Close-up Photography
by
Alan Constant (Paperback - January
2000)
Book Description
Close-up photography is used in a variety of areas
such as nature, medical and forensic, instruction
and training, archiving, and the arts. The first
part of the book is dedicated to the technical side
of closeup work, including the equipment required,
how to meter in close-up work, special problems,
magnification and methods of achieving it, lighting,
and electronic flash. The second part is the
practical side of close-up work with an introduction
to elementary composition, photographing mechanical
subjects, crystals under polarized light, and nature
photography. Heavily illustrated with diagrams,
tables and color throughout, Close-up Photography
also includes mathematical formulas that have been
simplified and explained with examples.
Many photography books have some information about
close-up work, but usually the subject is not
treated in-depth and the variety of problems likely
to come up when the photographer begins magnifying
are not addressed. Most often, other books seem to
deal with the use of a macro lens and ignore or
gloss over other methods. This book weeds out the
misinformation and the over-complication of
technique to give the reader a real understanding of
the field.
Practical 'how to' advice covering the many
different areas of close-up photography
Beautiful color photographs throughout the book
A reference guide for anyone interested in learning
the tricks and tips of close-up photography

John Shaw's
Close-ups in Nature
by John Shaw (Paperback
- September 1, 1987)There's more than one way to shoot
a frog, as Shaw demonstrates in this splendid book, a thorough
course in practical field techniques for closeup photography using a
35mm single-lens reflex camera. Although hobbyists who want to
capture the flowers in their garden can glean ideas for composition
or the best time of day to photograph, this detailed work is
intended primarily for the serious amateur or professional. Success
in close-up photography, Shaw maintains, depends on control, and he
advocates meticulous experimenting and testing of equipment and
supplies before one attempts to photograph in the quickly changing,
unpredictable conditions of the field. Shaw (The Nature
Photographer's Complete Guide to Professional Field Techniques) is
an excellent teacher, establishing a common vocabulary with the
reader, presenting lavishly illustrated new material that builds on
previous knowledge, repeating important concepts and techniques for
emphasis. He believes that technical competence frees the
photographer to concentrate on esthetics, and his inspiring pictures
are beautiful artwork fields of flowers that evoke impressionist
paintings, delicate dogwood blossoms reminiscent of Oriental
designs, rare glimpses of snowflakes or raindrops on a yew needle.
