Like the rest of the For Dummies books, this one assumes that you have little or no background in the topic that you're reading about. Unlike some of the other Dummies books, the author Thomas Clark restrains from cracking stupid jokes every other paragraph. How refreshing! His writing style is direct, but friendly, without being condescending.
The book's first two chapters cover the basics of and the differences between macro and close-up photography. Here it got a little confusing: first Clark says the differences don't really matter, then he says that they do. You may have to read that twice to get what he's saying; it has to do with the ratio of your image size on your camera's sensor to the actual size of the subject. Once you understand this, you're ready to move on. Next, chapter 3 gets into composition and learning how to see creatively -- no photo book is complete without that. That completes Part I of the book.
Part II has four chapters that cover your photography tools: camera, lenses, reversing rings, extension tubes, and more. Clark gives you tips on shooting macro for both digital SLR cameras and for digital compact cameras that have macro capability. Part III covers lighting, composition, and exposure. Both natural light and artificial light sources are covered, and Clark gets more detailed about composition and how to select your exposures.
Part IV has six chapters on photographic subjects that you're likely to encounter with macro: nature, such as insects and plants; people and pets; product photos and still life; jewelry and other shiny stuff; and extreme macro. There's a chapter on post-production, which is what you do to your digital images once you get them onto your computer. Here I have a big bone to pick.
Background: I am a Nikon shooter and shoot only in raw (limited exceptions). My status as a photographer is best described as part-time professional in that I have a day job but make low level money on nights and weekends using my skills. I also only shoot with Nikon pro-level glass.
This book continues the great work of the Dummies series on digital photography to include Digital Photography Exposure For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)), Digital Photography Lighting For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)), and Digital SLR Photography All-in-One For Dummies. It is best described as a series for beginner DSLR users to intermediate users; typically consumer level users seeking to move up and soon to upgrade to cameras such as the Nikon D300s and higher for greater on camera control of exposure and lighting. This book introduces Macro Photography, a subject misunderstood by just about every consumer level shooter.
This book is written for a target audience of beginner photographers and serves as a good source of broad foundational knowledge from which you can build. Book layout is well thought and very logical, with the typical Dummies guide "readability" that I consider superb. The book covers equipment but does not push you into buying anything as some other authors tend to do in more advanced books.
