This book provides insider secrets including: <ul>
<li>How to create an effective time-lapse workflow and ‘see’ in a time-lapse sequence</li> <li>Tips and tricks to successful photographic elements such as shutter speed, aperture, exposure, ISO, dynamic range imaging, and more</li> <li>Step-by-step instructions for using the leading photographic processing hardware and software</li> <li>Best practices for overcoming challenges including time-lapse flicker, light conditions, and color temperatures</li>

Animals on the Edge combines extraordinary imagery and authoritative information with an impassioned message on endangered mammal species. Chris Weston and Art Wolfe are among the finest wildlife photographers at work today as well as being passionate advocates of wildlife conservation. This book features their stunning photographs of some sixty rare and endangered mammals across six continents, from the High Arctic to rain forest, steppe, and desert. The chapters are organized by region, and the photo captions detail each animal’s habits, habitat, and conservation status. In his concise, compelling reports, Weston goes behind simplistic headlines of good versus evil, of innocent creatures assailed by greedy, selfish humans. Instead he investigates all sides of the story, talking to villagers, officials, scientists, poachers, hunters, and conservation workers. What becomes powerfully clear is the need for solutions that work for people as well as animals. The reasons that animals are endangered are many―from habitat destruction and illegal hunting to global warming―but there is one common factor: the conflict between animals and people sharing the same piece of land is intensifying. 179 color illustrations

Published in 2002-2003, Grant Morrison and Chris Weston's THE FILTH is disgusting, deeply disturbing, and a comic-book masterpiece that inoculates readers against the problems of the postmodern condition. So says Tom Shapira, who also explores THE FILTH's relationship to Morrison's THE INVISIBLES, to the 1999 film THE MATRIX, and to the work of Alan Moore. The book also includes interviews with Grant Morrison, Chris Weston, and inker Gary Erskine, plus art from Weston illuminating the design of the series and containing imagery censored in the printed comic.
