Yeah, gotta love a fish, they're a lot of fun, they give a real carnival effect. I've got the Canon 15mm f2.8 fish, it's my favourite lens. It's worth shooting close at maximum aperture, the DOF is surprisingly shallow despite the F/L.

Get closer Dave! About 1cm off the nose makes some great shots! Or a forehead shot is often a good laugh too! I love messing about with a fisheye.

Should do some excellent startrails too.

Not yet, but I intend to. Here's one I took in the front yard @ f2.8, you can see the DOF is still shallow enough for good effect.
