Winter in the Canadian Rockies is the latest Craft & Vision eBook. It’s written by Canadian fine art and landscape photographer Darwin Wiggett. You may well have seen some of Darwin’s work already – he was the winner of the Travel Photographer of the Year competition a couple of years ago and his photos have been published in numerous photography magazines (including EOS magazine).

As a Craft & Vision author I look forward to new eBooks as much as anybody else. I like discovering the work and words of new (to me) photographers. Light and Land – the latest release – was a real surprise. I’d never heard of author Michael Frye before, but I was so impressed by what I read in Light and Land that I borrowed his book Digital Landscape Photography from my local library. I’m part way through reading it now and it’s one of the best photography books I’ve read.

I took this photo at Bethell’s Beach on the west coast of New Zealand near Auckland. After you leave the city the road winds up through the rainforest of the Waitakere Ranges and down to the wild beaches on the other side. The wind blows in off the Tasman Sea and huge waves pound against cliffs and rocks.
Bethell’s Beach is on the west coast so it’s ideally placed for sunset photos. There’s also a hut for lifeguards. I haven’t seen any lifeguards yet (maybe they are just there for the summer season?) but the ramshackle wooden building has pictorial potential.

The Magic of Black and White is a Flickr group for anyone that likes black and white photography. I created it when my first eBook was launched on Craft & Vision. It has grown to over 220 members who have posted more than 2300 photos. I am very impressed by the photos in the group pool – so I thought that I would present fifty of my favourite images from the group here on my blog.

What do you do if you find yourself in a place with spectacular scenery, yet the weather is awful? One of the first things we learn as photographers is about light – and that you need good light to take great photos, especially landscapes.
My photography eBooks – available now along with the work of authors such as Piet Van den Eynde, David duChemin, Darwin Wiggett and Michael Frye at Craft & Vision
