Life in Colour: National Geographic Photographs

National Geographic publishes a splendid selection of photographic books and this volume maintains the high standard.The pictures are grouped according to the over-riding colour and demonstrate how to produce truly wonderful images by combining colour and composition.Studying this volume will assist the most jaded amateur photographer to strive for greater creational output.

The photographs in this book are fabulous. I love that the book is divided into colour sections rather than subject matter. Very varied photographs and of things that i would not usually get to see myself. The book was bought for my dad who is fascinated by the beautiful detail in the picutres.

So disappointed. I bought this book as a colour study to help with my illustration, and a large percentage of the photos feature muddy or blurred colours, and are clearly low resolution image files printed larger than they should be. The print quality is frequently blurred and often looks very cheap and nasty, it totally undermines some of the amazing photography inside. Also, photos are sometimes stretched across two pages meaning the focal point of the image sometimes gets buried in the page fold. A really bizarre oversight, that.Between checking the amazing looking contents using Amazon's 'look inside' feature and this being a National Geographic book, I thought its quality was guaranteed. Not so sure I'll pick up another NG book after this.

ok

Bought as a gift for a dear friend...... She loved it.

You have to look through this book to appreciate it;it is too good just to be on a coffee table!

Spot on, great price and quality
