Product Description
Product Description
This title includes stunning new visions of the greatest city in Europe - 100 panoramic views in true perspective. It offers a unique introduction to London's spectacular architecture and heritage. Shot entirely with a classic panoramic camera, Denton's distinctive photography reveals some of the finest ever wide views of London, including cityscapes from vantage points never before accessed. The majority of the images are taken at the magic hours of dusk and dawn, offering richly saturated new interpretations of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Painstakingly waiting for the perfect light and weather conditions, Denton adds an entirely new vision to existing photography of London. Among the extraordinary views included are the high-level vistas from the Goldfinger buildings, from Tower 42, from the uppermost supports of Tower Bridge, from the London Eye and Wembley Arch, as well as breathtaking new views of London's famous parks and open spaces. London is where the historic past and a vibrant present come alive. Its blend of history and rich architecture ensure its must-see status around the world. This magnificent volume puts the city in an entirely new perspective.

It's easy to forget that London is the biggest city in Europe. It's also easy to forget on a busy, bustling day in the capital that it can also be quite beautiful. This book serves as a sumptuous reminder of both these facts, providing both the local and the tourist with a fantastic visual celebration of the British Metropolis.
I don't claim to be an expert on photographic technique, but the results speak for themselves in my opinion. using a panaoramic camera to take spectacular long-exposure widescreen images, Mark Denton seems to have spent the better part of a year in photographing famous landmarks and quiet corners in all seasons, capturing thier magic. The book also has some lively text and elegant notes from Denton on the circumstances (and sometimes the techinical background) of how he took the beautiful pictures, which run the gamut of colour and mood.
As a regular visitor to London, I feel Denton has captured it's majesty and I strongly recommend the book to anyone who loves the city - additionally, as a present for a visitor or friend overseas or elsewhere in the UK, it's just the job. A very handsome volume indeed !

A must have for anyone who loves London. It arrived today; I've just spent a very happy hour enjoying it and know that it will be enjoyed again and again. You will not be disappointed - far from it.
Format:Hardcover
This doesn't do it for me at all - no impact compared to the original full size version. I tracked down the full size version and am very pleased but this is a novelty in my opinion.
Listmania!
