Finally decided to give the macro option of the Tamron 70-300 a go the other day.
Didn't have much success as I don't have a good tripod and you really need a good tripod to use this sucker properly......well that's my story and I am sticking to it.
This is my only successful shot......

Wow that's a very nice shot. Love the green!! I am very impressed. I can't get any good macro shots with that lens at all. I have damned near given up.

Tripod or not, it looks great.

Excellent shot - obviously not one of the red drinking mob

That's beautiful Deb!!! A lovely capture...
Taking macros with a 300mm lens can be challenging due to camera shake... Another way of improving your chances is to use a flash and a smaller aperture...
Perseverence pays

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I have never taken a macro with such a big lens, my experience to date is with my Olypmus 5060wz, you have to get in much closer...being so far away from the subject was very strange.
And Chris, I like the white stuff, but between being preggars and a P plater, I don't get to enjoy it much anymore.
Cheers
Deb
