The hard part is trying long exposure as it's hard to hand hold at 1/5 secs, at least for me. I know of some who has very steady hands that can hold up to 1 sec of shutter speed. Simply, hold the camera in as close to the original position to when it is mounted to your pano head and remove the whole thing while holding on to your camera. Make sure your legs are not within the area and snap away. Then follow the steps to use Photoshop to cover the bottom area. Time has been a real luxury to me this few months and thus the reason why I am using a mirror ball (http://tinyurl.com/24e9nr) to cover my nadir/ tripod on my last few panos.

I read on some site says : "Now take the camera off the tripod and hold it as close as possible to its mounted position, looking straight down at the ground. Trying very hard not to move the camera, move the tripod away and take the last photo. It's important not to move and to maintain the correct angle to the ground. Make sure the camera strap doesn't hang down into your picture and keep your feet as far out of the way as possible... Yes, this is the hardest part. Don't give up..." is this how you do it ? Have you try it with any fisheye before? how do you de-fish it then ? tq. Daley. Hi,
