I consider myself an experienced amateur; having purchased a D3300 from a local camera shop on 2/25/16 and since have close to 40 pictures on two stock photo sites. I know not that many but it's only the start of my posting on the sites. Anyways this book starts at the basics and I found it really helpful that it reinforces that you don't need a dedicated macro lens to shoot macro. I own a macro lens (85mm micro Nikkor) and I think it is great. Takes some getting used to and is a pretty heavy lens but for starting out all you need to get decently close is the kit lenses that came with your camera. The books also shows and describes tools such as ring flashes, extension tubes and things like that. Lighting, composition, depth of field, light types, background types and even photographing specific subjects. I found it helpful and even go back and re-read specific chapters just to keep what I learned fresh in my mind. As being self taught in the art of photography I can say this book is a great first step in learning macro photography. Does it have all the techniques and answers? Of course not but like if you're looking to get your feet wet in the area of macro photography it's a perfect place to start. Take what you learn in the book, put your own spin on it and go out there and create macro/micro photos that show your photographic style. All photos added to my review were taken hand held with my 85mm micro Nikkor. Review: Helpful and well done - Generally helpful and well done but more detail was needed for beginners. There is an assumption that all readers will know the basics. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,670,837 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,012 in Photography (Books) #2,568 in Digital Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (95) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.5 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0134057414 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0134057415 | | Item Weight | 1.06 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | From Snapshots to Great Shots | | Print length | 225 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2015 | | Publisher | Peachpit Pr | ## Images ![Macro Photography: From Snapshots to Great Shots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nsN4GrLML.jpg) ![Macro Photography: From Snapshots to Great Shots - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91l64EnAkwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money *by M***E on July 4, 2016* Great book for anyone looking to learn the basics of macro photography.

There is an assumption that all readers will know the basics. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learned so much *by E***E on May 15, 2017* This book covers everything you need to know to go out and shoot macro and close-up photography. Macro photography can be challenging but can be shot any time and anywhere, as opposed to landscape subjects where you usually have to travel, subjects for macro are all around us. I highly recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14374268-macro-photography-from-snapshots-to-great-shots](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14374268-macro-photography-from-snapshots-to-great-shots) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
