Fast shooting is not always the solution. Observing the people around you and shooting in
the right moment is better.
And of course you should do blending by hand in photoshop usually to avoid ghosting.

The Mac store was made at 800 asa and 1/2 sec and he used a tripod.

A shaved Nikkor 10,5mm is one which has been brutally "shaved" with a saw or similar to
remove the sunshades.
This means you get a full circle fisheye which on a fullframe Canon (w adapter) gives you
140 degree on the short side and around 194 in the full circle.
If you are accurate you can shoot a full cubic in 3 shots and as the 10,5mm is very sharp
even at full aperture you get superior quality.
