In the introductory technical chapter, the author first compiles a sensible photography equipment list for the ambitious nature photographer. General sections on bird photography and mammal photography thoroughly explain the specific approaches such as sit-and-wait, hide, and stalking photography. Special photographic techniques like short exposure and macro photography are also covered. Various travel destinations in Germany and European natural landscapes are used to introduce individual animal species with biological backgrounds, illustrating the journey from planning to the final shot. The photographic projects discussed include, for example, the red deer rut in the Thuringian Forest, photographing waterfowl from a kayak in Havelland, brown bears in Karelia, or breeding birds in Iceland. Additional nature photography projects take the reader to Spain, Italy, and Eastern Europe.
