Digital Abstract and Macro Photography

"Digital Abstract & Macro Photography" is as much a coffee table book as it is a technical instruction book. It teaches through visual inspiration (Wow! That's beautiful. What did it take to make it so special?). It is aimed primarily at the reader who has already read and digested one of the more than 800 existing books that thoroughly explain the inner workings of Photoshop (or other image manipulation software) but which have little time or space left for explaining how and where to apply that knowledge in practical and specific situations. It explains how to take and digitally process eye-catching, soul-grabbing photographs that take the photographer's vision further than it's used to going. It explains production techniques that are particularly suited to this type of subject matter, presenting them in a very friendly but concise manner. The focus is on learning visually and inspirationally, rather than strictly verbally.
