Thanks for calling me out on my own hypocrisy. =)
I have lots of notes for future articles, but I haven’t taken the time to take/find complementary photos and gel them into something good. If there’s anything you want to see/learn about… let me know. It might just be the kick in the pants that I need (at the very least I can offer some pointers).

The key to keeping the model still is finding a pose that is relatively comfortable for them and then moving yourself to make the scene work. I usually take a burst of 2-3 photos per angle to compensate for my or the models slight movements and I like to try at least one other angle per pose if I can. If do a simple pose, like hand on a building, and you're not overly picky you can get a fun shot on the first click. As for wide angle lens, I assume you mean a wide angle rectilinear zoom? I chose the Canon EF-S 10-22. Mostly because it had better than most barrel and pincushion distortion control throughout the range (It may seem odd with site like this, but I'm not a big distortion fan). But there are some others that offer some interesting options... the Sigma 10-22 is the cheapest and well reviewed. Tokina makes one with one with a f/4 throughout the range. For fisheye you can get a zoom Tokina 10-17 (which is somewhat not fishey zoomed in which is plus), and Sigma makes 10mm fish. If you want a circle fisheye on a cropped sensor camera you only good option is the Sigma 8mm. For reviews (besides Amazon) I like: Fred Miranda Reviews The Motley Pixel

Thanks for the post Alison, I plan on doing some HDR, but my first articles are probably going to be the Photoshop method, and possibly the faking it method. I really liked the trial I had of Photomatix. It made it really easy to get great results, but a full copy of that has to take a back seat to some other things on my wishlist.

i did forget to ask… do you have a recommendation for a wide angle lens? IS there a good site you recommend to compare camera accessories and all that jazz?

That’s really cool. But how do you keep the model still while you do this? How many shots do you usually go through to get that perfect one? My favorite is the kicking the barn one.

I’m greatly surprised that this domain was even available. I really need to get my butt in gear with my dead web design tricks n tips site. I want to turn it into a blog/article thing as well.

So will we see any HDR photography in the mist of things? I’m totally into this! I can’t wait for the posts to start coming in and trying it out.
