Think Smaller: How Switching to Macro Saved My Creative Off-Season (And Why I Ditched My Wide Angle Too)
Every year around late November I hit a wall. Fall color is gone but snow hasn’t committed yet, and I’m standing outside with a wide angle lens pointed at a bunch of gray-brown trees wondering why I even drove out here. I’ve wasted more Saturday mornings than I want to count chasing scenes that peaked two weeks earlier. So when I came across Watch the full tutorial on YouTube from landscape photographer Mark Denney, where he talks about why he basically stopped reaching for his wide angle lens and what he does instead during that awkward fall-to-winter gap, I felt like someone finally put words to a problem I’d been ignoring.
