For everyone who helped me

I just got my Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP macro lens yesterday and I love it! Nothing as beautiful as Rosemary's but these are some of my first shots with it.

All using AF. I had heard that AF doesn't work well with macro, but these were all handheld with AF. My daughter and I just walked around the yard looking for things to shoot. The lens focuses a lot faster than I thought it would.

Hibiscus

Nice work! I just got my lens too! But mine is an older one, doesn't matter it's a great tool! You will have to let me know when you post more pics

Congrats Rosemary. Your new lens definitely found a good home.

Edit: With such great pictures comes great responsibility. Post your data for us (e.g. ISO 100, f/2.5, 1/180s, hand held, Av). Was that wide open? M

Hm, hand held, ISO 100 hm, let me see if I can find the rest of the info for you. I got the lens, was so excited I just ran out side and popped off a few shots, lol I am not sure what I did! I shot some on manual, some on AFS. Some at F 11 I do remember that. Some close and some a bit farther way. Let me see tomorrow if I can figure out what I did.

Rosemary, Those specs I listed were for the shot you posted. I actually re-edited after I opened your photo in PHOTOME. It tells you all the info from a shot. It's free on the net if your interested. Let's you peak into how a photo was shot. I really was just telling you that if you post great photos people will want to know (and not everyone knows about PHOTOME).

Cheers, Matt

Pentax Poke I love the baseball shot... It just works for me.

I really like it when a shot does that for whatever reason.

Thank you Igilligan. I thought a picture of a baseball would say "Spring" to some of us as much as the flowers did.

Mine arrives Wed. One of the older macro's and still very little has changed from when they first came out. JIBO
