The Fisheye Alternative
Some of you who are interested in DSLR photography have thought about fisheye images and how cool they look and how cool it would be to be able to take them yourself. But if you look at the prices of a fisheye lens they are prohibitively expensive.

Cool Retro-CG project
ALT/1977: WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS What would you do if you could travel back in time? Assassinate Marilyn Monroe? Go on a date with Hitler? Obviously.
