Beautiful lily John!

My lens of the month is the Tamron 90/2.8 Macro. It can produce some nice bokeh.

Sorry to quote such and old post, but I've been spending some time going back through this thread studying different styles.

BUT!

Is it just me, or is that, or does that look incredibly like Billie Piper??

My Sigma 70-300 surprised me today. Its the first time I've really used it in macro mode.

But of course. That's why they call me The Doctor.

Quel superbe portrait de chat !

Ce n'est pas facile à photographier un chat, avec quel lentille l'as tu photographié ?

Bravo

Merci beaucoup! Thank you - I used an older Pentax *istD with an M50 f/1.7 lens. It's a good combination & I've gotten quite a few nice shots using them. The cat belongs to me, but he surprised me that day when he suddenly jumped on the fence. I only had a few seconds to grab that shot ...

Rick: thanks! That's a new lens for me - I recently acquired it from local guy unloading all his SLR gear. I made out great on the deal - will ttyl about it. I love those intense pink/purple colors you're getting from those flowers - almost make my eyes hurt

Great shots from everyone! With everything blooming, it's a great time for bokeh

Great effort on the flower!
Love the background.
