Black & White Phototips lets you learn the fine art of black and white nature photography from the masters. It is the fourth in the Phototips series, aimed at photographers who want to hone their skills to produce breathtaking images without having to wade through a mass of technical detail and jargon. Heinrich van den Berg takes you with him into the wild to photograph nature from a fresh perspective. The book begins with an introduction to monochrome photography, followed by a chapter-by-chapter introduction to the nine principal areas of expertise to master.

This book is fi lled with information on the environment, the fl ora & fauna and the practical necessities for staying on and travelling through the National Park. It is also packed with interesting facts about the history and development of the reserve, its geology and ecology. For example, did you know that Pilanesberg is the only nature reserve set in an alkaline ring complex (of which there are only three in the world). An ancient alkaline volcano erupted 1,200 million years ago to form the very hills that form the game reserve as it is today.

The Nature series consists of four books: Art of Nature, Shades of Nature, Reflection and now Moods of Nature. This book has evolved many times since its conception, as Heinrich's moods changed. It started full of colour, but in the end the only colour that remained was the mood colour of nature - the colour of sunsets. The book was printed using two diverse printing processes: Sepiana for black and white and Chroma Centric for the colour images. The Sepiana process uses four grey and black inks to print, and Chroma Centric employs a special. technique to enlarge the gamut of the colour it can print.

He knows every bend and cranny along the tracks, where to look and what animals to expect and when. Disclosing the special wonders of this world whilst escorting guests is not only his livelihood, but his passion.
