Getting Closer : Rediscovering Nature Through Bird Photography Hardback
by Paul Sorrell
Hardback
Description
Getting Closer is a beautifully illustrated discussion of photography as a way of achieving greater intimacy with the natural world. With a focus on birds, the book is directed primarily at photographers (of all levels of skill and experience), but also at birders, people interested in the outdoors, and those who would simply like to achieve a deeper connection with the natural world.
The introduction makes the case for reconnecting with nature in a way that will draw in a wide range of readers, not just photographers.
We have to reconnect, as most of us have lost the spontaneous bond with nature we enjoyed as young children and, in the face of impending ecological disaster, reconnecting with nature is our most urgent task. The author offers a simple, practical path for readers to begin to 'rewild' themselves.
This is the focus of the second part of the book, where the author explores ways of becoming attentive to the natural world around you, wherever you may live.
Through self-contained spreads on topics ranging from 'the four seasons' and 'winds and tides' to 'flight shots' and 'colour and texture', he introduces basic, hands-on techniques that, with practice, will enable readers to both deeply connect with their environment and become proficient wildlife photographers. 'Top tips' on each spread provide technical information aimed at more serious photographers.
