Closeup Shooting: A Guide to Closeup, Tabletop and Macro Photography

Closeup Shooting: A Guide to Closeup, Tabletop and Macro Photography Close-up photography is one of the most fascinating areas in photography. This illustrated guide will take the reader on a journey into the wonderful world of small, smaller, and smallest objects and show him how he can capture their beauty with photographic images. Each step of the way will be carefully explained; how to choose the right equipment, how to use ambient light or create artificial lighting, and how to conceptualize and frame the perfect shot.

Whereas the nature photographer is exploring facets and structures in his environment, the “table top photographer” is trying to shoot a small object, a product, or a small treasure for display on the web (e.g., eBay) or in print. Here, the choice of the appropriate lighting and backdrop, and the creative use of the camera’s features are key to a perfect image.

Cyrill Harnischmacher explains all aspects of close-up shooting for both inside the studio, as well as outdoors. This book is filled with beautifully illustrated examples and detailed instructions on how to set up a system and workflow for successful close-up photography.

Customer Review: Good but Not Enough Info.
There are many good ways to buy properties in this book but, some seem a little sketchy. They really push keeping the houses for your future, but do you really want to be a landlord, I don’t and would rather sell and move on, who wants to deal with that. I have friends with properties and it is a constant pain in the b…, if you don’t know how to fix small problems yourself you will be constantly hiring someone else to fix them and there goes all your profits. Peter never talks about taxes either rather painting a great picture of profit, yes he does talk about writing off the interest, but never about Capitol Gains tax that you will have to pay when you sell the house no matter how long you own it, you don’t have to pay it if you live in the house for two years but if you rent you will. There is defiantly money to be made now and in the coming years and I will use some of the resources (They give you access to there wed site for free) and ideas in this book to make some money, but think long and hard were you buy (neighborhood etc.) and if there is really enough profit in the property after you pay your real estate people, Taxes and other expenses. Good luck!!!
