WePhoto - 2016 - Macro - Vol 2
WePhoto “The Series” MACRO Vol 2 Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 15 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calendars 2016. This new collection – The Series - is made of different eBooks, each one (or more than one if required) related to a specific photographic theme, including the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. This is the second eBook of the third line of this new collection and has been dedicated to Macro and Close-Up Photography.
We are all so excited and happy to be able to collect such beautiful images and, most of all to be able to share them with a wide audience. Spread, share, recommend everyone to download eBooks from our webpages and links below. Also make sure to leave your feedback on the eStores – 5 stars comments would be great. RATE IT!

Macro and Close-Up Questo genere fotografico descrive un mondo particolare, nascosto, piccolo, segreto. Esplorare questo mondo non è facile. Oltre alla professionalità , alla cura dell'immagine, bisogna avere pazienza. Aspettare, esplorare luoghi invisibili per dare a noi la visione di una bellezza nascosta. Insetti che sembrano giganti delle favole, colori, forme affascinanti. Voglio ringraziare, a nome di tutti i lettori, questi esploratori che ci donano emozioni visive altrimenti irraggiungibili.Macro and Close-Up
Macro and Close-Up This photographic genre describes a particular world, hidden, little, secret. Explore this world is not easy. Besides the professionalism, the care of the image, you have to be patience. Wait, explore unseen places to give us a vision of a hidden beauty. Insects that look like giant of fairytale, colors, fascinating forms. I want to thank, on behalf of all readers, these explorers that we give visual excitement otherwise unreachable.
Mario Buncuga January 2016

Andrew Oostenbroek Brisbane, Australia
My name is Andrew Oostenbroek, I live in Brisbane Australia. As a child I watched in amazement as my father produced amazing images from his Minolta SLR camera showing them on family slide nights. Most of all I was captivated by his nature shots and macro. Sadly he passed away when I was just 12 years of age but his photography passion lived on through me. I am purely self taught having never had a lesson. I have done a lot of reading and experimenting over the years. Photography is a passion I will have for life. My camera is a Sony SLT-a77 and the lenses I use are many consisting of a combination of Sony and Zeiss brand lenses. 9

Cidinha
Cidinha BarnabĂŠ Salto, Brasil I am a psychologist and photography is a moment of pleasure and relaxation. My father taught me the pleasure of photographing. Shooting details is a great exercise that leads to a rich and beautiful world. Textures, colors, details, bring us information that enrich our senses. I'm interested in flowers and enjoy exploring the many different angles. Always a surprise! Playing with light, play with shadows, sharpens my perception. I have a lot to learn, and it motivates me to read a lot, study and learn from photographers friends. Practice and study are infallible weapon to improve the art of photography. My camera is a Canon T 3i. The lenses are a Canon 100mm MACRO f/2.8 and Canon 18/200mm sometimes in combination with 25mm extension tube. 33

Eugenio
Eugenio Sollima Cassino, Italy
I live in Cassino, Italy, where I was born in 1981. My passion for photography originated in the early teenage years and has gradually went intensifying and focused on the natural kind. The area where I live allows excursions and is crossed by streams, lush fields, isolated paths; but just look out the terrace of the house, to see the little \ great wonders of the animal and plant kingdom. For me, photography is just the revelation and appreciation of what the human eye perceives hastily in his restless wanderings. Currently, for the macro, use Canon 700D with lens Sigma 105mm f / 2.8 DG OS HSM Macro combining, if necessary, with lens Raynox DCR-250. 45

Fabio
Fabio Pisciotta Palermo, Italy My name is Fabio Pisciotta , I was born in Palermo (Italy), city in wich I also live. I always had a passion for photography, in 2007 I discovered and fell in love with Macro Nature Photography , a kind of photography in my opinion beautiful, full of fascion, that requires a lot of patience, details, depth of field, composition, light and backgrounds. Macros are a mix of sacrifice, patience and study. The sacrifice of getting up very early, the patience of looking for what you want to photograph and the study for the construction of the shot. So when I can, I get up ver yearly and just go. Now the question is "What do youwant to communicate with a macro?" The charm and beauty of the subject, details that usually escape us. 57

Nik Peter Liew Penang, Malaysia Serious in Macro Photography end of 2014. Lucky to know some friends that share the same passion and we grow together in learning and mastering the skills needed for Macro Photography. The place I stay nearby (Public Parks and Nasional Forrest Reserve) offers a great collection of insect species for my photo shooting especially spiders and beetles. I love Macro Photography is because they are so nice, small and colourful thru our Macro Lens which is unseem by our naked eye. Love the Nature and they will love us back ‌ Camera equipment: Canon 6d | Canon 100mm f2.8 L | Raynox filter | YN560 flash with DIY Diffuser 69
