That's the one I have Pesh :) I find it a great little lens, but as tlc said due to the focal length you sometimes need to get quite close to your subject, but that didn't bother me as I have the patience for it. That's a good price too if you can get it for that! I have it on a crop sensor Canon, here is a link to my shots from it if you want to see what it can do :) http://flic.kr/s/aHsjtetc2s

Pesh have a look here - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ns=p_PRICE_2%7c0&ci=274&N=4288584247+4109120021+4108103566&srtclk=sort It's sorted by Macro and Nikon mount and with plenty of user reviews about the lenses. I've just upgraded from the Tamron 60mm f2.0 and I found it a cracking little lens. Macro takes patience as the depth of field can be so narrow and unless you're photographing snails, the subjects can be fast :laugh: but it's got me hooked :D

Loving all the photos so far everyone I'm really enjoying these challenges :) As Kristin is away we may need to make an executive decision for the next theme. If anyone has been contacted by Kristin to choose the next one can you let us know, but I say if we haven't heard by the end of today, then the first person on the latest list we have below should select a theme - does that sound ok to everyone? I think it would be Kerri to pick unless we hear otherwise?

You'd think my little Louis would be useless, but the speed and efficiency with which he caught a rat once gives me some hope he'd be able to get us some meat :laugh: I'd have to have a pile of clothes for skin protection for him though......

That's awesome Congratulations RV

So sorry to hear Larissa

Sorry it didn't work out for you today Snook and hope you feel better tomorrow :) On the bright side I think you have an extra day going by the post on the blog :D Lorella has chosen Portraits Shooting runs from 15 Feb - 28 Feb inclusive Images post on 01 March http://ourphoto2013.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/announcing-theme-four-portraits.html

Hope you have a good trip to the Fringe Snook :) I managed to get three decent-ish ones from my 'shoot' the other day, but certainly not human portraits :laugh:

Such a beautiful bunch of pooches Love Jackson's Blue Steel moment, he is one handsome dude! How do you get any work done? :laugh:

If you use something like Flickr or photobucket, you can upload whatever size you like to there, and then choose a link to post a smaller version on here. http://www.flickr.com/help/sharing/

Well I've learnt one thing so far - I really should have bought that 'how to use your speedlite' book earlier than yesterday :laugh: I've just take some some shots of 3 unwilling models - not gonna be the best, but they may have to do as not sure I'll get another chance before the 28th!

Woo Hoo rain and cool air Might even need a light duvet tonight Indy is totally pissed off wondering where the sun has gone - how did she ever survive in Scotland :laugh:

I think this is when they had just finished - manic exhaustion :laugh:

Very nice RV :D I love the Pelican shot especially, great colours

Super shots! I'm always very jealous of you going to these :laugh: I don't think there is any lure racing in Perth?

RallyValley and I took a day trip to Penguin Island recently for a day of photography. Squillions of birds to photograph and a very beautiful area as well :D We spotted: Bridled Terns Crested Terns Osprey Sacred Kingfisher Welcome Swallows Pelicans Little Penguins Pied Oystercatchers Cormorants Gulls Galore King Skinks and Australian Sea Lions My full set of photos are here - http://flic.kr/s/aHsjE2YM4Q, so these are just a few, and hopefully RV will be along to add some of hers as well :D

Oh Pers so sorry to hear about Hamlet Another one here who loved seeing his pictures and hearing about his adventures - look after yourself

That's my favorite one, I think it looks like Chewie is blowing raspberries on his side and he's laughing hysterically

lol, yup not much going on here either, apart from Louis actually played with another dog at the weekend see photo section. Mirawee, your new foal and pup are both adorable! and hope you find a home for your girl soon ptolomey - gorgeous pups too :D pfft - only 3 mirawee ;) when I was a groom (about 25yrs ago now :laugh: ) we had 10 to prep every day for 2 weeks when it was Hickstead

I know this is a normal day to day experience for most dog owners, but when we went round to Tibbie_tabbie's over the weekend, Louis actually played with Chewbacca! Louis has fear aggression, so mixing with dogs at parks or the beach only happens when I know the people and dogs we're going with, and as Daisy doesn't play (another screwed up background) Louis just doesn't play much with other dogs. So when he did a play bow and started charging around with Chewbacca after he initiated play, I had a little tear in my eye from the joy of seeing him actually play with another dog Crap photos, but here is the proof! :D He was pooped when we got home :laugh:

Buttons is a cutie pie! Hope he finds a home soon as it sounds like he will make someone very happy indeed :D

Fabulous shots everyone Will pop comments up later as already used up enough of my work time putting my post up on the blog :laugh:

How interesting! what a gorgeous bunch of dogs :D

Just what I was going to ask! Phew, don't do humans :laugh:
