Pentax/Samsung 10-17mm fisheye
I have to bring it out sometimes soon. It very hard to force yourself to think so wide though...
Metropolitan Museum fountain
downtown Manhattan
The inside hall of the Time warner center - (All 5 floors of it + the excalator for the lower level...) and columbus cirle just outside...
Thanks to everyone for the inspiring photographs.

My faves so far is RR's castle shot. Amazing sky in that one, how did you get it that colour? Can you use a polariser on one of these lenses?
Nathan's Time Warner shot just about induced vertigo for me! Especially as you can only see the top bit at first, then you scroll down and whoooooaoaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No filters I'm afraid, the blues were given a darker hue when converting with adobe camera raw, althought the same could be achieved after conversion. The 10-17mm is a pretty contrasty lens anyway I've found, but a little curves adjustment never goes amiss.
Here's another from the battlements; it was a spectacular view & a spectacular sky.
Interesting that apart from the tower on the right you can barely see any fishiness in your latest one RR. Is that because it is at 17mm or is it because all the other lines are converging on the centre?

And I have to agree with George, Darkmonk's BW Harbour shot is the standout.
I have had my Fishy for just a few weeks and i'm yet to put it to the test, but after looking at these its given me some good ideas to start with. thanks
