Take Great Photos with Your Digicam

Pages : 72
Book Description
With the advancement of digital camera technology, we can now buy a digital camera at a reasonably low price, take photos at little or no cost, and share them quickly with others. These cameras are easy to use, so you don’t really have to learn much to use them. However, you will sometimes see that some of the photos did not come out as well as you liked them to. You will also see that some others take better photos than you do, with cameras that are similar to yours. In this book, I tried to describe some simple guidelines that help you to take better photos, without expensive equipment or a deep technical knowledge. I learned most of these guidelines the hard way; by making a lot of mistakes, looking back at my photos, observing how other people take photos, and experimenting. I tried to write them in a style that is easy to read, using examples wherever possible. I hope this book will help you to learn what I know in much less time than I took, and in future take much better photos than I do.

Book Description
Discover nature’s most colourful creatures in a major new book on colour in the animal kingdom. For many animals use of colour is essential to surviving in the wild. Both a built-in defence mechanism and a cunning tactic for attack, this biological advantage helps animals hide from dangerous predators and catch unsuspecting prey. It is used in many different ways, primarily to mask one’s identity, movement or location, and changes over time as animals evolve and adapt to live. This stunning photographic collection reveals 100 creatures from around the world paired with fascinating insights from leading UK zoology author Steve Parker. Each animal will have a profile of 300 words paired with striking photographic examples featuring a wealth of colour and ingenious uses of colour for display or disguise. Learn how: The octopus can change its opacity, colour and pattern in response to threats. The walking leaf insect has evolved a strikingly similar shape and colour to the leaves it eats. The arctic fox changes its fur colour to white in the winter, perfectly blending in with the snow – but climate change is disrupting this age-old adaptation. This study of some of the most innovative uses of colour by animals, packed with beautiful photography and fascinating insights, will delight all lovers of the natural world.

The Bushmen
Author: Jirō TanakaPublisher: Apollo Books
ISBN: 9781920901660
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The Bushmen archives nearly 50 years of research with some of Southern Africa's remotest groups. Author Jiro Tanaka's deep connection with his subject matter is evident through his insightful and often touching stories and reflections on a rich and challenging life work. Tanaka interweaves ethnographic materials with broader reflections on the changes that have beset Bushman groups carried by waves of global political and economic developments. While some of the characteristics of the process of transformation are specific to Bushman society, many others are shared by other indigenous and minority societies around the world. The book analyzes the transformation process from this perspective and at the same time serves as a catalyst for readers to look back and question the state of our own civilization. ** "This book chronicles the ecology, society, and lifeways of the Bushmen before settlement, and their mixed fate afterward. Tanaka's efforts continue through the many students now working there. This book is a rather breathless overview of the 50-year adventure. It is a wonderful read... Recommended." - Choice, Vol. 52, No. 3, November 2014 [Subject: Ethnography, Anthropology, African Studies, Indigenous Studies]Ã?Â?Ã?Â?
