Nice job. I too find the jib/spar distracting. And maybe you could trim a bit off the bottom?

I use PSE6 for panoramas, PSE (and PS) used to be useless at stitching, but they have really worked on that and I'm very impressed with it now.

Nice shot Spidey! How did you get it to pose like that - the ones round here don't stay still for a second.
I'd never heard of a Brambling I must confess - but seeing the photo I realise I see them all the time in winter, in my garden and in the local woods.
It is called a Keep in Dutch.

HSM is just their term for SDM, so as montecarlo says the lens is suitable for the K10D, K100Dsuper, K20D and K200d only.

OP/Tech do plastic raincovers cheap. You could buy a pack of two to take with you to provide a bit of peace of mind. I expect somewhere like Jessops stocks them.

Have a look at the Sigma 135-400 or 50-500 APO zooms. It's not 1:2.8, but then you won't need a mortgage to buy it either. Where lenses are concerned, long + fast = astronomically expensive + very heavy.
The Sigma i mentioned can be picked up brand new for less than you pay for a Bigma
True Clarky but it is still only a 20mm lens. What Mannesty says is true for longer focal lengths. No indication of how weavy the beast is either.

Never heard of Glamorgan George?
Is Glamorgan an international side :
You said you didn't know the Welsh played cricket NOT you didn't know there was a Wales cricket team

And there is no grand slam or triple crown in cricket.

Even my rabid England supporting other half was cheering Wales on in the second half. Better Wales wins than the French in his opinion!
I even gave up doing other things to watch, and enjoyed it.

Hmm, that's another 1.4lbs to lug around with me. I'll stick to the hot-shoe bubble I think.

I agree with DAn, it is essential to use one when making panoramas, certainly with a ball head.

They are cheap enough that if you find you don't like it or use it it is no great loss.
