Flash Techniques for Macro and Close-up Photography : A Guide for Digital Photographers

Flash Techniques for Macro and Close-Up Photography - это презентация разнообразных решений для многих уникальных проблем, возникающих в процессе макро-и макросъемки. Эта работа обсуждает такие вопросы, как выбор специально разработанных объективов и позиционирования, чтобы избежать теней и др. We have always held frm that it’s the journey that’s most important—that from these experiences we grow as artists, as photographers, and as people. Through our lifelong exploration of the smaller side of light (and life), we’ve learned to appreciate the minuscule and see options hidden to most. It’s passion, courage, and insight that makes it all happen—that and a few beautiful and amazing tiny creatures and plants. Sadly, not all photographers share our outlook or reverence. They view these small living creatures as objects that can be photographed and tossed away. They talk (and write) of kill jars, stunning insects into submission, and even worse options. This is not just bad advice, it’s simply wrong. We would like to ofer another way of photographing them. We’ve discovered that with enough care, patience, and understanding anything is possible—without causing any damage or undo stress. If you take your time, if you ofer the respect due, these tiny subjects will welcome you. It will happen, and your images will prove it.
