5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding book, 28 May 2003
As someone who is a keen photographer who is looking at getting into wildlife photography, I have been looking and browsing Amazon for a few weeks trying to find a decent book.

I then came across this book by Andy Rouse a name that springs up in a few photography magazines and a Television program which has just recently been shown on Ch 5.

Seeing some of his work before I purchased the book just for the photos, but when it arrived I found it had so much more, it includes advice, tips, the ups, downs and frustrations of his year, and humour to go with it, like the description of his trip to India to photograph Tigers it was so well done you could picture it so vividly.

So many photography books bore you with just the technical aspects however this one won't.

It's a great book and the photos are stunning, buy one and see for yourself. I was so impressed I just booked myself on one of his courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Stunning, 15 Oct 2002
For those familiar with the name of Andy Rouse, this book will come as no suprise. Andy is simply one of the very best wildlife photographers the world has seen, this book details the highs and lows of a year in his life. Of course it is filled with outstanding pictures that no-one else seems able to take (or are not willing to go to the dangerous lengths to take!), but what really makes this photographic book is the words.

If you have seen Andy's tv programme you will be familiar with his very open enthusiasm and drive, this is clearly a man who is living his dream. To a budding photographer like myself there are plenty of tips to be noted and lessons to be learnt, but dont think this is only of interest to photographers. The book is nicely split between the images, the anecdotal stories and the technical know how. If you are a wildlife fan then you can simply ignore the technical boxes and still have a book that is worth every penny.

If you buy this book the only reason for dissapointment will be the fact it will soon become dog eared with your constant reading of it!!

A fine job Mr Rouse!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 19 Oct 2004
By A Customer
Again, Andy delivers the goods; and superbly too. This guy really knows his subject and his photographs are outstanding. The amount of preparation required to achieve the results that Andy gets is clearly brought out in this book. Days spent just watching, waiting and preparing for perhaps just a few shots certainly pay off. The temptation to shoot away at the first opportunity is resisted until everything is just right.

The book takes you through a year in the life of a wildlife photographer; each month in a different country photographing a different animal. My favourite is the Dolphins in the Caribbean; being a keen diver and underwater photographer this chapter really inspires me.

Just makes me want to give up the 9 to 5 rat race and pick up my camera. A superb book and one that you will want to read over and over again. Buy it!
