Create fisheye effect to photo

Fisheye is one of the style in photography that makes a photo look like the point of view from fish perspective (distorted and wide angle). In order to get this kind of photo, you need a special lens called fisheye lens. In this tutorial I won't use fisheye lens but using photoshop to create a fisheye effect to the photo.

Before going to tutorial, here is the example of the REAL fisheye photo.
