Photographing the Microworld

This extraordinary collection of photographs opens our eyes to an amazing and unusual view of our natural world through the lens of a camera, which has magnified both the familiar and the unfamiliar living things that surround us. Insects, flowers and plants are photographed in their environment in compelling detail. Many of these images are unique in including rare exotic species and some of the creatures are introduced to the public for the first time. The book's images are accompanied by professional photographers' recommendations on equipment and techniques necessary to obtain the types of photographic effects shown.
