The Ultimate Guide To Wildlife
Photography - Magbook

Details: It is hard to
imagine a genre of
photography that is
simultaneously harder,
more exhausting, more
frustrating and more
fulfilling than Wildlife
photography. There are
highs and lows when
trying to capture unique,
imaginative shots of
regularly shy, often
uncooperative and
sometimes endangered
species in varying
climates. Wildlife is
about preparation and
improvisation in equal
measure. You need to know
what you are doing so
that when a
once-in-a-lifetime frame
presents itself, you
have got the know-how and
experience to do it
justice deep in the
Rwandan jungle with a
gorilla staring at you is
not the place to be
perusing your camera's
manual. At the same time,
a good grasp of the
rules reveals how
flexible you can be in
your photography, and
how much you can bend and
break the rules in order
to take the shot that
no-one else has
considered. This MagBook
is designed to make you a
better wildlife
photographer and by the
time you finish reading,
you should have a working
knowledge of your
camera's more advanced
functions, as well as an
idea of the kit you might
need for your next trip.
Ideal for: The perfect
guide for amateur
wildlife photographers.

The Lost Photographs Of
Captain Scott

Captain Scott perished
with four of his fellow
explorers on their return
from the South Pole in
March 1912. Almost
immediately the myth was
founded, based on
Scott's diaries, turning
him into an icon of
courage in the face of
impossible circumstances.
But during the final
months of that journey
Scott also took a series
of breathtaking
photographs: panoramas of
the continent, superb
depictions of mountains
and formations of ice and
snow, and photographs of
the explorers on the
polar trail. But these
photos have never been
seen - initially fought
over, neglected, then
lost - until now, that
is. For the first time,
they are resurrected and
are a humbling testament
to the men whose graves
still lie unmarked in the
vastness of the Great
Alone.

The Malvern Hills

The Malvern Hills, an
official Area of
Outstanding Natural
Beauty, have fired the
imagination of painters,
poets, writers,
composers and scientists
for many years. And the
area has not lost any of
its power to surprise,
charm and thrill. The
Malverns run almost
directly north-south
along the
Herefordshire-Worcestershire
border, dipping into
Gloucestershire at its
southern most end. The
special quality of the
Malverns lies in the
contrasts. They make up
an easily identifiable
narrow ridge that thrust
above the patchwork
farmland of the Severn
Vale 600 million years
ago, producing a
mountain range in
miniature. Mike Smart's
collection of photographs
capture the spirit of
these hills.

A Year In The Life Of
Snowdonia

This is the seventh of
Bill Birkett's
prize-winning and widely
praised photographic
essays which portray,
throughout the seasons,
his love affair with the
wildest and most
impressive mountain areas
of Britain. Snowdonia,
the third largest
National Park in Britain,
is unsurpassed in its
variety of landscape. It
ranges through the high
rugged mountains around
Snowdon to the far-flung
high groups of the
Rhinogs, Arennigs and
Arans, and the mighty
Cadair Idris. It
stretches some 85
kilometres - from Conwy
and its magnificent
castle in the north to
Aberdovey and its Roman
road in the south.
Snowdonia attracts over 6
million visitors
annually. A leading
centre for all who love
the natural world and a
major recreational area
for climbers and walkers,
it is not a region of
complete wildness: adding
to its character are the
27, 500 people who live
and work there, in the
heartland of
Welsh-speaking Wales.
Some 65 per cent of the
inhabitants have Welsh as
their first language,
and have strong links
with other peoples of the
Atlantic coast, such as
Cornwall, Brittany and
the Basque region of
Spain. At 1, 085 metres,
Snowdon is the highest
mountain in Wales and
higher than any mountain
in England; its evocative
Welsh name Eryri means
'place of the eagles'.
Along with some of the
most dramatic and
magnificent scenery in
Britain, Eryri contains
a huge variety of
habitats for animals,
birds and plants. Between
the sea and the mountains
the region has 37
kilometres of coastline,
with beaches cut by deep
estuaries. Above the
coast, glacially carved
valleys fed by mountain
lakes and streams support
the remnants of
broad-leaved woodlands of
oak, ash, rowan and
hazel. There are more
National Nature Reserves
in Eryri than in any
other National Park in
Britain.

A Year In The Life Of
Greenwich Park

London's oldest enclosed
Royal Park, first
established in 1433,
Greenwich Park includes
several notable buildings
and offers some of the
finest views of London
and the River Thames.
Designers who worked here
include Andre le Notre,
the French royal
landscape designer who
laid out the gardens at
Versailles, and Inido
Jones, who designed the
Queen's House. On the
northern boundary lies
the old Royal Naval
College by Christopher
Wren, perhaps the
greatest baroque building
complex in Britain. the
park itself is host to
herds of deer, and its
noble avenues of trees,
its spring daffodils and
its huge expanses of
grass have long made it a
favourite haunt of the
people and animals of
South London looking for
fresh air and open
spaces. Rising above the
trees at the centre is
the great dome of the
Royal Observatory, home
to the Prime Meridian
Line, and world famous
in the annals of
navigation and
timekeeping. This
collection of outstanding
photographs captures the
magic of the park through
the year, and the
thoughtful, well
informed text highlights
its many notable and
remarkable features.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path

Pembrokeshire occupies
the far south western
extremity of Wales with
the ocean on three sides.
Its coastline is complex
and convoluted - a
succession of cliffs and
coves, inlets and
islands, stacks and
skerries and the great
drowned estuary of
Milford Haven. Many
justly claim this coastal
scenery to be among the
finest in the World. The
Pembrokeshire Coast Path,
an official National
Trail designated in 1970,
closely follows this
coast from Amroth in the
south to St.Dogmael's in
the north - a distance of
186 miles - almost
entirely within a
National Park. As the
meeting place of Celts,
Irish, Vikings, Welsh,
Normans, English and
Flemings, Pembrokeshire
is steeped in history and
thanks in part to its
fascinating geology its
shores are especially
rich in distinctive flora
and fauna. Nowhere is the
Coast Path far from
historic sites and
charming villages or the
fascinating small towns
of St David's, Pembroke
and Tenby. Flavoured by
the moods of the ocean,
this book captures the
atmosphere of the Coast
Path and the
ever-changing landscapes,
seascapes and the
settlements through which
it passes. It will evoke
treasured memories for
those who already know
Pembrokeshire, and
enthuse those for whom
that pleasure is yet to
come.
