how do you take pictures like this

I know my Paint Shop Pro has that effect. I would imagine Photo Shop does also. -Trae

the diffence between using the lens and photoshop...

with the lens u get much better quality...

in photoshop it stretches out the pic and u lose the smooth curves and detail.

i have adobe photoshop, where is that feature?

wide angle lens. i'll gettin mine soon. its like 2 bills, tho.

its a wide anlge lens...fisheye i think is a nickname or there is an actual fisheye lens but its a higher end lens and lots more cheddar.....i use one on my video camera.....i think there is some of it on hornblasters.com in my videos so you can see an example of the effect with film

technically they are all wide angle.

.7 no distortion but wide angle
.5 some if you get really close
.25 is true 180 degree site (fisheye)

anywhere from 100 bucks to 1,000 depends on the camera and what kind of quality you are looking for.

so where is the feature in adobe

at all the places ive checked a true fisheye will run you about $499 and in adobe i belive its in the filters section

ive used both and i opt with photoshop most of the time..

tom how do you do it with photoshop? The only thing i have found even close is the filter sphearize.
