Pixel,

Nice job mate, good to see some of your studio work. Very nice

Your daughter is a cutie, as most girls are at that age.

Can't say I'm a fan of the Ken Rockwell site , there is a lot of mis-information mixed in with his own weird ideas. Still, it's not all rubbish! But Joe Average I feel will not know where the line is. Like anything, glean what you can from it and then look for "proof" of concept elsewhere "just to be sure".

Regards, Smooth

Thanks Smooth,

I still have a "whole lot" to learn in the studio...whole different type of photography.  Thank goodness she gets her looks from mommy

I will have to agree with you about the Ken Rockwell site however, little one was waking up just as I started my post, so I had to be pretty quick about it.  He does have a good spot on google search with his meta tags, guess I will have to give him that.

Did not intend to high jack your thread Wide-eyes, just wanted to show how determination, practice and reading forums can help you achieve your goals.  Seriously, you know how to shoot panos and blend....a still image will be a walk in the park for you. 

Starting out, I would suggest taking along another lens or perhaps renting a lens on your next pano shoot.  Shoot the still just as you do your pano.  By this I mean leave the same camera settings, bracket exposure, etc.  Post process just as you would a pano...post the results for critique and your on your way.

Again best of luck to you,
