About this title

From Library Journal

Illustrated entirely in color, this solid book provides a fairly comprehensive introduction to the field of close-up and macro photography. In Part 1, the book logically discusses camera systems and lenses, along with special lenses and accessories for capturing flowers and insects in unique miniature worlds. The author then moves on to a discussion of film lighting, exposure, and filters for close-up photography. The third section of the book deals with composition and working in different environments, both indoors and outdoors. Davies concludes with helpful information about organizing one's files, digital photography, and professional work in this fascinating specialty. The appendix features graphs on calculating depth of field, determining exposure values, and other technical information. Beautifully illustrated and clearly written, this book will be of value to both amateur and professional photographers who wish to learn more about the challenges and pleasures of this unique field of photography.
