Putting a Guidebook to Practical Use

I own more than ten fotoVUE guidebooks. While I’ve read them all, I haven’t yet had the opportunity to put all of them to practical use in the real world. Titles like Photographing Scotland, Photographing Cornwall and Devon and the first fotoVUE book that I purchased, Photographing the Lake District have all had significant use. As with any guidebook, they are a great way to get your photography adventures started in an area when you might not have a lot of time to spend researching location or you simply want a head start.

When the team at fotoVUE asked if they could send me out the new second edition of Photographing The Lake District to feature in an episode of On My Bookshelf, I not only said yes, I said I would film the episode on location in the Lake District. This was a great excuse to visit the Lake District again. Not that I needed a reason to visit the Lake District. It’s a wonderful place to go for any reason.

As well as filming the episode of On My Bookshelf in the Lake District I wanted to take advantage of some of the new and expanded information in this second edition of Photographing The Lake District. The author, Stuart Holmes, has included nine, high mountain walks and being a keen walker myself I was eager to try one of them out.

So, join me in this special episode of On My Bookshelf as I talk all about Photographing The Lake District Second Edition and highlight what’s new and all while I explore and photograph one of the many great locations in this book.
