Nope - took the lift. I think the shadow you're referring to is actually that of the tripod![/QUOTE]
Gerald, I'm puzzled -as I'm sure I'm meant to be- where were you when you took the shot?

Sorry Bill, not intentionally trying to confuse people.
The image is actually a "little planet" projection of a full spherical panorama. It's not a single shot - it's stitched from 48 images. At full resolution, that image is over 2 gigapixels.
The tripod is set up on the edge of the helipad, with the camera spinning around the nodal point of the lens about 6 feet off the ground.
Kind regards,
Gerald.
