A very well presented book on one of the most important yet often neglected aspects of WildLife photography. Suitable for all levels of photographic skills!
Love the book, really enjoyed the terminologies at the back to help me understand technical terms that I am not yet familiar with.
The explanations and photos really spiked my creativity and inspiration to go out and take photos!
