Couple of Books worth getting

I was out in the centre of Birmingham at lunchtime today and needed to get hold of an OS map. The main Waterstones in the City is great and I often enjoy a browse at the the books while I am there.

I spotted a couple that I though our blog readers might be interested in, and that I have now ordered for myself

Firstly, from a great photographer who does some fabulous wildlife and landscape work by the name of Guy Edwardes. The link to his book is below and well worth buying. great photography, but more importantly great tips and techniques or where when and how to do it.

Secondly, while I struggle to get to grips with the epic Martin Evening tome on CS5, I found another great guide for both CS5 and Lightroom 3 that I can recommend. Much more skinned down and very relevant to the needs of photographers.

I shall look forward to my copies coming from Amazon, and much better rates than I saw today I hasten to add

So here are the links.

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
