through the eyes of a fish.

One of my favorite lenses is called the fisheye. It is a separate piece that screws onto the end of my Nikon's lens. The fisheye lens is a type of wide-angle lens that offers a unique effect to an image.

I use a 'full frame' fisheye lens, which offers a wide angle view of my subject. Sometimes it's just fun to switch things up and use a different type of lens.

A fun fact: Fisheye lenses are used in door peep holes.

At times, a friend will ask me to take a picture of them with my fisheye that I affectionately call my Fish. "Eugenia, can you use that bubble-type-lens-thing." I always know exactly what they are trying to get at.

This month marks one year of owning my Fish (and only dropping it once).

I love these lenses! I have yet to own one, but I borrow my friends from time to time. They give a great new perspective for everyday things.
