Uwe Skrczypczak is offering a free copy of his E-Book on Wildlife Photography tomorrow (time limited opportunity). I suspect you will probably have to give personal information in the process. I suspect also that this process will put you on an e-mailing list.

http://www.serengeti-wildlife.com/wildlife_buch_englisch.php

It appears to be this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Wildlife-Photography-Equipment-Techniques-Workflow/dp/1933952563/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1

Note that this is a 24 hour event only, and the time period varies with your local time. See that first link for the details.

This not sponsored by DGrin and DGrin does not endorse or recommend this promotion.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks for the info!

    Unfortunately, the page doesn't load for me at all. I just get a white page for a while, then the "timeout" message. I tried on Firefox and Safari. ne_nau.gif

    The owner has apparently shipped the file to Google Docs here:

    https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8YIZ01cvC2IOTZlNDNhMzEtOTY5NC00NThiLTk0YTQtMzc4ZmQxMDFmNDQ3

    Once you click on the link above, look in the upper right for a button that says, "Download Original", and click on that button for the best copy at that site. The correct file should be around 13MB and 237 pages. (If you scroll the PDF to the bottom it should show page 224.)

    Just downloaded it via Google docs, after more than a few unsuccessful attempts via the regular website.

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    just think if you had read it now after you got back <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/headscratch.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" > maybe no 200/400?? I see why Harry got this book but like he said this is about africa but wildlife is wildlife and his tips on gear and shooting are great . Also his outlook on keeping wildlife safe is right on I wish that more than 10% would read and follow this

    Try another Internet browser. The Google Docs link should work with most browsers, but there may be isolated instances ...
