About Wildlife Photography in Botswana:
Steven Stockhall writes our fortnightly blog on Wildlife Photography and conservation issues. It therefore makes perfect sense for us to allow you to gain full insight into Steve's widlife and photography knowledge by stocking the book he co-authored with James Gifford. While we have not met James, we have met Steve and know that he is not only one of Botswana's leading professional guides, but he is a wizard with camera in hand. The book also contains some great quotes too. Our favourite is by Peter Adams: "A camera didn't make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel."

This guidebook covers all the essential tips and hints of wildlife photography, suitable for all levels of photographer. The book contains:
• Over 200 images of 75 different species illustrate basic technical aspects and advanced creative techniques;
• In-depth, local knowledge of wildlife destinations and when to visit;
• Outlines what equipment is needed;
• Easy to understand explanations of exposure, aperture and shutter speed;
• Advice on composition and animal behaviour;
• How to capture birds in flight, create impressive panning shots and manage tricky lighting situations;
• Specialist chapters include mammals, birds, reptiles, black and white photography, macro, and many more.
