I just got back from a trip to San Francisco and Chicago, where I picked up a number of new toys, including a 20D and a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. :clap:clapHere's a six frame panorama I shot with them. It was a clear day but unfortunately there was quite a bit of haze. Still, I am pleased with the results.

If you like this sort of thing (and have a fast net connection) you can see the original by going to my Chicago gallery and clicking on the original size link. Sorry for the hassle, but I was unable to get a clickable link to work on the original in Dgrin :dunno.

Comments and criticism are welcome, of course.

Cheers,

    That's not real. I've seen Chicago and it's not that good looking!

    Seriously, great job on those. Looks like you're having a lot of fun with your new toy. Did you have a tripod with you?

    Looks as real to me as if he was set up on the north side of the walkway around Adler Planetarium. :D And a good job too!

    Man that takes me back. I went to college in Chicago. I miss it up there, well except for the weather. Great shot though!

    Thanks, guys. I am very pleased with the Tamron. thumb.gifthumb It's sharp and a lot easier to carry around than the Canon 70-200 f/4L that I also bought. I like it as well, of course, but after a year of only shooting with a digicam it does feel like a bit of a burden.

    Speaking of burdens, yes Kdog, I did use a tripod. In fact, I lugged the silly thing all the way from Spain just to do that shot. Guess it was worth it. :D I grew up in Chicago and was always fond of the view from the Planetarium, which David recognized immediately.
