Scott Highton has a new edition of the popular Virtual Reality Photography Slate Book available at:  http://www.vrphotography.com The book is a spiral bound, pocket size tool that photographers use when shooting both panorama and object sequences.  It provides color and grayscale targets along with a collection of slate forms which you fill out and photograph with each node or series of VR images you shoot.  This aids in both the cataloging and color correction of your images in post production. The book also includes a neutral gray and rectilinear correction target for setting proper exposures (and white/gray balances), as well as for determining whether your lenses are truly rectilinear (as needed by many software stitchers).  Additionally, there are reference charts for FOV (fields of view) and hyperfocal distances (which when used, allow you to maximize depth of field at any aperture). Two features that have been added to the new edition are a collection of tear-out Photo and Property Release forms, along with a description and formulas for calculating camera positions when shooting large objects in the field. 6:32:12 AM
