Bird Photographer of the Year: Collection 4

by Bird Photographer of the Year

Foreword by Chris Packham This beautiful book accompanies a new photographic competition celebrating some of the best bird photography of the year. The Bird Photographer of the Year competition celebrates the artistry of bird photography, and this large-format book is lavishly illustrated to reflect this. A celebration of avian beauty and diversity, it is a tribute to both the dedication and passion of the photographers as well as a reflection of the quality of today’s modern digital imaging systems. The book includes the winning and short-listed images from the competition, now in its fourth year, showcasing some of the finest bird photography, with a foreword by BTO President and head judge, Chris Packham. A proportion of the profits from the book goes directly to the BTO to support their conservation work. The advent of digital technology has revolutionised photography in recent years, and the book brings to life some of the most stunning bird photography currently on offer. It features a vast variety of photographs by hardened pros, keen amateurs and hobbyists alike, reflecting the huge diversity of bird enthusiasts and nature lovers which is so important in ensuring their conservation and survival.

This photography book showcases entries to Bird photographer of the year in multiple categories. The birds are from all over the world in all different environments. A lovely coffee-table book.
The only thing I think would make it better if it was arranged with 1st 2nd and 3rd place in each category at the front of the book (eg 1st, 2nd, 3rd for portrait category, 1st, 2nd, 3rd for behaviour category, 1st, 2nd, 3rd for detail category, etc, etc) and then all the honour winner also arranged by category after that.

Truly outstanding odyssey of bird photography: my jaw drops and my eyes widen (as Noah Strycker likes to say).
