Nature motifs for every month of the year!
- Find seasonal animal and plant species with a themed calendar
- Instructions for taking fascinating photos in dramatic weather and at night
- Get to know nature reserves with their diversity of species and forms
When and where can I find which motifs, and how do I find them? These are the questions that enthusiastic nature photographers ask themselves all year round.
Some seasons offer so many possibilities that you hardly know where to point your camera. At other times of the year, the choice of subjects is more limited. This motif calendar, divided into months, shows you which plant and animal species, landscapes and weather phenomena are best photographed at which times of the year. It is another volume in the successful practical guide series for nature photographers.
In addition, each chapter offers an in-depth topic to help you develop as a photographer and learn to take more conscious photographs: the authors show you how to create a detailed annual plan, prepare your photography projects carefully and act responsibly and ethically in all your photographic endeavours.
