Yes it was. My Sony Alpha a58 isn't quite in your nikons class but it is a good match for the Tamron.

Nicely done.

Those shiny leaf beetles are so difficult; I usually leave them alone.

Well done.

Beetles I can do but I'm having a real problem with a big hairy caterpillar today.

I often find difficulty in getting all of a long caterpillar in focus; and they can move at quite a speed when you are attempting to position yourself for focusing.

Sometimes the best approach is to just concentrate on the head and let everything else fade into the distance; as you have done with some other bugs.

I will try to post the best I managed.
