Up Close, the latest ebook from Craft & Vision, is a detailed guide to the world of macro and close-up photography.

This beautifully illustrated guidebook written by Andrew Gibson takes a refreshing look at all the essentials for creating intimate landscapes. Andrew discusses the pros and cons of working with the best tools, as well as a variety of work-arounds for creating dynamic images without sacrificing image quality.

The specifics of crop factoring and magnification, focal length, focusing techniques, depth-of-field, lighting options, image stabilization, and use of extension tubes are all covered in three thoughtfully presented sections on equipment, technique and lighting. And the guide includes two in-depth case studies featuring the wonderful work of photographers Mandy Disher and Celine Steen.
