Hm, 186 photos is a lot. I have EVF (Finepix S9600) where my shortest focal lenght is 28 mm. I am going to buy a DSLR in next few years but I was curious if it is also possible with my current camera. I looked on some fisheye lenses (plans for future) but they are soooo expensive!!! Luckily I also found some lenses like Fish Eye Peleng 8/3,5 which is relatively cheap.
So I will try "normal" HDR panoramas and with "planets" will wait for fisheye :-) thanks On 4 pro, 23:27, slaterson <[email protected]> wrote: > On Dec 2, 1:18 am, Heliooos <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I am using Hugin for a short time and discovering its features step by > > step.
