Decided to give macro photography a go last night

I got a Tamron 70-300 Macro zoom lens when i bought my camera, so though what the hell give it a go

Not the sharpest of photos, but is uncropped and a good learning curve, as the focus was very narrow and the dof was even smaller

I use the Tamron 90mm macro lens for this kind of shot. Cost just under £350 which is a prime lens and I think it may produce a better picture Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner

i agree, a better lens will produce loads better images,

I don't think the branch blowing in the wind helped either

I have been looking at Oliver Wrights photos, his local to me and given me a bit of inspiration for what could be acheived, albeit, i dont have £5k to spend on a lens

Thanks. All down to lots of practice. I used to use slide film so there was never anything you could do to the image once it was taken. I still try to take photo's to keep rather than just blasting away. With digital all you waste once you've got the gear is electrons and time.

had another go last night, whilst waiting on the kids to come home
