thank you Erland...It was a tricky shot to get I had to hold the stem of the flower in my left hand to stop it moving in the wind while moving my camera too a from the subject to get the right DOF.....LOL everyone passing me must have thought I was strange...but i had great fun doing it

Thank you Bruce...this shot was taken with a Tamron SP90 Di with no flash

Again taken hand held windy day

this shot was taken hand held with the SP90... kenko extension tubes...and it was windy LOL

Wow....wonderful pictures Nikola

Hi everyone...after a long absense here are some shots I took with my new Tamron sp 90

By the way the work paid for my new Tamron sp90 macro lens
and I am now considering buying a speed light should I go for the sb 800 or a 3rd party flash ? I am going to start doing weddings soon

Hi everyone hope your all well...I have been away for ages due to work commitments but I'm back now and hope to start posting soon

Hee hee thanks Ken...I'm showing my age here but I have had some nice Seiko and Citizen watches in the past that have been excellent time keepers but didn’t stand up to the punishing life of a soldier. This watch was so expensive I dare not bash it LOL

Here's my baby Its aprox 10 years old...never take it off and it never misses a single beat

I took the Tamron 90mm sp back and it was found to be faulty

this is a big shame cos the pictures with an extension tube fitted were amazing...oh well I will have to save for a new one or keep looking for another bargain

Hi Dave

My tamron 70-300 and nikon 50mm both have aperture rings but I dont get this error...the Tamron 90m sp is an old lens however and I suspect it may be faulty I am taking it back today with my camera...I'll be sad to see it go though because it takes superb pictures

WOW very nice shot Nikola..I would love to be able to have a photo opportunity with one of these beetles...Stunning
