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!"

Wide, Telephoto, Portraits, Macro - Yeah, Tamron's Got That!

Wandering through Tamron's YouTube archives I came across this video from last year with Andre Costantini as he took Tamron's 16-300mm Di II VC PZD Macro lens out for a spin around San Francisco. While the lens itself is remarkable, what I appreciate most is how much great content Andre packs into just three minutes. As he states in the very beginning, when traveling he wants to be able to shoot wide, telephoto, portraits and macro - all with one lens!

This lens is pretty remarkable and with each feature, Andre's giving a mini-class on composition and exposure. Of course if you know Andre, then you know he never does anything halfway!

Check out all of Tamron's lenses with a trip to Tamron dealer. And, follow the Mobile Learning Center, on the road throughout most of the year.  Still coming up this month they're in Alabama on 9/29, followed by Georgia, Florida, Texas and New York through December.

Here's your opportunity to catch up to the Tamron Tech Team, test drive their new lenses and pick up some great tips to help you raise the bar on your skill set. Just click on the MLC van to link to the complete schedule of locations, topics and times.

Tamron's not only the manufacturer of some of the finest glass in the world but they're dedicated to education and helping to build better photographers!

When I grow up I want to be Ken Hubbard! 

I ran across this YouTube video in the Tamron channel and was blown away by how much great content Ken shares in this archived short piece from last year. He's traveling to some of the most beautiful places in the US, and all along the way sharing some great educational content while at the same time putting Tamron's SP 15-30 F/2.8 lens through a workout.

You'll find more of Ken's images along with other members of Tamron's Tech Team on YouTube.
  Plus, check out this month's calendar for the Mobile Learning Center. Just click on the thumbnail to the right.

In September they'll be in Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Georgia and Florida! It's an amazing schedule and your chance to check out Tamron's outstanding line of lenses for yourself. These are some of the most diverse and talented tech reps in the industry with a non-stop focus to help you raise the bar on the quality of your images.
