Product Description

Product Description
You won't find a better collection of nature photographs - the best from 20 years of the prestigious international Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition - representing most of the world's top photographers. There are more than 170 photographs in this lavish, large-format book, covering all natural subjects, with an emphasis on beauty - colour and form as well as unforgettable scenes of both animal behaviour and landscape - grouped in the following chapters: Illuminations, Portraits, Moments, Formations, Reflections, and Connections. Each picture is accompanied by amemorable and informative caption, and each chapter has an introduction by a famous photographer or personality, from Yann Arthus-Bertrand to Jim Brandenberg and Chris Packham. An index of photographic details is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!, 27 Jul 2006
By F. Stafford-Baker - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No artist's studio should be without the indescribably beautiful Light on Earth. You're bound to find something in there to cure even the most severe creative block. Unless you're a photographer, in which case steer clear; when you realise just what you've got to compete with, you'll be burning your portfolio! It's spoiled me for other books in its field - I bought "Wide Angle: National Geographic Greatest Places" at the same time and it left me cold.

Light on Earth is very well printed (I speak with some authority on the subject!), the captions insightful and its appeal is wide enough to make it the perfect reserve present to have tucked away somewhere incase you forget a birthday. Whether it ends up on a coffee table or squeezed between Kipper's Sticky Paws and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, it's going to be cherished. Even my 18 month old nephew was mesmerized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating images, 4 April 2008
By M. Hunt "M Hunt" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of these books which, if given as a present, results in the recipient being somewhat distracted for the foreseeable future.

The pictures in it are diverse, well presented and accompanied by just the right amount of introductory text. This is a book to examine and wonder at, to browse through and remember why we ought to be treating this planet better then we do, and what we are going to lose or have already lost.

What you are not going to get from this book is the 'how', although looking at the pictures it is obvious that you need to stop getting up and going to bed at the normal time and be very patient. And probably use a tripod. And make your next birthday list one that says "long, fast lens".

It is going to give you ideas for photography, scenes, light, composition and places and things to go to , see and experience. And hours of pleasure too.
