.The Complete Guide to Close Up & Macro Photography by: Paul Harcourt Davies 2002-01 I've read many books on close-up and macro photography. This one is different from the others, and perhaps the best of the lot. The stunning features of Davies' book is the author's compositional skill (the photos are fabulous), and his ability to relate the technical aspects of macro and close-up photography to the reader. Among his artfull techniques is his extensive use of wide-angle lenses for close-ups. How many other works on the subject explore this possibility? This alone justified purchasing the book for me, since I now make frequent use of the technique.

.Photographing Plants and Flowers by: Paul Harcourt Davies March 21, 2002 Taking good pictures of flowers is a specialty, and any help that a photographer can get in pursuing this endeavor is useful. Davies offers his ideas and pictures in a series of two page spreads. Some of these deal with particular families of flowers and environments and others with particular techniques applicable to flower photography. The book is profusely illustrated with the author's photos. There is probably a great deal of useful information here but its presentation is rather haphazard. The headings of each section don't give much help since they don't appear to have any organizing principle. Then, useful information may be buried deep within a paragraph dealing with an unlikely topic. There is a technical appendix that ...
