Book suggestions

When I first got my camera I was really interested in doing macro but got a little sidetrack. I have a renewed interest and I would also like to explore B&W. What would be some good suggestion/authors for books on these topics?


Thanks all,
Oren

Clicker, thank you for your suggestion. I have heard of this book. Will give it a look

roentarre, "Moved to Everything else section". No wonder I couldn't find it

I made a similar inquiry for info about B&W in the film section. Here's that thread, which has some pretty good info:

Michigan macrophotographer Mike Moats' book "Tiny Landscapes" contains beautiful images and brief, useful explanations. He usually shoots at a high f-stop. Here's a website:
tinylandscapes.com

I also have been pleased with Ross Hoddinott's "Digital Macro Photography."

Also, I love the Macro thread within BirdPhotographers.Net - It Ain't Just Birds. (Many of the photos in that thread are NOT of birds.) Mike Moats is a moderator of that thread. He and other photographers provide helpful suggestions — plus praise — to photographers who post in that thread. Visitors to the website may browse without charge, but there's an annual membership fee for some additional privileges.
