As some one who takes a special pleasure in beautiful landscapes I was particularly interested in taking a look at the Landscape Photogrpaher of the Year: Collection 1.

Charlie Waite who dreamt up the Landscape Photographer of the Year Award says in the intro of this book “The beauty and variety of the British landscape holds a unique place in the hearts of many and it has been enormously gratifying for me to see how this variety has been so comprehensively embraced.”

The principal influences in the book are the Highlands, Lake District, and various bits of coastal geography. It also includes images of the London Eye reflected in a puddle and a vandalised bus shelter of all things…

One of the most interesting chapters is “Living the View” which includes landscapes that are populated by surfers, rowers, jugglers and mountain bikers amongst others. This is the first volume with others to follow - I for one will be waiting with baited breath for the next volume.
