Focal Press Launches New Book Featuring Techniques for Photographing Waterdrops

Focal Press, a leading publisher of media technology books, today announced the availability of “Photographing Waterdrops: Exploring Macro Worlds with Harold Davis.”

This beautifully illustrated how-to photography guide serves as both a technical tutorial and visual photography inspiration. Its collection of imagery explores the world within the tiniest droplets of water, making it a unique gift or coffee table book as well. It is now available for purchase on FocalPress.com, Amazon.com, and BN.com (ISBN: 9780240820729, $29.95).

Written by award-winning photographer Harold Davis, author of more than 30 books including the bestselling title, “Photographing Flowers: Exploring Macro Worlds with Harold Davis,” this photography book is intended to offer a fresh, creative perspective into the dynamic possibilities of natural waterdrop photography.

“The photographic opportunities offered by waterdrops are as unique as they are fleeting,” said Davis. “Encapsulated inside each waterdrop is a movement of light, focus and shadow offering a fisheye view of the world that is both recognizable and recognizably abstract.”

Davis draws from his professional expertise and artistic perspective to offer advice on capturing extraordinary waterdrop compositions. Readers learn how to use light and reflections to their advantage, which tools and equipment work best for macro photography, and how to perfect their waterdrop shots both before and after shooting.
