tbutler | Experiments with a Fisheye

My big indulgence with this year's tax refund was a cheap fisheye lens. Fisheyes are known for creating very wide angle pics with an optical design that warps the image; most people I've seen using them want the wide angle and try to eliminate the distortion, but when I had one in the past I always loved trying to embrace the warping for artistic effect.

Off to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art!

I've been going to the Nelson since a grade school field trip - but while I've gotten decent pics of individual exhibits, I've never been able to capture the feel of being there in a way that satisfied me. Until now; the 'wrap-around' fisheye effect finally lets me feel like I'm inside the picture.
