Light spotting throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In the pages that follow are photographs of birds,\" writes J. Fenwick Lansdowne, in his Foreword. \"Pictures of exquisite sensitivity that capture their subjects with wonderful immediacy. They are among the finest of their kinds and the images -- a dipper with a wriggling, neatly held water insect or a hummingbird back-pedaling from a nectar-dropping columbine blossom -- remain in the mind's eye long after the book is closed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapturing birds on film is indeed an art, but it is also an exacting craft, and this book amply demonstrates both points. Ninety-four full-page color plates form the main body of the work, and these express the photographers' art to the fullest. But the extraordinary clarity and precise detail of these images could only be achieved through a thorough-going knowledge of their photographic equipment, and experience gleaned from years of photographing birds -- information which is passed on to the reader in sections detailing the equipment, techniques, and experiences in the field of Isidor Jeklin and Donald E. Waite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is one of the most beautiful collections of photographic portraits of North American birds yet produced.\" -Roger Tory Peterson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galahad Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53364834468147,"sku":"LH7065U","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/4515\/6659\/files\/art-of-photographing-birds-north-america.jpg?v=1779127291","url":"https:\/\/buteobooks.com\/products\/art-of-photographing-north-american-birds","provider":"Buteo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
