ABSTRACT

The choice of lens is critical, and this book will examine in detail the types of lenses most appropriate for this type of photography, and how to get the best results from them. The lens used will help determine viewpoint and depth of field, which is a critical issue in close-up and macro photography, both in terms of the main subject, and the background behind it. In Chapter 3 we examine depth of field and various factors behind it, and how to achieve the best compromise between image quality and subject depth.
