Re: Top of building pano

[Bruce Anderson <bruce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glenn,

Thanks, yes this is really what I would like to do.  If we could get the
camera up there, then we would be happy.  I'll know if it's possible when I
go and see the building this week.  We would costwise have liked to take hte
pano with a 990 Nikon, and the problem there is, there is no shutter release
cable released yet for it (I beleive).  So we'd have to use a different
camera.

Cheers
Bruce
