I receive yesterday the 360° Panosaurus head, to help me creating 360° panoramic photos. This hardware is a must have if you want to create accurate panoramic shoots based on a good nodal point.
This is a first try, with the help of the trial version of Autopano Pro software. Amazing piece of software, I think I will buy it!

I did this shot this last christmass, to test the light pen technic, with a long speed shoot (30 seconds). I use for that a tripod and a LED light and asking my mother to do a kind of Liberty statue pose.
The photo have a lot of noise because of the shoot time, but it has been fun to test. I edit a little bit the photo with Light room 2 which I tested with the Raw file format. Now, I always shoot in RAW, even if the manipulation of the files is a little bit more complex.
