•Many digital cameras come equipped with close-up features—but few users understand them •Combines two of the hottest topics in photography today: digital and nature •Perfect companion to Digital Nature Photography. Some 59.3 million digital cameras will be sold this year—and most come fully equipped with close-up features that let users get up close and personal with all the wonders of nature, from birds and trees to flowers and insects to underwater plants and fish. But few buyers know how to get the most from these exciting features. Digital Nature Photography Closeup lets everyone—from amateurs on up—harness this new macro power to create truly breathtaking nature photography. The author offers advice on purchasing and using all manner of special macro equipment, i.e., lenses, extension tubes, teleconverters, microscopes, etc. In this logical follow-up to his best-selling Digital Nature Photography, author Jon Cox uses doszens of full-color examples and clear explanations to illustrate exactly how he got that shot—and how other photographers can, too. From basic techniques, to action shots, aquarium and underwater photography, even shooting through a microscope, Digital Nature Photography Closeup is the perfect guide to exploring the fascinating world of nature.

Too many photos, not enough instruction
This book had some helpful information but in truth, there were about 40 usable pages of information and the rest was merely an exhibition of his work. He could have left many of the photos and still have had sufficient illustration. Many of the photos, while excellent shots, seemingly were there to fill up space, with many being over-sized.
Thank you Jon Cox
What a fabulously concise and yet comprehensive book; with plenty of photopraphs which support the material. Technique and technical information is easily comprehensible.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in photography, beyond the simple point and shoot.

Expecting too much!
Maybe I was expecting too much from this book based on a fairly excellent customer reviews at amazon. I maybe expecting too much cause because to my surprise, the book dealt with point and shoot aside from DSLR cameras. I was kind of disappointed with that. I own a Nikon D200 and a Nikon 105mm f2.8 macro lens to learn the art of macrophotography and to my surprise coolpix camera shots were there....honestly i was turned off with that! If you are expecting a purely DSLR macrophotography on this book you may have to look elsewhere! I felt that there was something missing in this book. I know some of you out there knows what I mean...it lacks some oomph!!
Digital Nature Photography Closeup
This writer put some very nice photos into his book. He lists the camera and lens that he made the shots with but not the camera settings he used, which would be helpful to someone learning the art.
This is a beautiful book
This book is exactly as it says on the back cover....A Complete Guide to Macro Digital Nature Photography. And well done. Well worth my investment.
