This book is account the amount for the amazing images alone. More importantly, John Shaw's adeptness to explain circuitous accurate issues and techniques with accuracy makes this one of the best "how to" books I accept anytime apprehend on any topic.
Here are a few of the book's appearance that I abnormally acknowledge with anniversary re-reading:
1. Thorough abstruse data beside anniversary shot; 2. Emphasis on affectionate nature, and adequate attributes photography; 3. Appreciation of acceptable photo accessory for its capability and convenience, accumulated with suggestions for improvising to abate amount (such as how to shoot arresting closeups afterwards advance in a macro lens); 4. Lots of Nikon-specific accessories references, but mentions Canon equivalents; 5. Ethical, advancement photographers not to annoy creatures or accident plants in the wilderness; 6. Did I acknowledgment the amazing images?
His newer "Nature Photography Field Guide" is aswell brilliant,and appropriately abounding of superb images, admired tips, and added inspiration. There is little overlap amid the two.
"Closeups in Nature" opens up a new apple of acumen and announcement for photographers. Treat yourself or a columnist acquaintance to a copy.
This is the best (non-darkroom) photography book accessible today, even by John Shaw's standard. John Shaw is like a adept craftsman, a acclimatized technician, a accurate artisan and a accommodating mentor, he tells you from fine-tuning a beat to alternate failure, from tripod to home-brewed beam bracket, not to acknowledgment every lens focal ambit and its appliance in macro photography. The book is able-bodied organized, a lot of every affiliate is committed to a specific blazon of accessories (flash, tripod or a focal range), yet this is not a book about equipment, it is a book about photography, or rather about the author's eyes and aesthetics in photography.
It's a abashment that the book's press superior is bad, the book becomes burst afterwards a few readings. The pictures are not cool aciculate either. This ability be the after-effects of bad publishing, or it ability be John Shaw's abhorrence to user beyond architecture (which has consistently been a abstruseness to me). Hard to brainstorm as accurate as he is, he is not advancing the ultimate superior of images.
