Bauer E. Hunting With a Camera: A World Guide to Wildlife Photography

Winchester Press, 1974. — 360 p.In this era of endangered species and ecological concern, one kind of big-game hunting has gained enormous popularity with hunters and non-hunters alike — the kind of hunting that substitutes cameras for firearms and recognizes the onec-in-a-Iifetime photograph as the finest trophy of all.Few living men can equal Erwin Bauer's command of the varied and demanding skills the camera safari requires. And none, perhaps, has ever recorded so many dazzling pictures of so wide a variety of game in so many corners of the world.Hunting with a Camera is illustrated with Bauer's incomparable photographs, both color and black-and-white, but it is far more than a picture book. Its intent is to help you take good wildlife photographs on your own, not just to impress you with Bauer's accomplishments. The book is divided into three parts: a straightforward explanation of what photographic expeditions involve — equipment, stalking techniques, subtleties of outdoor photography; a region-by-rcgion discussion of the photographic opportunities in North America; and a similar discussion of opportunities abroad — Africa, the Indian Ocean, Antarctica, and elsewhere.
