5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Inspirational, 26 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Peter Watson distills 25 years of experience as a photographer into a collection of images spanning one year in the UK to produce a book that is a celebration of the rich and varied landscape that is the British Isles. These inspirational photographs are matched with a text that is both informative and thought provoking. After reading this book you'll want to wake at 5am every morning just to catch the light at sunrise. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been better., 25 Nov 2006
By Mark Gould (Nottinghamshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Light in the Landscape (Paperback)
I really like the idea behind this book, it has the potential to provide inspiration throughout the year. There is a great difference in the colours, in the light and in the weather in a year. I don't know if the book really was compiled from photographs taken just over the period of one year, if it was I think that may be quite an ambitious undertaking. There is a difference in the photographs of each month, but perhaps not such a difference as there could have been, for example I think I saw only one picture that included mist... I don't think there were any pictures that showed the effects on colour the rain has (and surely we get plenty of rain here!) and in a few pictures the dark skies seemed more due to the use of too dark a graduated ND filter. I also wasn't too keen on the general layout... I've never understood why a book would have pictures that were slightly accross two pages when they could easily be on one page, or why a book would have pictures that were right against the centre of the two pages... both of these things make it hard to see the whole picture!

Having raised all of these criticisms, I really enjoyed reading the text, a little about the history of the picture helps (rightly or wrongly) to appreciate it a little more... from a photographers point of view it is also interesting to know what lengths another photographer has had to go to to get the photograph! There are some beautiful photographs in this book, but also quite a few "ordinary" ones which is a shame.

Overall I enjoyed the book, but feel it was let down by a number of largely avoidable issues. Perhaps one thing it does show is how difficult it is and how patient a photographer has to be to get those beautiful photographs we seem to take for granted!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful pictures, excellent prose, 27 Mar 2006
By Francis King "Frank King" (Calgary, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Light in the Landscape (Paperback)
U.K. photographer Peter Watson goes over British/Scottish/Welsh landscape photographic opportunities throughout each month. His pictures are extraordinary, many with phenomenal skies. That's one of his keys and you can tell he has a great deal of patience (and, apparently, a flexible schedule) to be in the right place at the right time. As a photographer, I found his explanations behind each picture excellent -- detailed, yet still fascinating to anyone with any sort of interest in the artistic process of photography. But those pictures! They'll keep you coming back to Light in the Landscape time and time again.
