Fledgeling Photographer: 8mm Project

This project came about somewhat accidental.
A few weeks ago, I rented a Sigma 8mm/f3.5 Fish-eye lens from a local photo shop here in town. The idea was to actually play around with it more than I’d gotten to the month earlier, when I rented it for a single day.
One of the days I had the lens, was a deck-warming party at a friend of mines’ house. I had recently read about making time-lapse videos online, and decided to take advantage of the 180 degree field-of-view:
In addition to the ~350 images it took to make the video above, I took about 150 other still images as part of this experiment.
