BRITAIN'S BEST LANDSCAPES
Britain's Best Landscapes and How To Photograph Them
by Robert Harvey BA ARPS EFIAP CEnv CSci MCIWEM
Published June 2021
Anyone can photograph the landscape … but what makes a striking landscape photograph? Why and how does a superb photograph stand out from the rest?
This book explains the fundamentals of accomplished landscape photography, along with the techniques and perception required to take your images to the next level. It covers everything from equipment, composition and light to making the most of seasons and the weather. There is a wealth of guidance on topics such as photographing lakes, waterfalls, the coast, tides, waves and storms. You will find inspiration to help you plan ahead and think creatively, make the most of opportunities and develop your photographic style. How can you make your pictures more compelling, capture a moment or tell a story?
The second part of the book gives you all the information needed to photograph 100 outstanding locations throughout Britain. From the southern tip of Cornwall to the northernmost Shetland island, taking in all 15 National Parks, stunning coastlines and the most spectacular historic sites, they encompass the magnificent variety of Britain’s rural landscapes. For each location, there is comprehensive information on viewpoints, directions, maps, co-ordinates and where to park, together with the best times of day and year.
Robert says “My philosophy is that as a landscape photographer, I strive to show the world as I see it. Careful composition, good timing, seasons and light provide the creative elements of my photography.”
In his Foreword to the book, Dr Richard Ellis ARPS, Chair of the Royal Photographic Society Landscape Group writes: “Robert takes us across the regions with a set of stunning images. He is equally at home on the coast, up in the hills or out on the moors ... This is a really comprehensive book for the landscape photographer and I am very happy to recommend it.”
An independent review in Outdoor Photography magazine (September 2021) states "If you are after a comprehensive guide to shooting the UK landscape, look no further: Wiltshire-based pro Robert Harvey's book covers the nuts and bolts, as well as showing where to head to capture amazing images ... Illustrated with Harvey's excellent pictures, Britain's Best Landscapes is full of ideas and inspiration."

“You never know what you are going to get when you order on line. Your book is exquisite, its layout is so immersive, and the photos leap off the pages and grab your attention. I can see that I will be reading it from cover to cover, and then multiple times for reference. You are clearly a master of your art, and I’m very keen to learn from your approach.”
“Thank you so much for creating this amazing book. I have been doing photography since the 1970s and my first love was landscapes. But there is still so much more to learn from your book. Even for photographers who are not intending to visit UK beauty spots (and most of us would if we got the chance) the wealth of photographic and location information is immensely valuable. But most of all I love the superb collection of photos of Britain’s most beautiful areas. This book is surely a work of love and a life’s work. The book overall is such high quality that who would not want to own it? It is not just a book for photographers but for lovers of natural beauty. ”
“Wow! Have just received Robert’s book and it’s amazing. Packed full of photographic information and great photos. We now have ideas of places to visit when on holiday for super shots. Well worth the money.”
“Just loving your book Robert. So much to go at. Congratulations.”
“I am absolutely delighted with my copy of your book it really is a comprehensive and consummate guide to landscape photography. A masterpiece really! There are so many ideas and it could only have been produced after decades of research and experience. Needless to say the photographs are fantastic too! If I can learn a tiny percentage from the forthcoming trips I have booked with you I will be very happy!””
“Excellent book packed full of great information and images!! Ordered a second copy for daughter’s birthday.”
“It is a beautifully produced and presented book and I shall certainly enjoy browsing it and, of course, visiting many of the locations you have identified. I did, primarily, want the book for the locations (and directions to them) but you have also provided a mine of useful information from which I’m sure to pick a number of tips. I was anticipating receiving a book on similar lines to your ‘Photographing Wiltshire’ one but you have set a new boundary with this one. Once again, thank you very much for what will be a most informative read.”
“I watched your presentation for Lacock Photography and have bought your book. It’s a delight. I am really pleased with it. What I like is that you have taken some of the images with a 70D and have used other affordable equipment as well as top of the range camera’s, which makes me hopeful that I can take similar images! A really great purchase.”
“I have received your new book today and just ‘flipped’ through each page. I was excited to do this and most definitely am now looking forward to revisiting it in depth. This is my third book of yours, and this one is like all these, bursting with great images to admire, learn from and keep. Well designed and structured it is great value for money.”
