There is a neat fisheye video on b&h that might give you some ideas.

This, to me, is a great example of a fish eye lens shot

That's plain wrong attitude, imo. In my gallery I have like what... three/four shots with fisheye. From 50-ish. This lens should be a sidekick. It's a very good sidekick. Sometimes you have an idea and you know - "I need fisheye for this". It would be stupid to buy such a narrow niche lens to shoot continuously. Fisheye is an extra, you use it when you need it. When my gear still wasn't stolen, I always took my 8mm with me. There could be days or even a week, when that lens just sat in my bag untouched.

I got mine (8mm Samyang) a few weeks ago in preparation for a new nightclub job and I've really enjoyed shooting it - sure, it looks cheesy if you overuse it but there are definitely some situations where it really works well.
