For people who like British landscape photography I'd like to recommend the stunning "Journey Through The British Isles" by Harry Cory Wright. His website is here: http://www.harrycorywright.com. It's a large format book, beautifully printed, and is exactly what it says on the cover. Classic work in my opinion from a real master. He mostly shoots on a 10x8 Gandolfi.
A book I saw today for the first time and which really took me by surprise is Vanishing World, by Ray Mears of all people. It doesn't look like a photo book, but it seems he used to take photos for a British magazine which was trying to be Nat Geo a number of years ago. The pictures themselves are very competent without being great (although some of them are superb), but his subject matter is wonderful - remote, hunter-gatherer people he's spent time with over the years while making his TV programmes. Well worth a look, and I will probably buy it at some point over the next few weeks. Our Ray uses a Leica M of some sort. http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/660-Ray-Mears-Vanishing-Worl d Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
