I went ahead and bought the M 28mm 2.8 David and so far its not bad. Its been touted as a poor landscape lens outside of F8 but we shall see

I must look at your panos David

Another quick question!

Ive been going through all the settings on my k-5 today (bored.com) Not being one to look at the manual I just dive straight in.

Two things have just occurred to me about bracketing and HDR's

1) Is it possible to burst fire your bracketed exposures? i.e. -2 -1 0 +1 +2 etc I usually choose Aperture priority - perhaps its only achievable in Menual?

and 2) Can you apply mirror up when doing exposure bracketing?


Thanks

Having done a lot of research it seems there are plenty of people out there who succesfully do panos with great results NOT using an expensive head.

The points I seem to be getting are:

- keep the bubble centred on the tripod
- try and use a lens around 50mm
- take plenty of snaps
- make sure the camera is vertical

As long as there isnt too much in the foreground you will get away with it

Im going to try some at the weekend

thanks guys - going to get the panosaurus

Can someone help me with please

Im getting a bit confused and need some help with this

Please check this link

Can this fit on ANY tripod - dont know if this will fit on the Redsnapper tripod I am thinking of getting and CAN I remove ballheads from any tripod and stick this one on for example?

AND how do I attach the Panosaurus to my K-x?

A lot of questions but need help!

Thanks in advance

Thanks KH for the reply

The thing is I do want to have foreground interest in my shots which I think is very important for the interest of the shot.

Ive used microsoft ice and think its fab software but i am noticing paralex errors

Does anyone know a good tripod, ball head and plate set up for this kind of thing?

HI guys

This year ive decided to put my wildlife shooting to the back burner and concentrate a little more on my landscapes. I have just spoken to joe at Redsnapper and hes given me the low down on my new tripod and ball head i am thinking of buying.
However, there is something that I need help with or perhaps it wont be a problem at all.

How do you fix or is there a "pano head" /slider for doing a good panorama image?

I know its not something everyone likes to use and some might say I wont use it often enough and not to worry but I have been practicing and I think I might enjoy it a lot! I think it would be terrific for the mountains and seascapes.

Can anyone help me with this pano slider or do I need to just get clicking and not worry too much?

Any thoughts on the subject GREATLY appreciated

Great images David - Although I dont have the 55 300 I have used my 150 500 for landscapes and couldnt agree more with the results. sometimes they do look a little cardboard / 3D but its an effect that I like.

Look forward to seeing more of your images

A great image - agreed great comp
