Catch of the day...

I have a hard time to decide if i want to keep the tamron or return it mainly do to the chromatic aberration that sometimes are really bad when ur using it up close on small things or things with hard contrasts, didn't thought it would be that bad...
I have a few more days to decide what to do....

That sounds frustrating Dennis - does the CA clean up easily in PP?

[Dr. Harout]

Dennis, did you try to PP on LR4?

[DennisG]

sure i can fix it LR4 but i don't want to have to "weird sentence "
does anyone have any experience of Sigma EX 70/2,8 DG Macro it has some SLD glass in it to fix the CA.
and i also have problems with my sigma 17-70 ( front/back focus problems ) that one havent worked as it should sens i got it :/ and is now of to service for the second times sense januari...

[DennisG]

well i think i keep the tamron after all
some kind of bug i have no idea what it´s called

Dennis,

I have the Sigma 70 2.8 DG Macro EX. I am well pleased with it. I have not noticed any CA. However, I must say your shots here are very good. The Sigma is not quite as much of a telephoto as the Tamron.

Thanks,
Ron

Very nice Dennis - those aphids are having a party

Hi Dennis,

We had those on our little rose buds as well last year. What I did was spraying some natural soap solution diluted with water on them and they never appeared again..even this year.

Ladybugs are your friend! They love to feast on these little buggers.

Of course, introducing Ladybugs where they don't exist may constitute a problem of it's own!

We have ladybugs but i havent seen that many this year...
I use to flush them off with the hose and it takes a few days for them to climb back up

went to a funfair ( gröna lund ) the other day and of many pics this feels the best


boosted the colors a bit

Excellent shot Dennis. You can feel the joy.

[Birma]

Love the sky and the back-lighting

Agree completely with Birma. : )

Dennis, this is a postcard shot. Very coincident colouring and action with the mood intact. A better shot would only be with the camera positioned even lower so the people in the foreground are also fuly captred so that the full mood of the entertainment is pictured. : ) Just my humble thoughts....

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz
