How to Photograph Close-ups in Nature (Paperback)

Close-up photography introduces us to worlds within worlds -- rainbows on a butterfly wing, a dewdrop clinging to a blade of grass; ice formations on a pool of water, the folds of a blossoming rose -- mysterious countries ripe for exploration. Master photographers and veteran teachers of close-up photography Nancy Rotenberg and Michael Lustbader discuss in detail the equipment, techniques, and aesthetic principles you need to know to create your own masterpieces. Using micro lenses and extension tubes, close-up flash techniques, lighting, exposure, composition -- all are explained in lucid text and illustrated with dazzling colour images.
