fisheye lens

Hemispherical camera attachment

A fisheye lens is an ultra-wide-angle camera lens that produces a strongly curved, distorted image—straight lines bend outward toward the edges, as if the scene were reflected in a convex mirror or a fish's bulging eye.

The effect can be dramatic or disorienting: The skatepark video used a fisheye lens to capture the whole ramp.

Fisheye shots are common in action sports footage and music videos.
