Book
This landmark volume presents the most memorable and beautiful pictures from six decades of the world's most prestigious wildlife photography competition. Featuring more than 230 images, with 20 from the last five years, this sumptuous edition presents many of the greatest nature photographs of all time. It charts the development of nature photography from the first hand-held cameras and the colour-film revolution of the 1960s to the increasingly sophisticated photographs of wild animals, plants and unexplored places that are taken today. Technological innovations introduced in the last decade include automatic focusing and fast burst rates, which are ideal for capturing motion, as well as aerial drone photography and macro probe lenses, which allow for photography at the largest and smallest scales. An incredible variety of styles, skills and approaches are on show, reflecting the great advances in technology and the many and varied ways of viewing and interpreting the natural world.
