Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This large-format softcover is a visual celebration of the magnificent and divers wild places found in the 188,000 hectare Greater Addo National Park, stretching from the semi-arid Karoo in the north, over the rugged Zuurberg Mountains, through the Sundays river valley and south to the coast. The biodiversity is exceptional in that 6 of the 7 terrestrial biomes found in South Africa occur here, within striking distance of Cape Town and Durban. However, it is as home to the densest elephant population on earth that the park is best known, and this stunning book offers a stunning insight into the lives of these magnificent animals, as well as into the unique skills of the Van den Bergs.

Whether you are a beginner or a pro, this book is for you. With the "Phototips" series of books, the Van den Bergs reveal their secrets - secrets that have kept them at the forefront of nature photography for many years and that have enabled them to create the compelling images for more than 20 magnificent coffee table titles. Instead of producing an in-depth encyclopedia for nature photographers, the Van den Bergs have opted to keep "Phototips" simple and to the point. By showing an image, and then revealing a tip for both beginners and pros based on that image, they have produced a unique series of books. In addition to the tips, the Van den Bergs teach you how to take images similar to those in the book - how to think when capturing the image and what camera settings to use.

PhotoTips: Principles of Nature Photography

Land of Contrast is a visual delight of amazing photography with brief but highly informative text. It depicts the renowned diversity of the eight different landscape types (or biomes) of the southern African sub-continent. Each of these biomes is the result of its geology and climate, which in turn determine the soil and vegetation types and ultimately the fauna. Life on land is determined by the availability of fresh water, and therefore water, rivers and wetlands form an intrinsic part of each biome. The various biomes are Fynbos, Succulent Karoo, Nama Karoo, Desert, Grassland, Savanna, Thicket and Forest. The major landscape is the Savanna Biome and the most unique the Fynbos Biome. Each section begins with a short summary of the main factors that determine the characteristics of the biome. Then follows a list of places to visit where the specific biome is evident. The images are not cluttered with captions, which appear instead on the last page of a chapter where the images are repeated in thumbnail size together with relevant information about each one.
