Do, it's good fun and it can teach anyone a lot about composition which is so much more difficult when you have to account for 360 degrees AOV than just the relatively narrow angle that even a fisheye can capture.

Hi Paul, Yes it is a lot of fun, just don't go trying to produce one with WA lenses if you haven't attempted to compensate for parallax error in the tripod head, stitching then becomes a nightmare. I've got mine nicely set up now, it's easy to dial in compensation for any particular lens. So now I can shoot panos with subject matter at any distance from the lens easily. Good luck, I look forward to seeing some of your attempts :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
