With over 70 beautiful color photos, this Ireland travel photo book captures and preserves the beauty of ancient, medieval, historical, and modern Ireland in a "coffee table" style tablet eBook that is easy to carry and to view anytime and anywhere. The reader may look at this book as a coast to coast virtual tour of Ireland, time traveling from 3,000 BC ancient sites, to early history abbeys, to medieval castles, and to scenic places off the beaten path in Ireland. It is my wish that, upon viewing the variety of photos in this travel photo book, you will be inspired to travel to Ireland yourself, to see these Irish "gems" in person. Inside you will find a collection of my favorite photos, over 70 in total, taken in recent years on numerous trips to Ireland. Counties Cork, Galway, Kerry, Mayo, Meath, and Sligo are well represented in this Ireland Mosaic Photo Journey feast. The book ends with a few short Irish traditions and Celtic history stories told with some humorous twists. I hope that you enjoy viewing these special photos of Ireland. May you be blessed with an opportunity to visit Ireland to view these wonderful, mystical, magical places and apply McCarthy's 8th Rule of Travel: "Never pass a pub that has your name on it". Five percent of this book's sales' royalties support selected Irish youth programs in Ireland.

Das "lange 19. Jahrhundert" der Nationalstaatenbildung ist auch das Jahrhundert der "Erfindung" der Fotografie wie auch der Geburt der modernen Archivwissenschaften. Die Fotografie wurde bald von den Nationalstaaten in ihrem Bedürfnis nach bildlicher Visualisierung in den Dienst genommen. Nach dem II. Weltkrieg, dem Zerfall der kolonialistischen Systeme und schließlich dem Fall der Berliner Mauer erlangten nationale Fragen erneut Aktualität - nun in einem globalen Rahmen. Die Beiträge in diesem Band untersuchen den Zusammenhang zwischen Fotografie/Fotoarchiven und der Idee der Nation, wobei das Objektiv sich nicht auf einzelne Ikonen, sondern auf die weitreichende Dimension des Archivs richtet.

Focusing on fieldcraft techniques for macro and close-up photography, Thompson covers the vital but often overlooked skills necessary to achieve consistent professional results in the field. Case studies covering a broad and often challenging group of subjects from the seashore to your back garden form the core of the lavishly illustrated book. Biology, life history, subject behaviour and ethics along with best practice approaches are discussed in detail and underpinned with photographic tips. The book is divided into four sections—Digital Fundamentals, Fieldcraft & Methodology, Portfolio Case Studies, Digital Workflow & Presentation—covering the full photographic process from capture through to editing, captioning, development and storage are discussed. Moving beyond the surface-level approach to macro instruction, this book provides readers with techniques that work in the field. Illustrated with over 250 of the author's own inspiring images, this publication is a must for photographers, naturalists and anyone interested in improving their macro skills in the field.
