New Book release

Well I did it! 2 days solid compiling pictures and text (which took months to get), I have finished rewriting last years college project. It was very expensive first time around. Plus due to a crash I lost a lot of the base data.

So what's the deal with this version?

1) Cost: the original "hardback" was way too expensive and that's a thing to note on the learning curve here, set a practical unit cost. I have got this down to £17.50 per book. I haven't offered this as an e-book yet but if there is a demand that will follow.

2) Double use as a brochure, I plan to exhibit some of the work for this book. The book shows a range of post processing styles, which can be applied to almost any of the images. By offering the book I am presenting a choice of style for final print {some shots may require reshoot if infrared is required etc}.

3) Previously unseen work. I have recently noticed a few features near to the river that I thought should be in the book. So I have been on my travels. A good chance for a bracing walk. I tried to avoid illustrating the havoc created by the recent floods. (They are for the news which is not what this book is for).

4) I managed to re-focus one one of my original aims for the project and more adherence to the film shots up stream, digital shots down stream.


So available now from Blurb. Order now (30/11/2012) for delivery by 14th December.
