Hey,

Well it was my bday just recently and my good mate nogshale organised with some of my other friends and family to get me a
- Tamron 90mm 2.8 Macro (Canon)

While my i got it on monday i havent had a chance to really use it as my wife has just had our first baby (boy).

So here is the first real play with the lens and i can say that i have a lot of learning to do. But it is a great lens and i love it.



Let me know what you guys think.

Cheers
Ben

Ben!
Happy Birthday!
Beautiful shot indeed.
What was the background?

Any shots of your new son?

Great colour combo

nice shot, great colour and nice DOF. not sure about the stem coming out the right side. looks strange to me.

you;re gonna love that lens though. its a cracker.

thanks guys, the background is another flower in the arrangement. i had a couple of more plays with the lens, they are up on my flickr (link in sig)


off topic but here is a little picture of my boy. he is 1 day old in this shot. Dont mind the tube, that is out now and we are home and he is healthy!




taken with
50mm @ f5.6
external flash bounced off the roof (didnt want to blind him )

Great new mate, he's a cutie, love the spikey hair. Glad he's home safe and sound.

cheers, im pretty chuffed with it all and also think he is a cutie, but being his dad im probably pretty biased

Poompy,

Congrats on the baby boy. Take heaps of pictures of him, they grow up so fast. My daughter (now 10 months old) did things for only a few weeks that were cute. We didn't get video of it as we thought she'd never stop.

Nice lens. A mate if trying to convince me to buy the same, would love to hear back when you've had more time to play. Your son will make a wonderful object to practice on as well. Try the eyelashes / feet / hands etc.

Cheers

Congratulations! I hope the mother is also well and you are both very happy with such a beautiful baby. I love how the baby instinctively holds the finger and the tenderness of the scene. I prefer this second image.

Mum and Bub are doing fantastic, Mum is an absolutely trooper and seems to be a natural at it all.
