Re: Camera Obervations from a workshop

Actually, no: not any head. The whole point of a panorama head, or the Monoball or GP, is that the rotating platform is level so that you can make multiple exposures without the horizon going off-level. Correcting off-level horizons in multi-exposure panoramas with post processing causes a

Or any head with a bubble level. But the Pentax in-camera level makes it a mute point. And unless the error is egregious, correcting the horizon in rendering takes only seconds. Paul via phone > On Sep 10, 2016, at 7:31 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: > > Godfrey DiGiorgi

It's for situations like this that the Arca-Swiss Monoball and Acratech GP heads excel. Level the camera on the head and the orientation of the tripod column doesn't matter. G > On Sep 10, 2016, at 3:38 PM, John wrote: > > When doing panoramas, having a level that

It does, yes, but I find I only need it rarely anyway. And to turn it on, I have to change a drive mode, then I forget to turn it off, etc. The camera I found it most useful with was the Oly E-5. I set it to a two-frame capture, first at nominal, second at +.7. That was perfect. :-) G > On

Kind of interesting to me that people even mention such things. I didn't have cameras with in-built level indication until recently (I think my Olympus E-5 in 2010 was the first), same for multi-exposure bracketing. I just brought along a bubble level and did my own bracketing when needed.

Camera Obervations from a workshop

I recently attended a 5 day photo workshop in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan along with 10 other participants. As usual I was the only Pentax equipped photog, the rest were all Canon or Nikon users. I was surprised to hear the comments some of the participants had about their cameras
