Rainforest

Hi its been a while since my last post sorry about that its been a busy period but I am back now.

Over the holiday period I was given a great book called Rain forest by Thoma Marent. This contains loads of great pictures of rain forests and the Eco system within. The photographs and colors are spectacular with easy to read commentary telling you about the photograph its self and the story behind it.

The book is backed by the rain forest foundation and below is a quote from the founding patron Sting.

"This collection of Thomas Marent's images, 16 years in the making, brings alive the sheer and awe-inspiring beauty of the rain forest." Sting - founding patron, The Rain forest Foundation

The ISBN number is 140531530X and can be found on amazon and many good book shops and some bad ones too.

Earth from Above

I was recently brought a great book called the Earth from Above by the photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/v2/yab_us.htm. You may have seen some of his work but not known it was by him. I am sure that it has been on display in many public areas including outside the Natural History Museum in London, England. The book shows off his work of the world taken from a helicopter. He manages to capture many places that many of us would not be able to reach and in doing so creates a feeling of insignificance compared to the world.

The book is divided into areas of the world and each photograph has its own small synopsis of where it was taken and how the final image was taken. Its available in pretty much all bookshops I would imagine, and would make a great present to anyone that is interested in the world, photography or both.
