Re: Top of building pano

[Glenn Barry <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What about elevating the camera over the centre section where the stairs
are using a high reach tripod. If you raise it high enough then you will
get the same amount of the building in the foreground as the other
proposed methods and no stitching problems. It would probably require
some sort of device to enable you to rotate the camera from a remote
position, but if your panorama head has click stops-no problem. Use an
air or remote release to trip the shutter. Final consideration would be
levelling the camera, but if you use a levelling head you could make
some cord controls for the levelling screws which follow the tripod legs
down and improvise a periscope to check the bubble level.

Whaddyareckon???
