If your subject is a panorama without objects in the foreground (a landscape) handheld shots are no problem. Camera on manual, horizon in the middle of the frame and 30-40 % overlap. Try to rotate around the center of the camera (you shouldn't rotate around the axis of your body if possible) Toine ========== Huh, that is the nodal point thing then, the camera axis not my axis. (Haven't had time to look at Mark's page yet). I also have CS and will probably get CS3. Thanks, Toine, and thanks Ken. Someone also sent me this link off list about how to build a panoramic tripod head. Which would be great except that I don't have access to wood work tools and also am not great with saws. There are old guys in this community who like doing stuff like this though and maybe I could talk one of them into it. Bat my eyelashes and stuff. Uh, well, maybe. Maybe not. http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Panoramic-Tripod-Head Marnie aka Doe :-) --------------------------------------------- Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
