Hi all,

My new Tamron 90 macro arrived yesterday afternoon ($377 delivered from DWI - not bad!), so I spent a couple of hours at the Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens this morning testing it out. It's the first macrophotography I've done for 2 years, and the first time I've used flash as a light source, so it took a while to work out what I was doing. I'm quite happy with how these turned out, and I think this lens has lots of potential! Looking forward to testing it some more.

I was lucky enough to find a baby green tree snake (only about 25 cm long), which hung aroud for long enough for me to photograph it [image #1]. Image # 2 is a mosquito resting on a crucifix orchid, #3 and #4 are little jumping spiders, #5 is a dragonfly of some sort, and I'm not sure what #6 is!

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
