Photokina 2006 -- http://photokina.ivrpa.org/
A few intrepid IVRPA members, Aldo Hoeben, Hans Nyberg, and Mike Quan have established the IVRPA "camp" at Photokina. Photokina is a massive event, spread over several buildings, with exhibitors from all over the world. With the "collision" of computers and digital imaging accelerating, companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Nokia are here.
The first event we covered was the Apple presentation of Aperture 1.5. And we'll be posting those images as soon as possible. Check back often for the latest images!

Yes, very cool Photokina coverage!
Robert:
You can set the min/max of your tilt the same way you can with your pan...
Another thing you might try is:
* putting your pano head onto a regular pan head, then tilting the assembly 90°; shoot one "row" as normal, then stitch -- this will give you a cylindrical pano of just the up/down... then use QT Pro to rotate the whole pano 90° back. The default pan controls in QT will make you feel like your head is spinning along the tilt. Ugh.
I'm actually starting on a project that will utilize this. I'm working on getting a longer horizintal arm so I can get well away from the tripod to shoot it. THEN I'm getting the tripod on rails, so I can move a few feet further along and shoot again. This should allow me to stitch in a flat stitch on the normal horizontal plane, plus get the up/down only panoramas.

Thanks Patrick
Patrick,
Thanks, I should have known better :)
These are great, thanks guys!
These are great, quite interesting to see each photographers style too.
A couple of questions, where the IVRPA booth VR? With all the IVRPA people in it?
I also notice that Carlos VR's allow you to rotate completely around the vertical, how is this done?
Best Regards, and enjoy the toys guys!
