I felt like I've been neglecting my Tamron 90mm macro for the last few months, so I took it out for a quick shoot around school in the afternoon. It was a little late and the sun was starting to set so I had to crank my ISO to 800, 1600. Not to mention the rather strong winds, wilting flowers and my lack of practice. Still managed to get a bunch of keepers, I think!

Nice.
#3 and the first and last of the second series are well done.
Don't be afraid to stop down a little more - the DoF is so thin in many of these.
But thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I started with f5.6 but as the sun started to set I had no choice but to shoot at f2.8 to avoid handshake and motion blur due to wind.. Next time around I'll start shooting earlier in the afternoon.
