Amphoto Book: Understanding Close-up Photography: Creative Close Encounters With or Without a Macro Lens

Many books on close-up photography deal with shooting flowers and bugs, but Bryan Peterson`s Understanding Close-up Photography: Creative Close Encounters With or Without a Macro Lens from Amphoto shows you how to see this kind of image capture in a different light. Peterson teaches the art of shooting traditional subjects in non-traditional ways--and often with minimal specialized equipment. Perhaps you`ve snapped close-ups of dewdrops, but have you shot them on a bird`s wing? You`ve captured many images of flowers, but have you ever focused on just a single petal in the summer sun? Peterson inspires you to go beyond the ordinary, finding different ways of getting close and using your lenses to shoot the things you`ve shot before. He also opens your mind to the possibilities presented by subjects you may never have thought to photograph before.
