A stunning glimpse of some of Britain's finest coastline, from the granite columns of the Giant's Causeway on the Northern Irish coast and the rocky cliffs of Wales and South West England to the great open horizons of the East Anglian shore.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience, one of Britain’s most distinguished landscape photographers presents a collection of thought-provoking essays accompanied by a selection of stunning imagery. Containing a diverse array of picturesque landscapes ranging from North Yorkshire, the rocky canyons of the Colorado Plateau, the rugged Cornish coast, and the stunning rainforests of New Zealand’s Fjordland, this incredible visual collage reflects the philosophical intent behind each spectacular image. Revealing the technical considerations for each image - including light, weather, timing, composition, what dictated the choice of viewpoint, and selection of film and filters - this analytical yet deeply personal account is replete with practical advice for photographers of all skill levels, and a remarkable visual journey to some of the most beautiful locations in the world.
Over a hundred years ago, the National Trust was founded to preserve places of historic interest or natural beauty in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Today it protects more than 600,000 acres of land. The variety is unparalleled-from the fells and lakes of Cumbria to the wilderness wetlands of Wicken Fen in East Anglia. This collection of photographs reveals not only the natural beauty, but how the human hand has shaped the landscape over the centuries.
