Staffyluv Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yay I got a macro lens! Here's my first photo taken with it: Not the best but I'm still learning and really excited to play with it a bit more! :D I like it.. They take some getting used to, don't they.. I am loving mine and using it more than others at the moment. I can't wait for my Christmas break so I can spend more time taking pictures..

tlc Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I was outside doing some pics of the dogs and cat today and a bee was right near me on the grass, not moving much so I snapped a few shots, I think he might have had a damaged wing. In this shot, he is flapping his one wing that is damaged, look like it is going flat out. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pesh Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 This is one of my favourite photo's I've taken. I think because it turned out totally different to what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Does anyone have an opinion on this lens? http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/astore/Tamron-SP-AF90mm-F28-Di-Macro-11-Lenses.aspx Tossing up between that or the Canon 100mm Macro (not the L - out of my price range) T.

tdierikx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 How far away do you get when taking the bee and fly type shots with the Canon 100mm FM? I'm loving all of your macro shots... and definitely starting to think I need to get the Canon lens... but I'll have to save up longer... or win Lotto... T.

tdierikx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) I don't have a macro lens - just a Tamron 18-270mm and the Macro setting on the 60D... here's my attempt to take some macro shots. This little guy was about 1cm across when fully spread out... These weren't too bad for hand held and a slight breeze blowing... T.

tlc Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Pretty good for a non Macro lens! You will love the 100mm or any macro for that matter, I love the 100mm as it is so versatile I have used it for lots of other stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Heres some shots that show the versatility of this lens. And some action You may have already seen some of these in another thread. Edited December 27, 2012 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm definitely getting better at holding the camera still when taking photos... and I'm usually on Sports mode for taking photos of moving dogs... so this macro stuff is a little outside my comfort zone...

I don't get super close but I crop out I hate getting close to spiders so stay back a bit ( in case they jump LOL ) I will take note next time I use it to see how far away I get ...it's funny once you start taking them it amazing what you find round the yard as you look for things to try and get a photo, I am not that good with setting so i just wing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my pics so far in this thread have been with my Tamron 60mm, after two years I have just moved on to the Canon 100mm L version, but here is the image sample thread on POTN for the Tamron 90mm - some pretty decent shots in there, looks like a good 'bang for bucks' choice :D http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=288737&highlight=Tamron+90mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
