fisheye lenses
Extreme wide-angle equipment
Fisheye lenses are ultra-wide-angle camera lenses that capture an extremely broad field of view—often 180 degrees or more—while producing distinctive barrel distortion that curves straight lines toward the edges of the frame.
The effect resembles how a fish might see the world through a curved water surface.
Photographers use them for dramatic architectural shots, action sports, and artistic effects: The skateboarder filmed his trick with a fisheye lens.
