So, I modified my crappy old nokia camera-phone with a small fisheye lens, because the plastic lens-cover broke.     




The lens was salvaged from an old LED torch, that had a spot type beam.
It was just an experiment, since the phone took shitty photos anyway.

Wow, was I suprised!
It won't focus on anything further than 10cm from the lens, however the depth of field effect is wicked. If I had another camera, I'd take a photo of the phone.
Anyway, I spent a day capturing the tiny parts of my neighbourhood.
The results are quite cool.
