Normally I roll my eyes when I see fisheye shots. Curry House is a gem though...its the figure down the street that makes it for me.

I agree, fisheyes are instruments of sentimentality, too easy. But thanks.

I really like the straight edge of the old holding jail.

I enjoyed old courthouse and curry house as the use of shapes was captured well with the fish eye. It gives one the sense of movement.

I find that Old holding jail is really just a picture of a wall and does not make good use of the frame.

Your thoughts Don?

With fisheyes half the battle is finding subjects that fit.
