In the past, landscape photography largely ended when the last light of dusk faded from the sky. Today it's only beginning. The latest digital cameras have made it easy to create images of the landscape at night that film and early digital photographers could only dream of. Equipped with off-the-shelf cameras, more and more photographers are venturing into the night, far beyond the comforting glow of city lights, and returning with spectacular images of places both familiar and unknown that are unlike anything seen before. Dusk to Dawn: A Guide to Landscape Photography at Night is your guide to this new photographic world. In it, photographer Glenn Randall-author of the bestselling The Art, Science, and Craft of Great Landscape Photography-teaches you how to plan, shoot, and process professional-quality images of the Milky Way, the aurora, lunar eclipses, meteor showers, star trails, and landscapes lit solely by moonlight. Throughout the book, Randall emphasizes ways to integrate beautiful depictions of the night sky with equally compelling renditions of the land below to create complete landscape images that evoke a sense of place-and a sense of wonder. Equipped with the knowledge in this book, readers will be prepared to create their own nocturnal masterpieces.

The Revolta de les Germanies was a popular revolt that took place in Mallorca in the early sixteenth century and became a revolution that pitted artisans, workers and peasants against the highest echelons of feudal society, mainly because of the corruption, exploitation and unfair taxation that existed at the time. There are surprising similarities between sixteenth-century Mallorca and current situations and realities, which piqued my interest in the subject and has given me the opportunity to present and explain the places where the events occurred and which today have very different meanings.

Perhaps overshadowed by more 'exotic' locos, the Class 31s nonetheless played a significant part in British Railways' Modernisation Plan. Intended for use on more lightly loaded and shorter-distance trains on routes away from the main lines, the 263 original Brush Type 2 locomotives were new between 1957 and 1962 and entered service on the Eastern Region. They could soon be found all across the country. Not long into their careers, they were renumbered into Class 31 under the TOPS system and, over time, four subclasses were developed. The most numerous was the steam heat boiler-fitted 31/1, examples of which were further modified with electric train heating (ETH) to produce the 31/4. Towards the end of the class's collective lifespan came two more developments, the 31/5 and 31/6. The fact that so many still survive after decades of sterling service is testament to their usefulness and versatility, and they are especially appreciated on the various heritage lines up and down the country. This volume includes more than 200 images showing these workhorses in action, mostly in the south of England.
This book covers all aspects of the popular Class 68s, including the order, construction and delivery of the fleet, and technical details. It looks at their operations on Chiltern and TransPennine Express services and their appearances on secondary passenger duties in Scotland, East Anglia and the Cumbrian Coast. This richly illustrated book contains not only photographs of the class around the UK, but also detailed diagrams and maps, full histories of the lines and details of future plans for the class.
This book showcases the railways in South Korea and Taiwan. Traveling around the respective countries, this book takes the reader on an illustrated journey through Asia.

Auch ich habe dem Hochglanzgeschäft zu viele Bilder übergeben. Es ging eine Zeit nur um Auflösung, Schattenspiel und Schärfegrad. Nie war der Zufall ein Mitgestalter. Diese meine hier versammelten Bilder sind anders. Manchmal erkennt man erst auf den zweiten Blick, dass ein Gedanke die gesamte Komposition trägt. Man kann sich nach dem Sinn selbst auf die Suche machen.Ich bin gespannt, auf Ihre Meinung und ihre Blickung. Logan Banner

Informed by a modern approach to luxury, the brand's signature designs blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine, exuding a rebellious spirit and sense of modern cool. This highly anticipated debut monograph presents Zadig & Voltaire's history through its most memorable collections, advertising campaigns, and iconic moments. Illustrated with evocative photographs captured by some of the most renowned names in fashion photography, such as Inez & Vinoodh and Olivier Zahm, readers discover the influences and inspirations behind Gillier's unique vision."-- Provided by publisher.
"During the early 1980's, Santa Barbara, California, saw an extraordinary mix of innovation, individuals and imagery, combined with a relatively rare meteorological phenomena, that led to one of the most influential periods in modern surf history. The rise of young legend-to-be and future three-time world champion Tom Curren, whose preternatural wave-riding abilities would help establish California at the forefront of contemporary surfing; the emergence of then-unknown board builder Al Merrick of Channel Island Surfboards, who would go on to becoming the sport's premier board-builder; a once-in-a-generation run of exceptional surf conditions - photographer Jimmy Metyko was there to capture it all. With a compelling blend of dramatic action, intimate moments and epic waves, Metyko's imagery and personal perspectives articulate a remarkable waypoint on the sport's cultural timeline, as well as a better understanding, and appreciation, of where surfing is today."--Amazon.com.
"The golden age of sailing and boating comes alive in this selection of photographs curated from the unparalleled archive of this great American sport.

These beautifully reproduced prints will transport the reader to the decks of daysailers, sleek America's Cup racing boats, vintage Chris-Craft runabouts, and elegant motor yachts from a bygone era. Morris Rosenfeld and his sons defined maritime photography in the first half of the twentieth century--the dynamic balance of sky and water, the perspective that emphasizes the boat, and the moment that captures its nature. Each timeless image comes to life both through its story and in beautiful reproduction on the oversized pages. This is a celebration of the traditions of the nautical lifestyle and a siren song to the American pursuit of going to sea"--Provided by publisher.
"When David Webb came to New York at the age of 17, he was captivated by the museums, architecture, and fashions of the day. By the time he opened shop in 1948, the city had become his muse. In his only published article, 'Why not hang gems?' of 1963, he wrote that jewelry deserved to be regarded as art and collected by museums. That conviction fuels The Art of David Webb. Here is jewelry shown as art in more than 120 images--all specially photographed for this book--that speak to the variety of artistic and cultural periods that inspired David Webb and the company he founded. Examples include David Webb's enameled and diamond Mondrian bracelet, an homage to Piet Mondrian's Broadway boogie woogie and Yves Saint Laurent's 1960s sheath dress with its famed color blocking; a gemstone-rich dragon brooch taken from a Scythian animal pommel; and a scored rock crystal and diamond bracelet that updates art deco classics. Throughout, work by painters, sculptors, photographers, architects, and couturiers form a visual dialogue with the sumptuous David Webb jewelry. The imaginative pairings, in-depth descriptive captions, and elegantly designed publication are resounding proof that jewelry is both art and culture"--Provided by publisher.

"From street corners to corner offices, mixtapes made a huge impact on the music industry and hip-hop culture in New York City during the late '80s, '90s, and early 2000s.

"Abandoned shopping carts are everywhere, and yet we know so little about them. Their complexity and history baffles even the most careful urban explorer. How can we understand abandoned carts without a comprehensive and well-documented taxonomy? Spanning the categories of Damaged, Fragment, Plaza Drift, Bus Stop Discard, Plow Crush, and 28 more, Julian Montague's incomparable classification and documentation of this ubiquitous feature of the urban landscape helps us see the natural and man-made worlds-and perhaps even ourselves-anew. Back in print, refreshed, and expanded, Montague's book, both rigorous and absurd, is a strangely compelling tonic no one has ever asked for but that few can do without"--
Some of Nick Brandt's subjects are humans, some are animals, but they all are creatures of equal and obvious personhood. The overwhelming sense in the photographer's ongoing global series The Day May Break is that they are all figuring out how to live in a new world. Each has arrived at the shoot at Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia through their own cascade of tragedy. Both extreme droughts and floods have destroyed people's homes and livelihoods. Victims of habitat destruction and wildlife trafficking, the animals are rescues that can never be released to the wild. People and animals were photographed in the same frame and indeed convey a sense of connectedness through a shared fate. Fog is the unifying visual, symbolic of the natural world rapidly fading from view; and an echo of the smoke from wildfires, intensified by climate change, devastating so much of the planet. But in spite of their loss, these people and animals are survivors, pioneers entering the new phase our world has reached. In The Day May Break they share their powerful stories.This set includes the volumes The Day May Break and The Day May Break - Chapter Two.NICK BRANDT (*1964, London) studied painting and film at St. Martin's School of Art, London. In 1992 he moved to California, where he still lives today. Since 2001, he has documented the destructive impact that humankind is having on the natural world and, as a result, on humans themselves. Chapter One of his seminal series The Day May Break featured photographs taken in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020. Chapter Two, shot in Bolivia in 2022, is the first time in his 20 year career that Brandt has made work outside of Africa.
