Due to a resent back injury, I am condemplating down sizing my camera kit, Canon 1-series with heavy L-lenses.
I have been looking at something like the OM-D from Olympus, as a small lightweight camera, and a set of fast prime lenses. but.....
what about bracketing, controlling the camera remotely... attaching it to the Merlin or other robots.
What do you use, how do you go about doing multiple exposures above and beyond the camera;s own capabilities, such as a Promote (which I do not think is compatible) are they any phone software, for either iPhone or Android? or some other device to solve this problem?
Thanks very much for your time
Henrik
PS: also what lenses do you use and why?
tived wrote:Thanks Klaus,
I guess I am a sucker for fast glass, I don;t think i have anything slower then f/2.8 for normal shooting I love the shallow dept of field... but some of this may have to be reasset.
The 5D isn;t that much lighter then the 1D.... is it? ohh, yes it is, just compared it to the 5D Mk I,
I guess, I could get a new 5D Mk III, and use it with my current gear if that does not go - pass it to my partner and she can replace her 5D Mk II
but lighter lenses? Hmm
As for DOF, I usually will shoot my pano's at f/8-11, occationally I have dropped down to faster f-stops as it had gotten darker, to get the shot faster, but I have learnt that its a little selfdefeating
I very much like your 85mm pano, its very good! You do good work, very natural looking
thanks

Do you use the set to manuall focus, turn of/turn on camera = hyperfocal distance logged in, trick of the Pana stable as well......now that is a great idea......allbeit a non documented one.

But having said that for the moment I'm not selling art in 2 x 3 meter size, so my V750 will have to do.

It takes a folder and searches it for image files. By analysing the pictures, it attempts to divide them into panorama sets. The output will be the Panotools projects for actually stitching them.
In short : it finds panoramas in the supplied pictures, creates the panorama project files for them and adds sets of control points ! Easy, for lazy people.
