Monday Morning Tip – 04/06/09
by Lee on Apr.04, 2009, under Monday Morning Tips
Seems my best MMT topics come from readers’ questions. Last week’s MMT about creating a “poor man’s macro lens” created more questions. The most popular question was about the macro focusing rail I mentioned at the end of the article.
Today’s MMT covers macro focusing rails and how to use them. While they look deceptively simple, knowing how to use them ahead of time will make life a lot easier. As always, the full MMT is located here. If you need a password, register for my MMTs to receive one via e-mail.
About 60 MMTs have now been uploaded as well as about 11 videos. Once all previous MMTs and videos are uploaded, I’ll be able to concentrate on producing more new material. In the meantime, keep sending those questions because they’re the best source of ideas for me.

One condition: we'd have to do something cool, and with a little attitude… Read more […]
- Anatomy of a Project: Miller Mobley's Re-enactors May 21, 2012When I worked at The Sun, a lot of emphasis was put on always having multiple projects in the hopper. Self-generated projects are the lifeblood of any good paper, and they promote exploration and serendipity. Since I have gone out on my own, I can honestly say projects have the single most important vehicle for developing my photography. I always have at lea […]
