Looks good Cutter... By the way, what camera and lens are you using? I really need a super wide-angle like that...
Reality? What a concept!

DestinDave I am shooting with the Nikon D50 and a 10.5mm fisheye lens. I needed a lens that could capture close to a 180 degree field of view while shooting inside the trailer and this setup works very well.

Chris

Very nice. I've been looking at a Canon 20D for a while now since I've already got other Canon bodies. Canon has better bodies, Nikon has better glass... what to do, what to do?
Looking forward to more pics from you...

Just got a Rebel XT, from I've read it has a detuned version of the 20D CMOS sensor. For what I'm shooting, it is a real bargain. I chose the Canon because I currently have a Canon point & shoot (S-70). I'm already familiar with the software so the learning curve won't be as steep. Plus since they both use the same batteries, charger, and flash memory I can swap between thm.
