Huh, that is the nodal point thing then, the camera axis not my axis.

I also have CS and will probably get CS3.
Thanks, Toine, and thanks Ken.

I haven't gotten into the multi-exposure, stitched panorama yet. Just
single exposure with cropping ... but I thought this worked well, and

Nice view and good scene - would a polarizing filter have cut the haze?

Thanks!
There was a huge amount of water in the air that morning. I doubt a
polarizing filter would have done much, although it might have killed
some of the glare in the earlier exposures done with the 70mm lens.
The light had changed a little bit by the time I fitted the 28mm lens.

In an ideal world, the camera will be on a perfectly leveled tripod, with
the rotation point exactly under the rear nodal point of the lens.

real wide lens just use more overlap.
