He has made multiple expeditions to southwest Tasmania, Patagonia, and Antarctica, and published critically acclaimed photo books about each of these places; he has also carried his camera into the Karakoram, and the Alps of Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In this oversize volume, Neilson recounts his lifelong quest to capture the mountain light and encourage the preservation of wild places. His most spectacular images of jagged peaks, massive glaciers, and hardy wildlife are reproduced as duotones of the highest quality. A number of vertical double-page images even invite readers to turn the book sideways to immerse themselves in the mountain heights. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eChasing the Mountain Light\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e will delight all lovers of the outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Australian landscape photographer David Neilson’s Chasing the Mountain Light (Abbeville Press, October 2022) combines a fascinating memoir with stunning black-and-white photographs that embody his lifelong passion for photography, climbing, and preserving untamed spaces like Patagonia and the Australian Alps.\" - Architectural Digest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface: \"When the Contour Lines Sing Together\" 7 Mountains of my Childhood 9 Climbing 15 Federation Peak: South West Tasmania 21 Frenchmans Cap: South West Tasmania 33 Lake Pedder: South West Tasmania 43 Southern Alps of New Zealand: Broader Horizons 53 To an Unknown Valley: Northern Patagonia 69 Fitz Roy - Cerro Torre - Paine: Patagonia 79 Journey to Tierra Del Fuego \u0026amp; the Southern Patagonian Ice-cap 97 Wilsons Promontory: South-eastern Cornerstone of Australia 117 Australian Alps 125 South Georgia: Sub-antarctic Isle 161 East Antarctica 175 Antarctic Peninsula 189 Ross Sea 209 European Alps 219 Karakoram: West of the Himalaya 231 Notes on my Photographic Journey 249 The South Coast of Tasmania: Wild Places for Future Generations 251 Bibliography 252","brand":"Abbeville Press Inc.,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884629963095,"sku":"9780789214515","price":59.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780789214515.jpg?v=1722532796","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chasing-the-mountain-light-9780789214515","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
