I took these photos of my nice at the beach a couple of weeks ago. I had just gotten my new Tamron 28-75 XR Di. These were shot with a Rebel Xt. The results made me really happy, but I'm new to portrait photography so comments are appreciated.

Thanks. Yes I did use a flash, but it was just the pop-up. I don't know the settings off hand, but I was shooting f2.8-3.5 most of the time because the sun had just gone down and it was getting dark quick. Curthttp://www.opticalsupports.com

The flip up flash does a fine job when using for fill. Nice photos. ~John

Thanks for the feedback. Reading on this forum, I see a lot of comments along the lines of "yeah my lens is a soft copy" or "I lucked out and got a super sharp copy!". I thought these images looked very sharp when I zoomed in for close examination, so most of the credit probably goes to the lens. Curthttp://www.opticalsupports.com

So I sent it in to Tamron for repair and ask them also to check the focus etc. When it was returned it was much more solid (tightened up) and sharper, sort of glad it broke.

I love the Tamron 28-75...did you use flash? What were your settings?
