In October 2018 I produced a little book. It wasn’t commissioned, and it wasn’t crowdfunded. Indeed, upon completion of the project, I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to do with the images, if anything at all. The project was, first and foremost, for me, and the prospect of producing something as tangible as a book couldn’t have been further from my mind. With only a small selection of images (Summer, only) that had ever been seen, at the time I hadn’t a clue that I was to carry on with the project over the following three seasons but once I did Autumn it became clear that I simply had to finish the task.
One week per season
One location
One hour
One lens
I was very humbled that so many wanted a copy and now, seventeen months on. I have made an eBook of the project which is available for purchase. Whereas the book measured just 7x7 inches (I wanted it to be small to reflect the intimacy of the wood) and contained 85 images, this ebook has 91 high-resolution photographs enabling it to be viewed on your big screen monitor or TV!
Special offer
Needless to say, we are all going through a very difficult time at present and due to the lockdown measures (and with just one form of exercise per day), our photography has largely been curtailed. And so, with the vast majority of us stuck indoors for much of the day what better way to while away a few minutes than by browsing through an eBook depicting the changing seasons of an English woodland. Perhaps, it'll even take your mind off all that is going on for a few moments.
50% discount on all ebooks for the next 4 weeks
My other 3 eBooks sell at £5.40 (this includes VAT) which was the price I intended to sell my new one. But, for the next four weeks, I will be giving a 50% discount on all eBooks. I can do even better! On my website, it states that if you buy 2 (Close-ups and Landscapes) you get the third (Autumn in Lapland) free. That's £10.80 for 3 eBooks. But now with that 50% discount applied (and the fact that they are purchased directly through me and so no VAT added), the price comes down to just £2.25 per eBook. For £4.50 you get 3 eBooks: Landscapes, Close-Ups and Lapland. And, guess what, for just 50p extra I'm going to include ONE in that offer, too, meaning that for £5 you get 4 eBooks!
You're welcome to mix it up and have, for example, ONE, landscapes and Lapland for £4.50. But why not spend just 50p extra and get an additional one, too!
Just £2.25 each!
To take advantage of this offer you will need to contact me, directly, at rmcanis@msn.com (or via the Contact form, above) and I will advise on payment methods. Both Paypal and bank transfer are accepted. Once made I'll email you download links for the eBooks.
£4.50 for 3 or £5 for all 4 eBooks
Alternatively, should you wish to just purchase the eBook: ONE (or any other), for £2.25 then, of course, you can do so by the same method.
Synopsis
In late June of 2016, a busy week in the office laid ahead with an impending week-long trip to Italy, and I knew that upon my return, there would be countless tasks to deal with. So, I thought I would set myself this project which would give me the extra incentive of returning to nature every day prior to my departure. I have always enjoyed projects, no matter how large or small, for they are a powerful means of focussing on a specific task, as it can be all too easy to wander and return with nothing in particular. I wanted to travel light, but more than that, to use the absolute bare minimum of equipment; to get back to basics. I left my tripod, numerous other lenses and filters at home, dusted off my age-old 50mm lens, attached the strap to the camera, and disappeared into the beckoning wood for just one hour per day, for one week.
