Macro and close-up photography allow photographers to explore a world that few people ever experience: the delicate stamens of flowers, crystals, the texture of a butterfly's wing, stamps, or minute details on a piece of jewelry. With careful attention to the techniques taught in this book, photographers will learn how to capture these highly detailed, small-scale subjects on film, creating fascinating images of features too small to be adequately observed by the unaided human eye. With the advice in this book on selecting the latest 35mm equipment, and field versus studio considerations like focusing, lighting, film, and filters, consistent results will come easily to both the novice and professional photographer.

Not the best book for macro photography,
By A Customer
This review is from: Macro & Close-Up Photography Handbook (Paperback)
It is the most useless book for macro photography I ever read. The pictures are unsharp and mostly in b&w. You can get the information from this book in every basic photography book ... worthless! The language used is not very easy for beginners and advanced macro photographers know everything described in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A study in macro,
By
This review is from: Macro & Close-Up Photography Handbook (Paperback)
Background in macro and close up photography is given to acclamate the reader with some of the technical aspects involved. Equipment and their usage is explained. If you are still into film, you will definitely be satisfied with this section, although the theory can easily be applied to digital. What is covered in the beginning is then applied to practical use later. Lastly, case studies are implied to illustrate the affects of various factors. Overall, a well written, informative and intriguing book with a nicely flowing text from section to section.
