The definitive guide to modern macro photography, this book explains the basics of equipment, focusing, exposure and magnification ratios alongside such topics as lighting for effect, color as a compositional device and using depth of field creatively. With more manufacturers than ever before producing macro lenses and accessories, and digital technology offering fresh creative possibilities, there has never been a more exciting time to explore this macro world with your camera. The author explores digital techniques such as focus stacking and the use of smartphone apps both to compose shots on a camera via WiFi connection and to trigger cameras when shooting at high speed. With subjects ranging from classic close-ups such as plants and insects to micrographics and abstracts, plus showcases of the greatest exponents of close-up, this is a complete manual for achieving creative and professional results. Review: Great book - I just received this book and love it. The fact that the photos have camera settings next to them is quite helpful. There are many fantastic photos that challenge me in my efforts to document what most people never see in this world we inhabit. I highly recommend this book although to master macro you will have to be very patient and practice ,practice , and practice some more. Review: Macro photography is exciting and challenging also - Well done book on how to with lots of beautiful photographs with an overall lesson on how to do it yourself. I'm using a Sigma Macro f2.8 lens with motion suppressor and the focus motor is very quick and silent. The accompanying photo is one of my first and shot hand held and you can count the hairs on the insect's body. Shot at 1,000 second at f8. Depth of field is superb as is sharpness overall. This book gives many examples of what can be done with a variety of macro lenses and also combinations of lenses I did not know you could use and i'm a pro.

Excellent reference
I have recently read 3 books on taking photographs with my new micro 4/3 digital camera, and this was the easiest to comprehend and learn from. It concentrates on things I really need to know and did not waste my time, yet it was relatively complete.

Thorough and Well Written
I looked at a number of Macro Photography books and this was the most current, thorough and well written book. Particularly likes the exposure settings for all of the photos and multiple helpful suggestions and discussion of theory.

Good Macro How to Book
Great book, gives lots of information on how to produce macro or close up photographs. Only wish some of the subjects weren't insects

A visually rich guide to photographing small objects
I bought this book for me to help my macro photography. The bustle of the "holiday season" has kept me from doing much with it, but that's not the book's fault! Great photo examples and explanations of how they were achieved.
