For those who do not know much about the original “The Art of Bird Photography,” it was first published in hard cover in 1998 and quickly became the classic how-to book on the subject.  That printing was followed by two soft cover printings.  With 30,000 copies sold in less than a decade it was a big surprise when Amphoto dropped the title. The very great strength of the book is the chapter on Exposure which offers complete coverage of exposure theory and its practical application.   I have received countless e-mails and letters over the years reading something like this:  “I have been photographing for more than a decade, have attended many seminars, and read every book out there but not until I read and studied the chapter on exposure in ABP did I really understand both the basics and the complexities.  Now I can not only come up with the right exposure in almost every situation but I understand what I am doing and why.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”  In addition, all of the basics are covered in detail in ABP:  composition and image design, how to choose lenses, camera bodies, & film, how to see and utilize natural light, how to make sharp images, how to get close to free and wild birds, how to use flash as both main light and as fill, and how to edit and market your work. 

 

There is no digital content in the original “The Art of Bird Photography.”  Important note:  with the exception of these two sections:  “Exposure Simplified” and “Flash Simplified,” the content of “The Art of Bird Photography II (916 pages on CD only: http://www.birdsasart.com/ABPII.htm) is all-new.

Light on the Earth (Book)

 

 
 
Some time ago I received an e-mail informing me that one of my images, "Fire in the Mist," had been chosen for inclusion in the book, "Light on the Earth," a compilation of twenty years of the best winning and commended images in the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.  I was thrilled of course, but a bit disappointed that only one of my five commended images had been chosen. As I read on, I was quite a bit more thrilled when I learned that "Fire in the Mist" would not only appear in the book but would be used as cover art, gracing the partial wrap-around dust jacket.  The book, which features 170 images, is--at 224 pages and just under five pounds--a large one by any standards.  The images are of course for the most part breath-taking (though I would disagree with a few of the choices...)  In addition to the images, there are essays by some of the world's premier photographic artists including one of my idols, Jim Brandenburg. 
 
We have a limited number of signed copies available:  $55 plus $9 shipping.  The book will be signed on page 35 where "Fire in the Mist" appears.  If you would like me to personalize the book, please let us know when you order and I shall do so on the title plate.  If you request a personalized copy and I am on the road, your order will be shipped when I return home.  To purchase a copy now please send a check for $64 made out to "Arthur Morris" to us at BAA, PO BOX 7245, Indian Lake Estates, FL  33855.  Paypals and phone-in credit card orders are also welcome.


TODD’S GREAT NEW SAFARI BOOK! 

 

 

Congratulations to my dear friend Todd Gustafson on the publication of his first book, “A Photographer’s Guide to The Safari Experience.”  Most of you are familiar with Todd’s amazingly creative work as much of it has appeared in various BBA Bulletins.  This 6 ¼ by 9 ¼ inch 278 page hard cover book is—as you would expect—packed with great images, but it is the informational text that will prove to be most valuable to each and every photographer visiting the Dark Continent.  And that includes folks who have been on numerous photographic safaris.  I can personally assure you that this book is easily readable as I spent approximately 75 hours editing the text.  <smile>

 

Here is a blurb that I wrote for the book: “Todd’s knowledge of the game parks and animals of East Africa is vast, and in his new book, he shares with you not only that knowledge but the photographic techniques that he has developed and used over the past decade.  Whether you are just dreaming of a trip to Kenya or Tanzania of have been there many times, this book will prove to be both an extremely useful and educational resource as well as a huge inspiration.  Simply put, the number and the quality of photographic tips offered in this book is incredible.

 

We accepted delivery of 500 copies of “A Photographer’s Guide to The Safari Experience” this past week and are proud to be the first to have it available for sale.  Your copy is available for $29.95 plus $5 shipping and handling via US Mail book rate to all US addresses, plus $10 to Canada, or plus $18 to all overseas addresses.  Paypal, check, or credit card payment by phone (863-692-0906) are all fine.    Florida residents please add tax on the book only bringing the total to $37.05. 

 

I will be here Sunday afternoon watching NFL games while doing BPN critiques <smile>


Some months ago Andy Rouse sent me a copy of his twelfth and latest book, "Concepts of Nature; A Wildlife Photographer's Art."  I was blown away, not only by Andy's incredible images but by the text and the various principles that he covered.    This is not your everyday photography book.

I have long pitched the idea that in order to improve folks need to look at as many great natural history images as possible, and in Concepts of Nature Andy has made that easy to do.  I was so taken with the words and the pictures that we ordered fifty copies of Concepts of Nature so that the serious photographers on this side of the pond could take advantage of Andy's brilliance. 

You can order a copy of Concepts of Nature today for $37.95 plus $5 shipping to US addresses, $10 to Canada, and $15 overseas.  Checks made out to "Arthur Morris," Paypals, or credit card phone orders (863-692-0906) are all A-OK.
