Sorry about having a broad question but I am just starting out with this so I must start broad. And my broad question led to (what I suppose) are broad answers which is just what I need as a starting point. So, I suppose I will start with some specific questions: What equipment should I get? You say a fish eye lens. Other sites I've looked at in my research recommend an 8mm. Is that good? It has also been recommended I get a nodal ninja. Would you suggest that as well? I there any other equipment you would recommend? You mentioned a "panoramic bracket".... What is a "panoramic bracket"?... my investigation into it shows that this is what a nodal ninja is but I need to be sure that they are the same thing. One thing further when asking around about how to identify the location of my lens "pupil" I was told that it was more or less in the middle of the lens... even with a zoom lens. HOw would I find the pupil with the 8mm (which I will get later) and with a zoom lens (which I have now).
