Fisheye lenses have limited use, but sometimes they add a very cool look to a variety of photographic situations. I have been shooting in the Moroccan town of Chefchaouen, referred to as the Blue City, and the colors are so amazing that I felt the distortion produced by the fisheye would add to the outrageous scenes. The Canon 15mm fisheye that I used covers an angle of 180 degrees, and the distortion effect increases as the camera moves closer to the subject. The picture above was taken with an aperture of f/5.6, while the door below was shot at f/8. Even with fairly large lens apertures, the 15mm lens has incredible depth of field -- essentially from a few inches to infinity.
