Frankly, if that was my strategy for getting ultrawide shots, I think I'd miss more than I got. - In some cases, because the circumstances (weather, light) change before I can get everything set up and execute the panorama - In other cases, because I'm disinclined or prohibited from carrying a tripod where I'm going - In other cases, because I'm not sufficiently "sold" on a shot (in advance) to go through the effort -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
