Be Inspired This Winter By Macro Photography

Let Macro Photography Inspire You To Get Outside This Winter.

Is anyone else feeling uninspired this winter?  I am.  Clients aren't requesting as many outdoor sessions, and personally, I am not a studio photographer.  I need to be:

Outside.
In the dirt.
Flailing in the sand.
To get a picture.

How is that for a little photography faux haiku.  That's me though.  Studio = nightmare to me.  Does anyone else reading this feel this way?  In December, I climbed straight up a mountain in Germany with two cameras around my neck, one being a Mark III with a wide angle lens.  It was heavy.  I was sweating on the edge of hypothermia by the time I got to the the top and I was loving every minute of it.

I haven't had much time in the last 2 months to work on my personal portfolio and I have been kind of down about it.  Winter has definitely had a hand in that.  It occurred to me this morning that I need to just get outside and take some pictures. Macro is the perfect excuse to get out there and start snapping away.

You may be new to MLC but several years ago we had a contest every Monday, called "Macro Monday" on the MLC Facebook page.  It petered out over the course of a year until finally we decided to replace it with another contest.  I am thinking that winter is the perfect time to bring back Macro Monday!

"We're bringing Macro back!"

Every Monday, post your Macro images on the MLC Facebook page and on Tuesday we will announce a winner!  The winner will receive their choice of any of our 5 for $5.00 products for FREE!


Next week we will be posting on the best equipment to use for Macro Photography and trying to take a little bit of the mystery out of Macro.  Make sure you subscribe or follow us on social media to find out when we post.

Right now, I have to go...so I can order a new dedicated Macro lens!  I'm so inspired!  Whoop!  I'll let you know on Monday which lens I decide to go with.


Not on Facebook? Join us on Twitter.  Post your Macro photography and mention us @MLCActions, to join in!

Any suggestions?  Do you love your Macro lens?  Please let me know!
