As one of Europe's foremost authorities on insect photography, Robert Thompson insists that a medium format camera system is the key to producing quality images in the field. In this definitive study of his renowned techniques, instructive text and 300 color photographs celebrate the glory of the natural world in the most striking way possible-right up close. From choosing a camera system and accessories to understanding principles of composition and design, Thompson offers practical guidance and professional techniques that can make anyone a better photographer. He explains the best places and times of day to locate your insect subjects and detailed technical discussions of such topics as extreme magnification, innovative uses of filters and flash, operating in the field and even marketing your work for publication or sale. Thompson's breathtaking images, broad entomological knowledge, and contagious enthusiasm make this a volume equally appealing to both photographers and naturalists.
