'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 created these prestigious awards for the best images of the British Isles. The competition is open to entrants from all over the world, with an eight-week exhibition at the National Theatre. This book showcases the best pictures from amateur and professional photographers alike, from the sixth annual competition. Following publication, Take a View announced that the overall winner of the Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards 2012, David Byrne, had been disqualified due to the extent of the digital manipulation techniques used in his images. The book was prepared by the publisher long before the winners were announced to the public and therefore the current version of the hardback book on sale contains the former winning image by David Byrne, while the newly announced winning image 'Condemned' by Simon Butterfield appears on page 127 of the current version of the book. The revised results of the other categories are as follows: Classic view winner - Simon Park 'The Wave', p32; Classic view runner-up - Craig Denford, 'Beech Trees, pp40-41; Urban view winner - Bill Terrance 'Light Rain in Edinburgh', p128; Urban view runner-up - Giles McGarry, 'Inauguration', p133

As an avid Landscape Photographer, I've collected all previous five editions.
This edition is by far the best.
Previous editions, although excellent, had many similar images of the same regular photogenic locations around the country each year, for example, The Dark Hedges in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
This edition has less duplicates and different images of the same locations, I think probably due to the unusual weather we've had in the last year. Those of the above location are particular atmospheric.
There are some truly outstanding and unusual images in this latest edition.
If you've read some reviews of previous editions and decided not to get this one, I'd recommend you change your mind and get this one. Definitely the best edition so far!
Recommended to anyone who loves beautiful scenery and / or anyone who needs some inspiration to take better photographs! It certainly makes me want to get out more with my camera, especially at times of the year or day, or in weather, I would not normally go out in.

Another good book, lots of great photos, only i wish they would not show the same photos,but by different photographers,also I feel sorry for the photographer who was disqualified as his images were very good, at the end of the day,this should have been spotted long before going to print.

No book can do full justice to these photographs - you really need to visit the exhibition (annually at the National Theatre in London) to see the huge enlargements displayed there. But this is a great collection of some of the best of current landscape photography. Some people complain that the images are over manipulated: that is not a view I share. (Indeed, the original winning image - as shown in the book - was actually subsequently disqualified for over manipulation.) Certainly, in-camera techniques such as ultra long exposures (using 10 stop neutral density filters) can give a view of the world which we cannot see with our naked eyes, and post processing to adjust selectively tonal range or colour can alter the image from the scene originally viewed by the photographer. But photography is an art form like any other, and some personal interpretation is part of the beauty of these images: they still show the content of the scene in front of the camera. Many of the images have had very little post-processing carried out at all.
A collection of stunning images worthy of any bookshelf or coffee table.

Landscape Photography book
Beautiful photographs, but I hadn't realised that the cover of this edition would not have the winning photograph so that was a bit disappointing.
