Digital Macro & Close-up Photography (Revised and Expanded Edition)

I have read Ross Hoddinott's previous version of this book and it is interesting to see the improvements he has added to this newer version. Ross has improved his own photography and this is clear by the wide range of stunning close up photographs from insects to feathers and some interesting projects with household objects. My favourite parts of the book are making insect photography accessible to all with good advice on time to photograph and how to get those elusive dragonfly shots. There is an interesting section on using water droplets to create refraction effects with some lovely examples Ross has explained clearly so all could follow his lead. An excellent book for beginner and intermediate macro photographers.

I bought this book as I wanted to learn how to take macro photos. Have read from cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed this book, lots of hints and tips and easy to understand as a beginner to macro photography.

This is a nicely prepared book with lots of good ideas for a first time user of a macro lens.

Good information for macro photography

Heaps more useful information for the macro addict in the Revised Edition, even if you own the original publication. As usual, Ross explains things very clearly, and the inclusion of the camera settings for each image is always very helpful. Would highly recommend for beginner or experienced alike.

Fantastic book, with clear and concise instruction guides and amazing example images, a must have purchase for anyone thinking of getting into this genre of photography.

bought as a xmas gift for my dad as he is keen on moving into this area of photography, being an amateur photographer, this book looked like the perfect starting point for him.Arrived in time for xmas and yet to get feedback on info in book, but was excellent quality

I am of the opinion that if you learn something really great in 2-3 pages of a book the book is already worth the money. Very good to learn the basics.

Fantastic book for the beginners.Very much informative.

useful tricks and pics are amazing.

Ble libro, ben scritto e ben illustrato. Da questo punto di vista, Ross Hoddinott è sempre una garanzia. Consigliato vivamente.

The text is unreadable since it is not formatted for digital use but rather appears to be a simple scanning of the paper version. If you zoom in to better see the text you soon get tired at looking at the poor resolution used. Finally, neither the index nor any other part is hyperlinked. If it had been possible I would have given it 0 stars.

Super
