fisheye

Extremely wide-angle optic

A fisheye is an ultra-wide-angle lens that produces a distinctive curved distortion, making straight lines bow outward toward the edges of the frame: The fisheye shot made the skatepark look like a bowl.

The name comes from how a fish might see the world from underwater—everything visible in nearly 180 degrees.

A fisheye is also a suspicious or hostile look: She gave him the fisheye when he walked in late.
