Digital Camera Magazine (Sept 2016) 'David Tipling is renowned in the industry for his magnificent images of seabirds. His latest book Seabirds of the World showcases stunning imagery from Antarctica to the Arctic.; Mark Cocker - Eastern Daily Press: The whole book is more than a standard manual of wildlife information. It is a work of art by one of Britain's leading nature photographers. he author is deeply alive to the context in which his seabirds live. He is always playing with the depth of focus or looking for angles or opportunities and calculating the exact moment to take the shot, so that a single photograph becomes a way of summarising an entire mode of existence. And while rugged landscapes and environmental stress are constant elements, there is also great tenderness in the book.; British Birds (Sept 2016) This book would make a nice present for anyone who really appreciates Seabirds.
