About the Book
My trip to the Iguazú Falls was brief, but packed, with two full-days of escorted touring sandwiched between two half-days where I could, more or less, please myself. Obviously, with such a short visit and tightly planned itinerary, I could only photograph whatever happened to present itself in front of my lens - which unfortunately excluded some of the more spectacular avian inhabitants. Nevertheless there was enough scenery and wildlife around that I took well over 1,100 photos during my stay.
Around 280 of my favourite Iguazú pictures are reproduced in this book. They range from the grand scale of panoramic landscape vistas, through individual cascades - many of which are large waterfalls in their own right - down to a selection of the many birds and animals, plants and flowers, butterflies other insects that abound in the area. I hope that I have done them all, large and small, justice in my photographs.
About the Creator
I have been an enthusiastic amateur photographer since my school days, and a keen club photographer for many of those years. I have spent most of my adult life working in Southampton and now in retirement in Gosport, both on the south coast of England. I have taken photographs of many subjects over the years, but I have always been interested in photographing in close-up the small things in nature that we usually only glance at in passing. if we see them at all. More recently I have become a keen bird photographer, which will be the subject of my next book. In 1988 I gained a Licentiateship in the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS) in the Nature Prints category. I progressed to the Associate level (ARPS) in 1994 with a panel of Pictorial slides. Finally, in 2000, I gained a Distinction in the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (DPAGB) with a panel of my prints.
