Books by author: John Shaw

A nice overview of techniques for nature photography with a lot of gorgeous photographs given as examples (the reproduction quality is quite good — these photos just pop ). There is a fair amount of material that is specific to film photography, but there is plenty here for those of us who shoot digital. I found the discussion of lenses good, and the extended discussion of close-up photography very useful. I had been pining for a macro lens, but I'm now convinced that I'll be able to do just fine with a $50 diopter mounted on my existing lens.
