For most of my years shooting macro and close-up photography I have mainly used my Tamron 90mm lens. 

A few years ago, I started using the new zoom lenses from Tamron, the 18-270, 16-300, 18-400, and the 18-300 on my mirrorless camera. 

The other change in the last couple years are the larger megapixels on my latest cameras.  At 26 megapixels I can do some small crops and still get a good quality image. 

My new way of shooting is I don't have to worry about perfectly framing my subject so that I don't have to crop the subject in post processing.

As you can see in this image, I just framed a large area with my zoom lens.

When I get home, I download the image and just crop out what I want. Add an artistic filter for the background in Smart Photo Editor and done.
