Tamron 28-105 mm f/2.8 SP AF lens
A well manufactured lens, easy to operate despite the size. A great lens for everybody who is looking for a "fast" zoom (travel) lens in this focal range. However, if you are looking for maximum sharpness, this lens can not replace the quality of fix focal lenses.
It can be extended in focal length with either a 1.4x or 2x tele-converter (then at f 5.6 with a 2x) and still produce reasonable results with savings in space, weight, and money over a classical zoom-combo.
After 48 years of trying to paste something in my blog, thank God I was able to choose this pix. I'm just so sorry that I wasn't able to paste the picture right here. I found it so hard to operate...
The kind of information needed to critique a photograph are its internal, external and the original. The internal is composed of the picture itself and its title, the date, and the maker of it. In its external aspect, the surroundings revolving the picture is Jonathan wherein Bedell caught him at its "beauty". According to that source, Bedell enhanced "the subject's eyes slightly and dodged and burned a few highlights on the face but the image was nearly perfect as it was".The is positioned in what we call the "Rule of Thirds". I just hope I'm right because it is located at one side. The background color is blue and yellow while the object is brown. The blue and yellow, because of its lightness, emphasized the object's color which is brown. His facial features were very strong just like his color. The shape is like that of an isosceles triangle.
