Hello Lew, I can not help you, but maybe you can help me. I get the pano
email all the time, sometimes 20 in one day. I wanted to learn about this
type of photography, but I was being flooded with all these emails, and I
was learning the equipment that I have, I have only taken one pano shot, and
I am not sure, it is a real pano. I have a D70, D70s, and a D200, with a
second D200 on the way. I have retired from my real job, and making it
through prostate cancer, to enjoy life, and become a professional
photographer. When you get a chance, can you email me and give me some tips
on how all this works, thanks. Oh yes I have a 10.5 fisheye, but I am not
sure, how to used it?

Subject: New to WWP and Flash question
Hello...my name is Lew and I operate 360 Minnesota, a virtual tour
business. I started and still use a 360 degree lens with a Nikon
8700. I also have the fisheye for the 8700 and I also shoot a Nikon
D70 with the kit 18-70 lens. When I get the funds, I will buy the
10.5. I use a Kaidan Quickpan Pro with a landscape bracket for the
8700/FE and a spherical bracket for the D70, however I just got it
recently and haven't actually used the spherical bracket yet.
My question is with the 8700/FE combination. A local VT photographer
advertises that he shoots his panoramas with a flash. I am wondering
if there is an effective and practical way to use one or two flashes
to help light inside areas. A person on another list who shoots
panaoramas had his house shot by a VT shooter who used a Nikon 990
with two flashes mounted on it. From the flash marks on the woodwork
it appears they were front firing. I would like to avoid the front
firing method to eliminate that problem if possible. I have thought
about a single flash mounted on the camera firing straight back into a
reflector that I could mount on a stand or handhold when firing the
shots? At least I could use a white or silver reflector and keep the
light white vs. bouncing off the opposite wall and/or ceiling?
I am trying to obtain the highest quality of image with the least
labor. At the price point realtors are willing to pay you can't
justify any extra post-processing work but I am compelled to do
something. With my 360 lens images, I generally shoot five and blend
with Photomatix. I don't want to have to do that with five sets of
three fisheye images however, thinking that making a single set of
images lit with flash somehow could provide a proper picture.
Any help on using flash?
Thanks,
Lew
