Product Description
Product Description
This beautiful book showcases the shortlisted and winning photographs from the first major Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. 'Take a view', the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition, is the brainchild of Charlie Waite, one of today's most respected landscape photographers. Together with AA Publishing, he has created this prestigious competition and award. With a total prize fund exceeding GBP 20,000, plus a six-week exhibition at the National Theatre in London, 'Take a view' is set to become a desirable annual competition for photographers of all ages for years to come. Britain's heritage is celebrated by people around the world and entries are welcome from everyone, whether resident in Britain or simply visiting, as long as the image is of the British Isles. The full-colour book of best entries will showcase the best pictures from amateur and professional photographers alike. There will also be an award for the Young Landscape Photographer of the Year and each of the four main categories will be represented in the book in four main chapters. Each chapter will be divided into both adult and youth sections.

Format:Hardcover
I couldn't wait for this book, and I am please that this exciting event has had a book printed in its honour. Charlie Waite, one of the UK's most celebrated and respected landscape photographers is this events brainchild and the book is published by AA Publishing.
The book opens to an introduction, covering the competitions categories, the sponsors and special prizes. There is then a foreword by Charlie, giving his thoughts about the subject of landscape photography, environmental issues, the judging and expressing his love of the land.
The book is very well put together physically, the pages are of very high quality, and the images are printed to a very high resolution, meaning the viewer receives their full impact and details. Each image has a page dedicated to it, some bleed onto two pages. Where this happens, I find that the image becomes slightly disjointed and the viewers eyes are unable to rest on the image as a whole, however, it is not too much of an issue. Each image is credited to the photographer, with a title, followed by a small written piece about the location and the reasons behind the photographers justification to taking the image. Unfortunately there are no technical details at all covering camera, exposure, film, filters and post production etc. I don't think it would of been too much of an issue to include such information, after all, most people who will purchase this book will be photographers. Again, the photographers themselves have their website details printed at the back of the book giving the reader a chance to visit and view further works.
To sum up, a very good quality book, in both materials and presentation, lacking a little with information, however this is not detrimental over all, and the images are of a good size giving the viewer satisfaction. Well done Charlie, well done the AA.

I received this book as a Christmas present, and was not disappointed. (I had requested it). Nicely laid out, with images of a sufficient size to appreciate the subject matter and skills of the individual photographers. The book is a joy from cover to cover.

This is a quality item. Beautiful images with a diverse range and thoughtful presentation. The quality in the publication and reproduction is five stars. Its very insightful to read the photographer thoughts which accompany each images. Now having the first three of these collections I consider them in the top ten photography books I have ever viewed.
