Extreme Macro for Under $40


Photo-A-Day #2166

I continue to have fun with my gadgets. I connected my new 10+ close up filter to my Sigma 28-70mm lens and then the 52mm adapter so I could also attach my Opteka macro lens to that.

Contest

Have a Red Robin “Man Date” of Your Own!

115 Comments

BenSpark at Red Robin with the Prime Chophouse BurgerLast Thursday I went to Red Robin with my friend Mike for a “Man Date”. This event came about because of a tongue and cheek post that I wrote back in 2008 about Mike and I going to Red Robin and then to the movies. Allison asked me how my “Man Date” was and because of that I looked up “Man Date” and found a great article in the New York Times defining the “rules” of a “Man Date.

Because of that post I was contacted by the PR firm for Red Robin and they offered for me and Mike to have “Man Date 2”, which we did Thursday night. And now I’ve got Red Robin Gift Cards to give to you! You can use them to try out any burger you’d like but I would certainly recommend the Prime chophouse Burger. Check out this deliciousness…
