    Michael Bingham

    I have been an avid photographer since I was a young lad growing up in Northern Michigan. I was taught to be pragmatic since money was tight, and I was taught to be a free thinker to get the most out of life. I enjoy spending time with my American Bulldogs, teaching others what I know, and exploring nature. I am a man who wears many hats: husband, nurse, grampa, author, dog trainer, photographer and woodworker just to name a few.

      FOREWARD

      Thank you for purchasing this e-book. In these pages I will give you all the information you need to get you started in the exciting world of macro photography. I will give you the definition of this field of work, walk you through the equipment needed to get started, and also some of the options you may choose. I will then give you pointers on how to hone your skills to become a competent macro photographer, and I will give you some resources to research your craft further.

      To master macro photography you will need many hours of practice, peer review, self examination and then more practice. I can give you the knowledge needed to get started, but the motivation is up to you.

      Throughout this eBook I will refer to macro photography often as macro, and a macro photograph as a macro. This is because I am too lazy to type the word photography a zillion times. I hope you can live with that.

      Key terms will be noted in italics when they are
