Beautiful orchid brettania.
Here's another Daisy for you: ![]() And these are the berries that grow out of the beautiful little yellow flower you posted in the week 50 challenge: ![]() And this is another flower detail (I think of a Gladiolus) ![]() All shot with the Tamron 70-300 LD Macro.

Dang -- someone else who does daisies (and a very good one at that). I like #1 and #3, and find the third informational -- I will have to check mine again and see if they have developed little "apples". That lens is giving good macro detail.
The orchid shot is interesting as I have passed it over a couple of times because the thumb indicates it is quite dark. Then today I used Bibble and it was nearly on the button when opened from the RAW -- I think I gave it an extra half stop. Edited by brettania - 25 December 2007 at 22:50 |

Yes, I like the Tamron 70-300 LD Macro a lot, despite the not so good reviews it gets here on Dyxum. My KM 100/2.8 D is better but the Tamron gives a different perspective at 300 mm and still pulls out good detail. Usually I give a bit more "clarity" and a bit more sharpening and then certainly for downsized web publishing gives excellent results. I don't have Bibble but only use Lightroom. What I usually do after importing is adjust white point and black point and then play a bit with the brightness slider. Most of the time that will reveal if the shot's worth a salvaging try or not. |
