Always ask permission to use photographs.
I never turn down a request, but I get a bit "itchy" when mine are used without my knowledge.
As noted, the fisheye photos are not mine, but are used with the photographer/owners permission.
It's no more than common courtesy to ask the photographer.
Photography is not free.
I spent at least $25 in gas to go to the location, say nothing of the 100+F temps/sweat they were shot in.
I have scouted that location many times in the past.
Not to worry, I 100% take your comment as a compliment. I love the fisheye shots too!
