The dawn light splashes across the scene, bathing the landscape in liquid gold. It’s a view that lasts just seconds before the gap in the clouds closes, a scene that may never be repeated. A photographer’s mission is to capture these moments, and this book is all about that mission. The skills a photographer needs are above all a photographic vision, an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, and a solid core of sound practical expertise, both in the field and behind the camera.               Practical Photography Magazine - Spring 2008 :           "David Noton is Practical Photography's longest running columnist and, in our humble opinion, one of the best landscapers in the world. Waiting for the Light is the final part of his celebratory trilogy - first came the DVD (see Stuff of the Month), then the exhibition, and now here's the book. If you're a fan of his columns, you'll absolutely love this collection of the Dorset-based photographer's best work from around the world. Noton's inimitably dry wit shines through is his photo essays, captions and diary entries, and whether you're a landscaper or a travel photographer at heart, David's work is never less than exemplary. Highly recommended. Rating 5 Star."               Waiting for the Light examines the elements of a photographer’s vision and the challenges of working in different environments, from deserts to rainforests, cities to mountaintops. Developing a photographer’s vision is a journey that never ends; one that changes how you view the world. This book embarks the reader on that voyage with images from all corners of the globe, supported by practical observations, stories from behind the lens and anecdotes from a lifetime of photographic travels.             Dawn reflections of Mount Rundle on Vermillion Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.           The following three images are sample spreads from the book - if you want to have a closer look just click on an image to download and view a pdf version which you can zoom into.           sample from 'Waiting for the Light' - click over the image to download a pdf version of this image           sample from 'Waiting for the Light' - click over the image to download a pdf version of this image           sample from 'Waiting for the Light' - click over the image to download a pdf version of this image           Waiting for the Light is Published by David & Charles, March 2008.
