2) same but inside a cavernous building (like the capital building)

The "people scapes" would look terrific IMO. Most people would not realize that your lens has a 180-degree FOV and would act naturally around it (except for the fact that a camera is laying on the ground).

Perhaps better to use a cable release so people know it is yours. Just don't know how you can avoid being too dominant/distracting in the shot that way.

I wouldnt trust it on the ground amidst a bunch of people, $1200 in gear lying out in the middle of the path is too good to pass up i'd think. lol..

Inside a large building would be very cool indeed. The 180 degree fov is cut off a bit on the sides and top, but its quite complete imo. I'd rather have a full 180 degrees. That'd be perfect. Circular photos are so fun to look at. I love looking at shorelines, horizons and such with the camera positioned vertical. Thanks again for the tips! I should post a thread asking for requests and I'll try to get alot done. Other people can participate also with their WA lenses. I'll go do that now!
