Florida Nature Photography

With thousands of miles of shoreline along oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps and more than 3000 kinds of wildflowers and 400 species of native and migratory birds, Florida offers unparallelled opportunities to record nature and wildlife. Veteran photographer William J. Weber leads both the amateur and the professional photographer to places where these opportunities still exist, where herons roost at nightfall and Key deer browse on roadside vegetation. Using 178 of his favourite photographs, he guides the reader to pristine areas of the state that offer sanctuary to birds and animals and to public gardens, zoological parks and state campgrounds.;For every picture opportunity, Weber discusses ways to approach photography in the area, describing in detail the best possible equipment, film and techniques for each situation. Advising patience and practice, he encourages the photographer to learn, to look and to respect the state's diverse beauty.
