I discovered the work of Guy Edwardes when I borrowed the book "100 ways to take better landscape photographs" at my local library. I loved the photos and the accompanied explanations and I bought my own copy soon after. When I heard about his new book, I added it to my wishing list and got it as a present and I haven't been disappointed!
This new book uses the same format as the first one. On each page, Guy Edwardes gives some advice on a specific subject, such as composition, lighting, equipment, and illustrates it with a photo and an additional text related to how and where the photo was taken. I particularly like the technical detailed info for each photo (aperture and speed settings, lens, use of a tripod, extender, hide, flash, location...). I also like the way the author tells us about the conditions and the difficulties behind the photos. The text is fluid, not too technical and is written like a short story. The photos are amazing and very inspirational.
Wildlife photography is not easy and while it can be the result of luck, Guy Edwardes provides a lot of precious tips about preparation and research to increase the chance to take great photos.
A book for any photographer interested in taking better photos and to anyone who likes to look at beautiful photos of nature and wildlife.
