Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
In this one the aim is to use your camera/lens setup to shoot something that isn't what most people would think that camera/lens is used for.

Add in the camera and lens make, model.

I'll start.

Sunset.

Good idea. I'll have a crack at this later.
 
..just noticed this theme,

Poor guy's macro..

I'll give you a couple where the substance used for the filter is not in its intended role:
Using an old floppy disk (sorry about the finger tips)

ans using an old end from a negative strip:

Both shot using a full spectrum converted Panasonic GF2 using an olympus 17mm/2.8 lens.

A more recent example uses a pencil case as a filter but I don't have that one on-line :)
 
This one probably qualifies too, using a telescope eyepiece as a 'close up filter':
Knot macro by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr

Shot using a 40mm eyepiece in front of a DA18-55 (at the telephoto end) mounted on a Pentax K100d, the image on the sensor being about 1.5x lifesize.

Maybe more in the spirit of the intended use of the thread I can offer a fisheye used for motorsports:
