basically that lense you link to is a fish eye lens. It distorts the middle of the image and allowing more of the sides of the image to show. Fish eye lens are fun to use once in a while because it can help you focus and highlight the object in the middle and what you focus on. But i seldom ever use it. There simply is too much distortion and gives the image a weird stretch shape.


This picture is a super wide fisheye lens aimed at the ground. The wide angel of the lens lets you capture the horizon otherwise missed with a regular lens.



here is how a fish eye lens is used in car photography.



Those pictures are extreme examples. With your camera, it can never reach that wide of an angel. Your camera is rated at 28mm and those pictures are taken at 8-10mm.
