A pioneer of high-speed photography, Stephen Dalton is one of the world's greatest nature photographers. By freezing motion with his camera, he has unlocked the mysteries of movement and has had a stunning impact on the way we see nature. This book celebrates his work by presenting more than 140 full colour portraits of the birds, insects, mammals and English countryside that Dalton celebrates as an artist, as a scientist and as a lover of wildlife. The book unfolds chronologically to document the photographer's evolving technical & creative talents over three decades, as he freezes in time the blink-of-any-eye movements that usually go unseen, from the basilisk's logic-defying dash across water to the delicate acrobatics of the damselfly. Dalton's text has a personal touch as he describes the challenges that face the photographer in the field: Early days; Breaking the high speed barrier; Woodland and waterside; On our doorstep
