Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Guide to Bird and Nature Photography Book

Examining the range of cameras available, this book advises on the features and accessories which are most useful to both the snap-happy nature rambler or dedicated wildlife photographer. It explains the basics of using the equipment, more advanced and creative photographic techniques, and the field skills which are essential to putting all this knowledge effectively into practice. This includes knowing how to cope with adverse weather conditions, stalking or baiting your subject, remote control photography, and working from a vehicle. The author's own photographs illustrate the book throughout, including colour shots of wild flowers and butterflies, detailed close-ups, atmospheric landscapes, creative abstracts, dramatic black-and-whites, rare mammals, trees, rivers, fungi, and birds seen at rest and in flight. Laurie Campbell was "BBC Wildlife"'s Wildlife Photographer of the Year in 1992.Read More
