All skill levels of photographers will find many; many useful tips and instructions. You will want to read and reread this book many times. It is that good! Instead of some books wishy-washy _ "You could do this; or you could do that;" or "Watch me. This is how you do it." like some authors; the Gerlachs TEACH; take a stand; like "Do it this way for good results; based upon our experience.". Great tips on everything from how to set up you camera; to all the variations of how to use flash effectively - AND they take time to explain WHY this or that technique works better than some other technique. There are also lots of useful tips about equipment; too. As I said; they are teachers - Tell; Show; invite to Do; and Review before moving on to the next subject. Just excellent!.Overall; I found this to be one of the best and most useful photography books that I have yet found. I highly recommend it. It should be on every photographers bookshelf.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. If you like close up photography; this is the book youve been waiting for!By Jane PalmerThis book is what close up photography has been hoping for! It is jammed with clearly presented cutting edge techniques that will turn your ordinary close ups into treasured images. Things like focus stacking and using flash effectively are taught in a very easy to understand way. Before this information; I had a flash but had no idea how to use it successfully. And I was afraid of trying focus stacking; it seemed way too complicated. Much to my surprise; this book broke down the fundamentals in a way that was easy to understand and even easier to implement. And the results were such an improvement over my previous attempts. Get this book; grab your camera and prepare to have some fun!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. You wont be disappointed!By Brian RIn keeping with their earlier photography books; this book is written in a very clear and easily understood manner. Its packed with very useful information for all nature photographers; novice to professional. John and Barbara love to teach photography to others and that excitement comes through nicely in the organization and detail of this volume. Concepts are explained carefully and thoroughly. Excellent tips are found throughout.Their photographs are beautiful yet they include only those necessary to explain their concepts and recommendations. If you were only able to own one book on macro nature photography; this is the one to have.
