Sometimes trying to make that special photo shot look creative takes more than some morphing in PhotoShop. What happened to creative lens trickery and using light (or lack of it) to our optical advantage when taking really cool photographs?

All is not lost, it seems. By using an old pair of glasses and some carefully-placed tape, you can have that cool and creative fisheye effect on those photos with a few minutes of your time and at zero cost, provided you have some old positive-style (far sighted) eyeglasses lying around. No need for that special (and expensive) fisheye lens for that digital SLR camera sitting on the shelf.

Basically, you tape the removed lens from those eyeglass frames onto the end of your normal SLR lens (very carefully) and see what kind of fisheye effect you can achieve on those photos. This may not be the most elegant solution for that $1,000 camera setup, but it may produce some cool effects nonetheless before you plunk down more cash for more lenses that may only see occasional use.
