Macro Photography
Picture A Small World
by Jim Zuckerman

Macro photography is a world unto itself. Filling the frame with small subjects opens up new and exciting creative possibilities for you, and if you haven't delved into this realm of photography up to now, I encourage you to do so. I'm sure you'll love it.

It is very easy to just go out with a macro lens and take pictures without considering the technical aspects of this endeavor, but the results will never be fully satisfying. Macro photography is all about the detail, and if you are going to shoot close-ups you need two important things: a tripod, and a small lens aperture.

Super Wides
Exaggerated Points Of View
by Jim Zuckerman

If you like straight, unaltered images and you diligently try to capture what you see with your eyes, super wide angle lenses are not for you. At the very least the images will give you a headache. However, if you like thinking outside the box (and sometimes outside the known universe!), and march to the beat of a different drummer, lenses in the 8-15mm range have an allure that will be irresistible. The distortion they introduce to a scene is intriguing, and it allows you to think very differently about the kind of pictures you want to take.

The Effects of Imagery on the Human Psyche
by Ron Leach, Publisher

With the tragic social and environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico we are once again reminded of the profound power of photography to rouse support for social causes like the environment, and motivate people to respond to disasters—be they man-made or acts of God.
