I bought this book to provide a solid background on the art of Close UP and Macro Photography. It does that.I learned the difference between close up and macro photography and the 40mm prime lens that I already own, works extremely well for close ups of the flowers and circuit boards, etc. that I use as my current subjects. I have yet to get into the adapter rings and lens mounts, etc. required for true macro photography (1:1 on the sensor). Now, I have a direction and know what I have to do in order to photograph the compound eyes of a fly.
Liked the pictures and he wasn't stingy with nice pictures that inspired. And they helped to illustrate good composition, color and textures with respect to macro photography. I wondered what a whole book would have to say on macro photography--it's more than just snapping a closeup photo and he gets into more the artistic realm and adds some dimension with the use of filters and things in Photoshop. Nicely written. It was more than just a techy book.
This is a well thought-out book that is a good introduction to close-up and macro photography. It is not as detailed as Harnischmacher's recent book, but it is eminently readable and has a lot of good ideas. I not only enjoyed reading it, but learned some things I did not know as well.
Through a lens I see things differently. Everything is more beautiful. Mr. Humphrey helps you see the small details that we miss because of life's hustle
