Praise for this book

"The definitive guide to modern macro photography." --Photography News on Mastering Macro Photography

"The book has good, clear, and well reproduced images. These illustrate the diverse subjects very well, and in particular some of the quite subtle effects of different lighting and settings that can make or break an image... a great introduction to photographing smaller parts of the world." --North Light Images on Mastering Macro Photography
