Hi everyone, boredom has gotten the better of me during this uni break but thankfully i have a new toy to play with (Tamron 90/2.8)

Processed in CS3, no presets or anything. NX's snail pace frustrates me but its results are really startling compared to CS3. i'll stick to CS3 for its interface and sheer speed.

its a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet lens!
but tell me one thing, does yours make a little rattle sound when you flip the lens upside down (lens on its own, no camera). sounds like rice grains or something very light inside...

Mmmmm
I told you #2 was gorgeous - I loved the vibrant purple colours and how sharp the insides of it were! Even others agree :) You are becoming quite the macroman! heehee. Can't wait til I get my hands on one of these babies... in the distant future.

Definitely like #2, I like the way the petals form the lines and seem to drag your eyes to the bud (is that the right term?)

Pretty nice colour there also! :D
