” effect to things.
Fisheyes are the uber-talented “Peripheral Vision Man” of the superhero squad, capturing sometimes up to a 220-degree field-of-view, even though usually it’s more around 180 degrees.
Shooting with your Fisheye Lens
When you’re shooting with your new Fisheye lens attached, keep your regular camera lens zoomed out as much as doable — or if you have multiple lens, stick the one that’s the widest on. Remember to keep the camera lens at the same length when the Fisheye is on — so no zooming! You’ll lose the fisheye effect if you do so.
If you’re going to use your auto-focus while you shoot, go ahead and grant it to focus — but then switch it to manual before you finish taking the photo. The Fisheye throws off your camera’s focusing computer, so it will endlessly keep refocusing and never take the picture.
Love the fisheye effect, but want to use it on older pictures that you took back in the depressing caveman days prior to the DIY Fisheye lens? If you have Photoshop, then try out the Spherize filter; a tiny bit of tweaking yields great Fisheye-like results. Also try out the Pinch and Distort filters — most versions of Photoshop should have all three. If you’re lucky enough to have Photoshop CS3, then there’s a new Fisheye filter that’s even better! There’s also a number of Photoshop tutorials that all make use of some variation on these filters.

Don’t have an SLR? Point-and-shooters can try out the DIY Wide Angle Lens that we wrote about ages ago. It’s really nifty, and gives you a great wide-angle, similar to a Fisheye’s.
Fisheye + Spinning Kids = Too Cool for School. We haven’t tried this for ourselves yet, but we suspect combining the DIY Fisheye Lens with this method of taking photos of spinning kids would yield some pretty nifty results.
