I just published my first book! The title is “How I Photograph the Pennsylvania Elk.”
The book shares my approach to photographing the elk of Pennsylvania and includes tips on locating the elk, techniques on how get quality photos of the elk, as well as some tips on what to wear when photographing the elk. There is a brief history of the PA elk, too. I’ve been hiking the elk range in Pennsylvania for over twenty years now and I enjoy each and every outing. There is no place like the mountains and my book shares how I locate the elk and photograph them.
I got the idea of self-publishing a book from photographer, Dave Black. I listened to a podcast where he was interviewed and he talked about how he used Blurb to self-publish his book, “The Way I See It.” You can find out more about this by going to Dave Black’s article here.
In addition to sharing some practical tips and suggestions, I also share some personal stories from my experiences photographing the elk.
You can view a description of the book and see a preview of seven pages in the book here.
Good luck with the book. I am lloking forward to Elk country but not the heavy traffic on the weekend. I did change my plans and am going up a day later after finding out Penn State has a home game on Saturday, I have no intention in driving in that traffic, just not owrth the agrivation.
I know what you mean, Brad. Last weekend Penn State had another home game and traffic on Friday night was not fun. I will be arriving sometime Monday morning and I can’t wait either! I just hope it starts to cool down some. I am hoping the rut is in its prime this coming week!
