Tamron AF 90mm F/2.8 Di Macro

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC here I come! Yeee Har! Check out the hairs on this bee! The best thing about macro photography is that anything and everything can be a subject. Mobile phone keypads, nipple hairs , forks, bees, flowers, ass cracks, you can always squeeze out an artistic shot.

I had finally gotten my macro lens after giving Benny's Canon EF-S 60mm a good test drive. Such a good friend, I dont know what I would do if I didn't have him to let me test out stuff befoe actually buying them. I would say that I've saved quite a lot of money of stuff I may not actually need. My wife however, may have a different take on that.

Even though I had stinged (pay attention dear wife) and bought a 2nd hand Tamron (a minty minty one mind you) over the Canon EF 100mm macro and saved a whopping S$400, I cant escape the realisation that the Tamron focusses like a bloody tractor! Slow and loud. But if you would take a look at the pictures, the lens is tack sharp!

Now that I've got the equipment ready, move over Jimmy and let Rover take over.

ROVER

Impeccable Sharpness!

Many thanks to Mdm Fong Poey Kay for taking care of Li'l Luke while I was hanging out with the bees. Sweet lady....

Moon-ing

As usual, I was flipping through Clubsnap late one night and came across a "moon-ing" thread. Having quite a bit of talent in this field, I couldn't resist the temptation to re-live what I was able to do so well when I was much younger. I grabbed my camera and stuck on Benny's 400mm and came up with this shot. I did come to the realisation that there is an increased amount of scarring, and you can't really see the other cheek anymore.
