Re: How do you shoot the Nadir?

You are right about the parallax, Mike Thoby does it well with his
rig, but it is very complex for me and not commercially available. I
am thinking about using two small lazer pointers attached to the
camera to give me the correct distance, Dam Busters style.
Hand holding is very hit or miss. Lowering the shooting rig can be a
help, I am thinking of a short monopod with a weighted base instead of
a tripod.
