Fish-Eyed Freak
I bought a standard door peephole lens for $4.50 at my local hardware store today and held it in front of my digital camera. I then set the camera for maximum zoom and the auto-focus did the rest. Try it sometime and take a few pictures of your family and friends. It’s good for a laugh. Here are three photos of me taken through the home-made fish-eyed lens.
Click images to enlarge. Apparently you can get better results if you set the camera for macro. I forgot to do that.

Very nice. But I’d hate to be the one responsible for picking that nose. It could be an all-day job.
Man, I thought your brother was a Milhouse lookalike. I was totally wrong!
I should have taken a photo of me without the fish-eyed lens for comparison. The closer you get to the lens, the more distorted the image becomes. The first one was taken about an inch away from my nose. The other two a little further out, but still very close.
