The author goes into detail in each chapter. He discusses the choices available in lenses, extension tubes, filters, use of tripods, exposure requirements, lighting, flash techniques, and focusing. He devotes chapters on flower macro photography, water drops, close-ups in the studio, and in techniques such as HDR, selective focusing, motion, impressionism in macro work, colors and abstractions, etc. A chapter on resources, and other reading, is included. <br /> <br />All of the techniques that the author describes are well illustrated with amazing images. Even if you are not yet doing macro work, they should be looked at. Each image has been annotated with the lens, speed, f-stop, and iso used, and if tripod or hand held. <br /> <br />The book gets 4 stars from this reviewer. <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 This is a wonderful book that anyone who has an interest in delving into the arena of macro photography would be well served in reading.

Very important information the reader can apply when crating his photo shots.
