This is the first comprehensive book ever devoted to the extraordinary discipline and special techniques of wild bird photography, and it is a beauty! The book's lavish illustrations come from the camera of a consummate birder, professional photographer and writer who has more than 3500 bird photographs published in magazines. Morris shows how to select and use cameras, film, and accessories, how to find and get close to wild birds with minimal disturbance, and how to produce technically perfect artistic images.

Arthur Morris shares his techniques for shooting artistically designed, technically sharp images of birds in spectacular motion and at rest. Chapters include equipment and film choices, exposure, image sharpness, composition, and tips for photographing action and behavior. Morris, whose photographs appear regularly in major birding, natural history, and photography publications, cautions that bird photography requires patience and dedication, but shows that the rewards can be well worth the time and trouble.
