Overview

Explore the amazing world of Close-up and Macro Photography and Focus Stacking with an internationally published photographer. Learn the techniques and equipment (optical, lighting and support) needed to achieve sharply focused, well-exposed photographs of flowers, insects and much more. This hands-on book will show you how to get the most from your DSLR and mirrorless camera and how to enhance its macro capabilities in very affordable ways. Find out, for instance, how to turn your ordinary lens into a superb macro lens for only a few dollars. Or how to turn your on-board flash into a macro flash for small change. The course covers every type of close-up shot, all the way to extreme macro, and equipment ranging from macro and reversed lenses to close-up attachments and bellows. It also covers focus stacking techniques (including processing through Photoshop and Helicon Focus) as well as software and equipment for extreme macro. A series of practice activities covers everything from photographing insects and spiders to water drops, jewellery, coins, flowers and plants. Nic van Oudtshoorn is a macro specialist and multi-award winning photographer whose work has appeared in newspapers, magazines, books, calendars and postcards worldwide, including Reader's Digest and Time. An accomplished documentary film-maker, his video footage has been shown internationally on television, including National Geographic and Discovery channels.
