HT0795 - Minimum Focus Distance

In last week's podcast I was asking for help for ways to go back with fresh eyes. A number of listeners sent wonderfully creative ideas, and for all of these suggestions I'm grateful. The one that has intrigued me the most, however, was the suggestion to explore minimum focus distance with each of my lenses. With my long telephoto, this does not necessarily mean macro photography, and I'm having all kinds of fun playing with this unusual strategy. I don't know if I'm making interesting images, but I am shaking up my visual habits.
