Focus on Photography: Photographing Insects by Mark Overmars makes insect photography fun and easy. Anyone can take beautiful photos of insects. With limited equipment, some basic knowledge, and a few simple techniques, you too can take spectacular insect photos within a few weeks.
Mark Overmars has taken more than 15,000 insect photos, starting with virtually no knowledge of insect photography and learning a great deal along the way.
He describes his twenty-week search for the best and easiest way to photograph insects. In that short time, he progressed from a beginner to an acclaimed insect photographer. This book can take you on the same journey.
This book covers everything you need to know about cameras and lenses, lighting, composition, settings, using a flash, and editing images. It also teaches you about insects and where and how to find them. It contains 250 insect images taken by the author.
The book is designed for amateur photographers with little time and limited resources. You will see that limited equipment and just a little knowledge and skill are all you need to photograph insects beautifully.
- Practical: Follow the author's progression from an amateur photographer to an experienced insect photographer.
- Beautifully produced: The book contains numerous spectacular color photos that serve as examples and inspiration.
- Comprehensive: After reading this book, you will have everything you need to take stunning insect photos yourself.
Rather than offering a general introduction to insect photography, the book follows Overmars's journey of discovery and describes his approach. Each section covers one week of that journey, and most stand on their own, so you can skip some if you are less interested in the subject.
