I can get into Photomode but can't work any of the controls once I'm in there. All I can do is take a pic from the back of the car where the first camera is facing. I can not move the camera or walk around at all. If I really want the pics bad enough, I have to save the replay then reboot the GT5 game with a SIXAXIS Wireless controller. Is there any way of using the "Driving Force" Wheel in photomode?

Don't think so, I have a Driving Force Pro wheel and find that I have to use the DS3 controller.

Your best bet is to use the DS3 as controller 1 and your wheel as controller 2 if you wish to race and take photos in the same session.
 
You can´t use the DFGT in Photomode, because the walking around is mapped to the analog sticks. However, as DrSibo said, just connect a DS3 and map it to be the first controller by pressing the PS-Button (long enough to skip the jump to the XMB but instead reach the controller settings). Then, the DFGT automatically moves to the second controller spot. Once done, the mapping stays this way for the whole play session. Works perfectly for me. Most of my pictures I take outside of photomode.
 
Yup - have to have the DS3 controller set to #1 - though I am not sure why mine keeps resetting itself to #2 controller everytime I reboot my PS3... hmmm

Controller-to-controller-slot mappings are only valid until you switch off the PS3. I assume you have the DFGT connected to your PS3 at all times. Thus, it will be recognized as an input device right in the moment your PS3 boots up. First controller, first spot.
 
Ok, what I did was since I had already rebooted with the SIXAXIS anyway I simply plugged my wheel into the second controller port on the PS3 and configured it "my" way in GT5 and it all works perfectly. Once again, thanks Boys I really appreciate the help.
