Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Animals and the Camera As sport, it is one of the most fasci nating, and I have learned more of the habits and characteristics of wild animals with my camera than gun-shooting could ever have taught me. For years I was a constant, I might almost say daily, visitor to the Zoological Society's Gardens. Every addition to the wonderful collection I studied for days, and sometimes weeks, before capturing it successfully with my camera. Many readers will remember my Illustrated Zoo Notes, published in Animal Life, and my contributions to Living Animals of the World and the chief illustrated weeklies.

The Zoo is a complicated organization, full of personali ties and histories, and scarcely an animal or bird is there that has not its own story.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature and the Camera: How to Photograph Live Birds and Their Nests; Animals, Wild and Tame; Reptiles; Insects; Fish and Other Aquatic Forms; Flowers, Trees, and Fungi As a means of studying nature in most of its many forms, there is, perhaps, nothing better than the camera. Not only does it teach us to see much that would otherwise pass unnoticed, but it enables us to make records of what we see - records that are, as a rule, infinitely better and more useful than pencil notes; and the studying and photographing of one subject leads to another, and so we go from birds to insects, from insects to flowers, and from flowers to trees, until we have an acquaintance with things natural more intimate and far broader in its scope than would have resulted had we been content simply to try to see things and write notes on them. Nowadays, when every school has or should have its nature class, we find children scarcely out of the kindergarten who know more about our wild birds and flowers than the great majority of the grown-up people to whom nature study was an unknown thing when they were young.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wildlife Portfolio of the Western National Parks Wildlife - its study, conservation, and management - has become im portant in public consciousness of the outdoors. Making pictures of wildlife is a popular hobby. Many visitors to our national parks go to these places with photography as an objective. Here all animal life is protected, and the rifle, shotgun, and trap are unknown. Picture makers, 'on the contrary, whether young or old, expert or novice, armed with the simplest or most elaborate equipment, are welcomed to hunt. As a standard for camera enthusiasts and for the enjoyment of others who simply like to look, the National Park Service is pleased to present this portfolio of pictures. Most of them have been made by that pioneer in the field of wildlife study, Joseph S. Dixon, who has also contributed the text of interesting life-history facts and anecdotes of his experiences with wild animals. We believe that park visitors will profit from this work of Mr. Dixon and the others who have kindly allowed use of their prize photographs. This book, as well as the financial assistance that made many of the photographs possible, is due to the inspiration and generosity of the late George M. Wright, founder and first Chief of the Wildlife Division of the National Park Service (now the Section on National Park Wildlife. Fish and Wildlife Service).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Nature and a Camera: Being the Adventures and Observations of a Field Naturalist and an Animal Photographer Upon the appearance of my book - "British Bird's Nests" - illustrated with photographs taken direct from Nature by my brother, many of those who reviewed it in the press suggested that I should write an account of our adventures and observations whilst wandering up and down the British Isles in search of subjects for our camera and note-book. This I have done, and herein present the result for the inspection and perusal of everybody who cares to know anything about the wild life of our country. In preparing the book we have gleaned from many remote corners of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and the different groups of islands lying round about; and whether we have harvested ill or well we must, of course, leave our readers to judge. But whatever may be their verdict, I hope it is permissible for me to say here that we have worked hard and honestly, sparing no pains, danger, or expense in procuring what we considered interesting or instructive.

Download or read book Aesop s Animals written by Jo Wimpenny and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turns a critical eye on Aesop's Fables to ask whether there is any scientific truth to Aesop's portrayal of his animals. Despite originating more than two-and-a-half thousand years ago, Aesop's Fables are still passed on from parent to child, and are embedded in our collective consciousness. The morals we have learned from these tales continue to inform our judgements, but have the stories also informed how we regard their animal protagonists? If so, is there any truth behind the stereotypes? Are wolves deceptive villains? Are crows insightful geniuses? And could a tortoise really beat a hare in a race? In Aesop's Animals, zoologist Jo Wimpenny turns a critical eye to the fables to discover whether there is any scientific truth to Aesop's portrayal of the animal kingdom. She brings the tales into the twenty-first century, introducing the latest findings on some of the most fascinating branches of ethological research – the study of why animals do the things they do. In each chapter she interrogates a classic fable and a different topic – future planning, tool use, self-recognition, cooperation and deception – concluding with a verdict on the veracity of each fable's portrayal from a scientific perspective. By sifting fact from fiction in one of the most beloved texts of our culture, Aesop's Animals explores and challenges our preconceived notions about animals, the way they behave, and the roles we both play in our shared world.

Download or read book The Photography of Aquatic Animals in Their Natural Environment Classic Reprint written by Jacob Reighard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Photography of Aquatic Animals in Their Natural Environment If the ground glass is put in place and brought by focusing into the plane I I', then the sharp image of distant clouds and trees is seen on it, while the image of the fish lies behind the ground glass and is no longer clearly visible. If the water is smooth, a plate exposed under these circumstances gives a sharp negative of these distant objects, but does not show the fish. If one looks at the fish in the water from the point 0 it is seen clearly, because its image is focused on the retina, while the images of more distant objects mirrored in the water's surface fall in front of the retina, and the objects from which they come are therefore not seen. The observer neglects the glare of light from these distant objects, fixes his attention on the fish, and sees it. If now, while still looking toward the fish, he adjusts his eye to distant objects by relaxing the ciliary muscle, these are clearly seen mirrored in the surface of the water, while the fish is no longer sharply seen. Similarly, if a mirror is laid on the ground so as to reflect the clouds and its image is examined by focusing in a camera, it is impossible to get at the same time on the ground glass a sharp image of the clouds reflected in the mirror and of the frame of the mirror or other near object. It is only when the mirrored object lies near the surface of the water that its image can be focused on the photographic plate or retina at the same time with that of a submerged object near the surface. It nearly always happens that the light entering the camera from distant objects mirrored in the surface of the water is so much more intense than that from submerged objects that the images of the latter are quite obliterated on the photographic plate. Sometimes, on the other hand, when the camera is pointed nearly vertically into the water at an object over a light-colored bottom, the emerging light is more intense than the reflected light, and there is obtained a more or less fogged negative which shows submerged objects. This is the more apt to be the case if the photographer has the sun at his back. (see Saville - Kent, At other times, within the limits of the reflected image (not the shadow) of a dark-colored bridge or building or of dense foliage, one may obtain a fogged negative, showing submerged objects. In this case also the partial success is due to the fact that the reflected light is less intense than that which comes from the submerged objects to be photographed. It is not often, however, that the submerged objects that one wishes to photograph are found within the reflected images of dark-colored backgrounds of sufficient size and far enough away.
