Equipment and Film- the best camera systems, tripods and heads, focusing rails, and filters for closeup photography; film data including information on low light exposure and reciprocity failure; and how to run a film test.
In the Field- Paralleling the subject for maximum depth of field; backgrounds and focal length; controlling natural light; and composing closeup photographs.
Extension- extension tubes and bellows; short, normal, and telephoto lenses; extending zoom lenses; macro lenses; and using a hand meter for extension closeups.
Electronic Flash- flash theory; black backgrounds and lens selection; handheld flash in the field; what size flash to use; how to make a butterfly bracket; positioning the flash; extension and inverse-square exposure; and through-the-lens flash.
Supplementary Lenses and Tele-converters— using zooms with diopters; adding flash to zooms with diopters; stacked lenses; flash with stacked lenses; and combination techniques.
Special Considerations- reversing a lens; movie-camera lenses for high magnifications; plastic bowl lighting; Nikon's 300mm ED-IF lens on extension; micro aquariums and well slides; articulating bellows; and diffraction and effective Astops.
