I was inspired by some pictures Laura El Tantawy showed us from In the Shadow of the Pyramids at her recent presentation at POST, to start shooting very close up. I got out my 60mm f/2.4 macro lens and started using it as a walking around lens in the street to see what I might come up with. This is an atypical way to use such a lens so I’m really just experimenting to see what I can learn about shooting this way.
