This is part of the Maritime Museum in the Port of Rotterdam - The Netherlands. At and on one of the many quays of this port you will find boats, trains, cranes, etc. that all served in this largest port in Europe in former times. Photo was taken with Fuji camera plus Meike 6.5mm circular fisheye lens with 190° field of view.

So I got my fisheye out of the back of my lens drawer and want to start using it again. It has had too much rest of late! 
Here is one of the so-called Campus Labyrinth on the UC Santa Barbara campus. I also took a shot with the EF 11-24 but didn't quite fit the whole thing in.
This is with the Samyang 12mm F/2.8 fisheye lens. It is completely manual on Canon. It's a fun little lens, not very expensive.

I need a circular fisheye. Always liked the effect. The Canon one is so expensive though. I’ll have to look into the 3rd party full frame offerings.

That is a really great use of the fisheye effect. Love it!Majestic entry to "castle" Zoerselhof (Halle-Zoersel, Belgium) on a foggy day

Most fisheyes can focus ridiculously close so I like to use mine as a wide-angle macro. I find it pretty hard to use, though, as pretty much everything is in the frame and subject isolation is almost impossible. I need to practice more with it!
Still experimenting with using a fisheye lens for wide-angle macro:

On the beach in Goleta, California. Not exactly sure what this thing was supposed to be.
