What is the normal use of a fisheye lens?

Thanks everyone for the advice. Since I've already got a bunch of images I'll try the stacking/foreground insertion method.
A fisheye produces the round effect YOU see in your image, see image, where as the one of the car shot with my 14mm Nikkor is similar to rectilinear, what a rectilinear lens would look like

Believe it or not the car was shot from just 12" in front

Meaning with a wide angle rectiliniar lens you get the full sky in BUT flat not curved/distorted
