Fish Eye(s)

So last year for Christmas Megan bought me a Lomotography Fish Eye Camera, which happens to be the world's smallest fish eye camera. Now, its a standard film camera (remember those?) but it has a fish eye lens permanently mounted on the front instead of what you normally find there. As such it ends up distorting the image and light bending it around the curved lens, which results in a round photo, instead of a standard rectangle (see the photos to the left and the right).

Anyway, since then I've played around with it a decent amount and am starting to get the hang of the thing (it's a little tricky but lots of fun). And after the last round of photos came back I decided to scan some to show to folks. The plate on the scanner wasn't overly clean and the quality of the scanner isn't that great so keep that in mind, but even with those it's a cool little toy.

With that being said here are the photos... (Be warned there are kind of alot...)
