Hi,

I've been experimenting with the tamron 70-300's macro facility. I got this lens as part of the Nikon D70 kit.

Here are some shots.

Resized in Photoshop with a little unsharp mask applied.

Nice pics Naasif, but if you don't fix those links, they are soon going to point to someone else's photos as soon as other pics are uploaded to Pixspot...

Refer to Stubbsy's step-by-step guide to embedding images from Pixspot in the Tips & Tricks section...

Nice shots - actually your posting has raised a question in my mind. What is the definition of macro? I assume that it is 1:1 i.e. life size and when we go below that it becomes micro. So anything above 1:1 would be extreme closeup - thoughts on this would be appreciated

These were taken in the evening while "Tinker" was trying to sleep. In the first shot she slowly opened her eyes and then started staring at me, as if to say, "can't you see im trying to get some sleep?!" :)

The precise, academic definition of macro is not clearly defined. It is generally accepted that it refers to any kind of photography where the use of supplementary attachments is used for close up photography...IE bellows, extension rings, dedicated macro lens or filters.
