The fisheye picture was taken with my first digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 990. The fisheye lens attached to the front off the lens.

This is a picture I took with a fisheye lens some years back.
My first post here and I'm enjoying the site.
Did something similar in 2009. I am not sure if this area is still accessible. Like the fisheye look.
Bob, very nice picture.
Yeah the fisheye look is different, it's not the kind of lens that you can use everywhere.
When I took the picture, the ground under the tower was just dirt and full access. This was in summer of 2000, a very innocent age.

Eifle Tower? Space Needle?
The perspective makes it look like you were shooting up from inside a manhole.

looking up from the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. Fisheye lens?
Correct, well, all except from inside a manhole. I'm not eve sure there was one there. Need to check other pictures.
I think there are several "manholes" but I don't think there is one directly under the center of the tower. This was my version of the shot (standing and looking straight up):

Welcome to the Hog, Denys! My instant thought was that you're lying on the ground under the Eiffel Tower!
Thank for the nice welcome.
