The sky overlaps can be blended with PhotoShop. What caused the departure from the perpendicular on the right side? Just out of personal curiosity, does this series of photos have to be > taken at high noon in order to get uniform lighting in all directions? > > Jim Nichols Well it was 1930 lt .The sun does not climb very high here so there would be only uniform lighting in overcast conditions. The idea is to make the picture when there is a dramatic sky like towering cumulus or even cumulo nimbus.We need to be carefull with lightning protection. On these tries we did use a 25 red filter to darken the sky somewhat. The odd shape was just to see what things look like if you rotate the frames in photomerge to keep horizontal lines straight somewhat. As Don Dory pointed out we will have to give the mapping more thought if we stay with these cameras.There are panorama cameras for rent here so those would probably be a better choice.We,ll have to try and see what gives the most detail eventually. Thanks for looking simon jessurun
