Format:Paperback
This 144 page book is beautifully illustrated throughout. It offers tips and expertise for the photographer interested in capturing the essence of flowers. The book is divided into three sections - what you need, ie. equipment; basic techniques - getting the camera settings right and digital image processing - enhancing the image and making it look better.
The images are accompanied by good advice for improving your skills and techniques. Example are given of the same shot taken with different exposures. The chapters on composition and backgrounds are useful. This book is easy to understand, but only scratches the surface of flower photography.

Format:Paperback
I have been looking for an 'inspirational' book on macro flower photography for some time - this is it. A well written book with chapters covering choice of camera and lenses, supports and filters, exposure, DoF, light, colour, backgrounds and composition, and a final chapter on digital image processing.
Previously I have bought books on 'macro' photography that have turned out to be more 'close-up' photography. This one is almost entirely dedicated to the use of a macro lens.
The illustrations in this book are beautiful - it is worth buying for the illustrations alone.

I have purchased this book after borrowing it from a friend. I love taking photographs of gardens and flowers but I am not very technically minded. I found this book enjoyable to read and easy to follow. I can dip into it to find the information I need quickly.

I found this book disappointing. The amount of digital information is very limiting, but would recommend Photographing Flowers.
