Macro Techniques with Rick Lieder

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!"

I shared this video in a blog post a couple of years ago, but it's so loaded with great information, thanks to Tamron USA and Rick Lieder, I decided to share it again and include some of the screen shots of his images.

"I like to challenge myself doing something difficult,
maybe something nobody's ever done before!"
Rick Leider

There's so much great information in Tamron's video archives. Whether you're into macro work with "critters" like Rick or not makes no difference. This "Tipcast" is loaded with great ideas to help you raise the bar on your technique. Even if you're a wedding photographer shooting macros of the flowers, the rings or an heirloom cake knife you need to create exciting images!

That quote I shared up top really says a lot about Rick and the way he approaches macro-photography. It's the same way all artists need to challenge themselves, have the right tools and set a goal to make your work different from what your competitors are sharing.

Check out more of Rick's work with this special post from the SCU archives. And, if you're not familiar with the incredible glass Tamron has been producing, find a Tamron dealer near you!
