Well I failed to get the photo uploaded. So have to work on this later. Sorry.

10-4. Already put one on. Did not have the problem normally. This time I was doing some other things and was leaving the lens pointed down for an extended period of time. I have a 70-300 that does not creep (tested this) so the Tamron is the only one it have that does this (but I have used this lens the most)

Thanks for looking. I did use a tripod. And I think I found out what is going on (some of it anyway). Regarding focus, I used a cable release and just stood back and shot after I focused. What happened is my lens was creeping I think. I had the tripod and a height that put the camera/lens on an angle of about 60 degrees. (This morning the lens was fully extended after being left in position over night).

Went with manual focus and live view. I really think that I was the cause of this. Bad eyes!

Off camera bounce. Almost seems the sync is off or something. I may set up again and try tomorrow. Thanks.

Good thought. I will add to the collection soon. Thanks

This the first flower/orchid that I have shot with this lens and the first time to use LR4. Please tell me what you think and what I can do to improve. Hit me with your best shot you will not hurt my feelings :lol: I use a T3i. Used a Tamron 18-270mm on these. The focus seems soft and something is just not popping.

18-270 1/13 400 6.3 almost no PP


18-270 1/13 400 6.3 used LR4

Welcome from right outside Austin. Been most of the last 57 years. Enjoy the info available on the site. I know that I am learning a lot here.

Glad to see you here. Central Texas is a big area? ;-)

Looks like you have the solution in PP for these! Looks good. Thanks. I am just starting with PS3 and LR4. Your point is well taken. :P

Thanks for the CC and I agree. Thanks again.



:lol:

Thanks for looking and commenting on them. Will do!! Again thanks.

Thanks for the welcome. Funny thing on the shot of the sail boat I was on another boat and had a terrible time holding the camera straight. But had fun getting the shot. Will work on the rest. Again thanks.
