About the book >.>.> Birds in Camera by Walter Higham is a reflective exploration of bird photography, encapsulating the author?s experiences over the past twenty-five years. The text is organised into three distinct groups: birds photographed within a twenty-mile radius of Blackburn, birds encountered during visits to various coastal regions, and images captured during numerous excursions to the Norfolk Broads. While the arrangement is not scientific, the author has grouped together birds that have nested closely, providing a unique perspective on local avian life.Higham describes himself as a naturalist photographer who specialises in wild birds, offering insight into the dualities of bird photography. He distinguishes between two primary approaches: the bird student who captures images to record observations, and the artist-photographer who seeks to create visual expressions. This analysis acknowledges that while bird student photographers often possess more extensive ornithological knowledge, it is the artistic photographers who may achieve superior results in their images. The author emphasises the significance of fieldwork, noting that true field workers prefer to locate subjects personally and document their findings within a ?hide.? In contrast, many photographers, balancing this pursuit with other commitments, often rely on others to identify suitable subjects, allowing them to concentrate their efforts on the intricate process of photography. Higham clarifies that this book is not intended as a scientific treatise; rather, it serves as a personal reflection on his journey and the captivating world of birds through the lens of his camera.…
