Yes, the exposure is great. It looks as if it were flashed, but I guess the unseen window light to her right was all that was needed, and the intense backlight didn't fool you or your meter. A very nice result for a nice girl. I hope you gave her a print!

My love affair with the Tamron macro was very short lived, Mary. The aperture started to stick almost at once, and Tamron said it needed a part they no longer stock. I got my money back and have invested in a new (deeply discounted) Cosina manual macro lens, 100/3.5 rather than 90/2.5. It comes with a supplementary lens that boosts the macro ratio to 1:1, so I should be OK for insect hunting!

Thanks for the insightful comment, John. Yes, this is all new for me. Comes of getting a 90mm macro lens that doubles nicely as a portrait lens. It lets me get further away than my beloved "wides," and therefore reduces stress on the subjects (and me!). I have a pair with this in which she smiled. I'll post that for comparison with this comment.

With a smile... |

Well Roger, this is a step off the normal path for you isn't it?. Nicely done. I can see that she really doesn't feel comfortable yet but given time she may relax a bit more. I can see how you, the student-teacher relationship and being in front of a camera, all could tense her up a bit.

Yes, I've noticed that, Bertram. It doesn't seem very suitable for macro shots, either... the out-of-focus areas get rather nasty grain, particularly if they are in the shade and the main subject is a bright flower in full sunlight, as is often the case. This was an unexpected complication I encountered in my attempts to take macros.

Perfectly focused, Roger ! And the wonder film at it's limits, I know that. In dim light it can get a bit prudish sometimes :-)

Good to hear you've got yourself a macro lens!
Best regards, Chris
