hi there, i was always interested in macro photography, and i recently picked up my first camera, (10D) and for x-mas i boughtthe tamron F2.8 90mm macro lense i've had my eye on for a while.

here's the first pics with the new lense, two of my sister-in-law's engagement ring. please, C&C is welcome! thanks!

Better than my first macros ! I find working with such a narrow DOF the hardest thing to get used to. A useful post with links to BrianV's tutorials --> http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=4595568&postcount=14
