An excellent book for beginners or the more advanced. Beautiful pictures and clear interesting writing. Also includes great tips on indoor macro photography; setup, technique and ideas. The author covers more then just nature subjects and after reading this book you’ll have some interesting creative ideas to work with. He also gives some tips on specific equipment such as closeup lenes.

Photographer and instructor Bryan Peterson provides a sixth book on photography: this one on close-up work, to challenge common assumptions and ideas. Both traditional and untraditional viewpoints and camera shots are included in a survey on how to gain the most using minimal specialized equipment, offering new ways of using lenses and discovering unconventional subjects to photograph. Any library strong in photo techniques needs this.

Can’t wait to read the next one. If you are into close-up photography (non-macro)…just get this book.
