I have a business trip to Loehne, staying nearby in Bad Oeynhausen, October 8-17. If there are other panoramic photographers nearby who would like to get together over a beer (well, I should say "bier") or three, I would be interested in meeting you some evening.
I have been shooting panoramas for several years, starting with a Nikon Coolpix 990 and FC-E8 fisheye and moving up to a D200 and 10.5 mm fisheye.
If you would like to see some of my work, check the "panoramas" pulldown on my web site,
http://www.mtritter.org for several examples or look through some of the more recent trip reports under the "highpointing" pulldown, as well.
