I use fisheye lenses sparingly. They are great for photographing things that are round, such as a spiral staircase, the dome in a cathedral, and so on. But when they start curving horizontal and vertical lines, you have to be judicious and critical in how you use them. For this panoramic view of Hvar Island in Croatia, I tried it out and liked the result particularly because of the colors in the 'blue hour' of dusk and twilight. Fisheyes have incredible depth of field, so f/8 was enough to capture every part of this composition with tack sharp clarity, even the immediate stone wall in conjunction with the distant horizon. I used 200 ISO and the exposure was one full second from a tripod.
