Before we went to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, I ordered a fisheye lens.  
Unfortunately, it did not come in time, but I kept it anyway.  I tried to 
use it on our trip home and here are a few examples.

And one from above Bishop in the Eastern Sierra Mountains.

Kind of fun.  Not for everything, mind you, but interesting.  I bough the 
12mm/2.8 Rokinon for Nikon mount.  Not without it?s faults, but worth the 
money.

Comments welcome.
