Books That Help You Be A Better Traveler
How I Make Photographs, by the famed conservationist and photographer David Yarrow, features 20 lessons on capturing wildlife on film.
Learn about composition, perspective, using remotes, and pushing boundaries (safely). Yarrow shares examples of his own work to illustrate his lessons, including a leaping lion and the face of an inquisitive polar bear that appears so dangerously close that the viewer doesn’t know whether to cringe or reach out to touch the subject. (Laurence King) Ultimate Road Trips: USA & Canada by Andrew Collins provides all the info you need to plan and enjoy an epic cross-country road trip.
It’s filled with detailed itineraries including California’s Highway 1 and dozens of others from coastal New England and the Rockies to Hawaii and Alaska.
Ultimate Road Trips is a roadmap on what to do outside your car as well, with advice on when to visit, where to stay and eat, and what to do like nature hikes and museum visits.
