A selfie, a rat and a trip to a horse trainer.

Hi all, im finally back into photography after a unexpected visitor decided to "Borrow" my gear! This time i also got a tamron 90mm macro lense to which i love! Thanks Greg for the recommendation and helping me through this!!!

Ok with the macro lens results:

I had to do a selfie, of course! I didnt get my eyes exactly in focus, but the brim of my beanie was that sharp i had to soften it a tad. But after a little PP i got my eyes nicely done. I know my lips are dry, this was just a quick experiment. I wont bore you with the strobist info.

And here is one of my oldest girls, Pip. I started of with the other girls but it was hard to focus and shoot them as they love to explore! And while shooting the others i realized i had to use a different aperture, from 5.6ish to 16ish. Which made it easier to shoot Pip, as she is the more relaxed rat i have. But again i love how sharp this shot came out. This was just a simple two light set up.

Now to the sigma 70-200mm lense i got:

I love this lense as well! And again props go to Greg!!

and this is my sister. This was a bit too bright so i converted it to B&W. And i know the detail in the helmet is too much. But love it no matter what.

Any tips, c&c is always welcome.

Boo-yaaa, glad to be back!!

Welcome back Allen, and what a series to start with. I can see you are going to have some fun with the Tamron and Pip, look forward to seeing some more.

Jolly good, not many can manage to link all of the above, but I reckon you pulled it off

My favorite is the selfie. Are you going to return to your project of asking strangers to pose for you?

[allenlennon]

Yes i will be, once the raining stops and free time, thanks mike.
And thanks to everyone

Great to see you back Allen. While your selfie is very nice (as usual) I just love the detail in Pip. Job well done.

[allenlennon]
