The how to aspect is the strongest aspect of this book. The author shows how to build pens or staging areas for small creatures for easily photographing them and then returning them unharmed back into their world. He illustrates how to easily do this in the field by the side of a creek or pond or other area. He even included a section on moth traps and other approaches to collecting insects to photograph.Where the book falls short, though is still OK, is with the equipment and setup for macro photography. He provides a great deal of information for someone with a point and shoot camera or what the author refers to as a "bridge" camera, and also on retrofitted or repurposed use of slide duplicators and microscope stands, but too little on the best approach to take with a modern digital SLR or mirrorless camera and the available flash and bellows systems. At this time there are also more options for Canon DSLR shooters than for people shooting with Nikon or other brands of cameras (as with astrophotography).For the DSLR owner there is little information on how to best configure a bellows or provide for using current macro lenses or small flash units for macro photography. There are some with very limited funds but others where the limitation is more one of time available for their hobby and spending cash is preferable if it provides for a shorter learning curve and more time actually taking pictures.The software section that covers focus stacking which is now possible in the digital era and it is very well written and current as of this date and would alone make this book a good buy.I have purchased over one hundred books on photography over the years and cannot recall one that was better written or illustrated or as informative on a specific area of photography as this one. Highly recommended regardless of your level of expertise or amount of experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very inspiring. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2014* Excellent for those, like me, starting out. Great explanation of lens options, accessories required, how to "make-do," using equipment from film era as well as current macro lens choices. Good discussion about how to progress beyond 1:1 macro using bellows, reversing rings, adapting other lenses including enlarger and microscope. Also good tips on setting up lighting and the many options. Similarly strong section on focus stacking and the software options. The author (wisely) assumes that most people are on limited budgets when starting out so gives very realistic advice. Final section on how to prepare for a shoot is great - specifics are given for plants, insects, animal etc examples. I found this an invaluable and inspiring book that has me clamouring to shoot greater than 1:1 macro. I know I will keep referring back to it on a regular basis. Very engaging and no-nonsense style with plenty of pictures to show set ups and specific gear. Thoroughly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ how to do it all *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2014* I'm a total rookie to macro and feelI am off to a good start by benefitting from this writer's extensive experience. All very clear, and lots of references to suppliers of handy tools. Software is also very well covered, with pros and cons of available choices. Work flow suggestions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/19013753-extreme-close-up-photography-and-focus-stacking](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/19013753-extreme-close-up-photography-and-focus-stacking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
