Often need a break and want to photograph something to get my creative juices flowing, I just let my viewfinder wander across my desk. It is a cluttered world full of all sorts of items that keep my work space my own. Today I have a 20mm Nikon mounted on my camera and the closest focus is about 9 inches. On a wide angle that is still no close enough to isolate stuff so I have released my lens and just held it up to the D700 body and moved it around, it is my poor-mans Lensbaby. Got me a lot tighter to my subjects.
