Tdew,

Thank you for posting that information. I worked at a school and have lots of pans of assemblies of kids. Sure wish I knew this one a lot earlier. So easy too!

I watched the short video because my son owns a camcorder, but it dawned on me while watching that some version of this might help when doing panoramas. The next time I do one, I'll experiment with a rubber band.

Thanks for the link.

Very good tip.

And I bookmarked that site too. There's lots of other good tips to learn about.

TNX for the tip.
It is just in time. Next sunday I will leave for a 2,5 week holiday in France and I can borrow the camcorder of my sister.

So I have to practice the use of the rubber band and I have to practice with some photostuff I bought last friday.
- Nikkor 18-200 AF-S DX VR lens
- External flasher (SB-600)

It will be a bussy week.
