I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
The lower two look like 'fish eye' type attachments. Basically a 'filter' that goes in front of your lens. The top one looks like it was taken with a very wide angle lens as opposed to one with a fish eye filter. We use a 10-17mm lense for a similar effect to the top pic on our Canon EOS 350 and 400. Depends what camera you have as to what lense you should get for a similar effect.

The 10-22 is a very nice lense (not cheap tho), but it is a 'normal' wide angle lense, not a fish-eye. I don't even think there are any zoom fish-eye lenses.
Canon do a very good 15mm fish-eye, Sigma have a 15mm too and that's rather good aswell (thats not first hand experiance though) and cheaper. The sigma 8mm is supposed to be good too.
All fish-eye's i know of are not cheap tho, and there are some older ones that don't have auto-focus.
I don't know if you really want fish-eye though, the top pic in your post looks like it is just really wide angled.

Awesome photos I ve just got a 400D and finding out what it can do atm.
If you can use something like a Cokin filter to make the fish eye effect is it worth splashing out on the specific fish eye lens??
Im looking at doing some sports photography which lens would you all recommend?

Peleng do a fairly affordable 8mm fixed lens that seems OK. Worth doing a Google for some reviews to see if it's what you're after
