The Tamron Theater

"All of us tend to think of Tamron as a great manufacturer of optics. Let's face it, they make GREAT glass, but there's another aspect to Tamron's incredible presence in the industry. They believe in education and support for photographers who are working professionals, aspiring pros and serious hobbyists. They're all about helping you with the quality of every image you capture, from their workshops and Tailgate Tour to tech support online, Customer Service and all of their educational material.

In the Tamron Theater we're sharing videos, podcasts, guest posts and images from some of the very best artists in the world. 

Welcome to the Tamron Theater!"

"On the Road Again..."

​The dynamic duo is back on the road and in Seattle with special drive-along guest, Jillian Bell. I have to admit, knowing these three, Andre, Ken and Jillian like I do, the dryness of their humor is a kick. But, even if you haven't met them, there's a lot of good content here if you just pay attention and watch what and how they're shooting.
Picture
From scenes around Seattle, including the famous gum wall to a train ride up Mt. Ranier, there's never a dull moment. Ken refers to so many scenes as being "in Jillian's wheelhouse." That's because Jillian is all about lines, shadows and closeup images. In fact, I've shared a number of posts about Jillian, including her FREE downloadable Tamron Close-Up Guide.

Tamron's tech reps are on the road all summer long with the Mobile Learning Center. And coming up in July they're in Utah, Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa and Ohio. Just click on the Mobile Learning Center on the right.

It's Tamron Tuesday and I can't think of better content to share than a stunning image by Kevin Gilligan. Kevin was in Yellowstone recently teaching a night-sky workshop. The image above is from Yellowstone at night, backlit by a lightning storm.  Besides having become a great friend, Kevin is one of Tamron's Image Masters and is responsible for one of the most read guest posts I've ever shared. Check out the three part series on how to put together your own exhibit.

Tamron is best known for making outstanding glass and their four new SP Lenses, introduced over the last year, are creating some incredible buzz. They're also known for their nonstop educational efforts with their Mobile Learning Center and sponsored workshops around the country.

Check out the schedule for the Mobile Learning Center so you don't miss their workshop when it comes to a Tamron retailer near you. Plus, there are some terrific destination-based workshops taking place in the remainder of June through August. One click on the banner below and you'll find the complete calendar.

Tiny Landscapes - Mike Moats and a Conversation About Macro Photography

6/7/2016

Mike Moats has joined us a few times at SCU and in fact most recently shared the back-story on one of his favorite flower images on "Why?"  What I enjoy most about Mike's work is the way he takes us to places we've all been, but we never looked close enough. He's a "landscape" photographer but in the world of close-up/macro. 

In this new podcast, Mike shares some terrific insight as we talk about the world of close-up/macro photography. As I mention in the podcast, no matter what your photographic specialty, sooner or later you're going to need to capture images that draw from your close-up/macro skill set! 

Another fun part of talking with Mike is the fact that we share many of the same friends, starting with the team at Tamron USA. I first met Mike through the Tamron Image Masters, a talented and diverse group of artists, each contributing regularly to helping to build a stronger photographic industry.
Mike's Tamron Lenses
18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD (model B008)
SP 60mm F/2.0 Di II Macro (model G005)
SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC Macro (model F004) 
Enjoy the podcast and then check out Tamron's new SP lenses at a Tamron retailer nearest you.

Plus, the Tamron Tech Team is on the road throughout 2016 with the Mobile Learning Center. For June they're scheduled to be in Billings, MT followed by Kenmore and Lakewood, WA. Put their schedule on your radar so you don't miss an opportunity to learn from, and shoot hands-on with some of the very best instructors in photography! 

Tamron isn't just making terrific glass; they're helping to make better artists. They're always focused on bringing great educational programs to the industry along with outstanding lenses.
