Gallery: Bill Coster: Master bird photographer
I WOULD like to point out right away that the best bird photograph I鈥檝e ever taken was of a gull eating fries at McDonald鈥檚, and even that had part of my finger in it. It鈥檚 from this novice perspective, , that I鈥檇 like to suggest that all working and wannabe bird photographers will benefit from 鈥荣 Creative Bird Photography. The stunning, colourful close-up of a king penguin鈥檚 neck on the cover tells us immediately that his pictures won鈥檛 be like our fathers鈥� bird photos. And while the photos are enough to make us get off the couch and run outside with our camera, it鈥檚 the text that makes this such a valuable book. The discussion of equipment is honest and candid, while Coster鈥檚 unpretentious style takes the reader on an enjoyable adventure, as he offers a wealth of helpful photography tips, like keep your fingers 鈥渂ehind鈥� the lens. Now he tells me.
