David, If you, or other forum members, are interested in panos you might want to check out Max Lyons site at http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons http://www.tawbaware.com/ptasmblr.htm http://www.tawbaware.com/forum2 PTAssembler comes with a nice tutorial. I have a fairly inexpensive gizmo for rotating around the nodal point too but it takes time to set up. I thought Howard’s recent pano posts were excellent and showed what can be done if you work at it. Max also has a gizmo but it is interesting how many of his shots are hand held.
