is worth two in the bush, or some such  Canon DReb Sigma 500 f4.5 Since I have gotten the Manfrotto gimbal mount my keeper rate, with the big glass, has really gone up. It coupled with the big Giottos tripod is outstanding |

Rick,
As you know I've got the Giottos down from yours. What's the gimbal mount model number so I can look out for one?
Regards - John

Bogen 3421 much less than a Kirk or other Gimbal and works just as well. A countryman of yours turned me onto it. He uses it with a Sigma 300-800 lens and it works fine with my 600 f 4 lens Here's a link to some photos of it www.pbase.com/littleflurry/bogen3421 |

Beautiful shot, Rick. The other cardinal in the background really makes the image IMO. I'm more impressed by your Sigma lens every time you post a new picture taken with it.

You are getting the workings of total steadiness and learning the pros/cons of that lens nicely. Practice makes perpect, as the old saying goes, and you are showing us some great images.
