About the Author
Markus Varesvuo is a world-renowned bird photographer who has an uncanny knack for capturing action. While working in the business world for over 20 years, Markus ran a parallel life of bird watching and photography that began in his early teens. In 2005 he became a full-time professional bird photographer and has since written several books and received a number of awards for his photographs. His book Birds: Magic Moments was released by New Holland Publishers in late 2011 in six different languages. In 2010, he won the GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year award in the Birds category.
Markus is focused on European birds and works as eagerly with everyday species as he does with those that are more rare. He doesn’t photograph birds in captivity or use a flash, as he prefers to photograph birds in their natural environment.
Jari Peltomaki is an internationally acclaimed bird photographer and tour operator based in Finland. His thirty-plus years of experience in the field is evident in his books, articles, and talks. Though bird photography is his main interest, his photo library includes other wildlife as well, photographed both in Finland and abroad.
Since 2007, Jari has chaired the Professional Nature Photographers of Finland Association. His photographs regularly receive awards in international competitions and have received several awards in the Veolia Environnement (BBC) Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest. He is the director of Finnature, Finland's leading wildlife tour operator.
Bence Mate is a young and exceptionally talented wildlife photographer. Growing up in a small rural village in the Hungarian plains, a birder's paradise, Bence studied nature, his biggest interest. Most of his spare time was spent fishing, hunting, or bird watching, and he built his first hide at the age of 14.
At a time when Hungary had yet to see its first professional wildlife photographer, Bence decided to become one. He has since won numerous awards for wildlife photography, including the Veolia Environnement (BBC) Wildlife Photographer of the Year award in 2010. In 2006, he started a nature photo tourism business, and his innovations in wildlife photograph-custom-built hides, tripods, and one-way glass-have caught the interest of many photographers. In 2010, Bence published his first book, The Invisible Photographer.
Eagerly tapping into all the possibilities offered by continuous technical evolution, Bence focuses on action photography of wild birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. He lives in Pusztaszer on his farm, which is also his business headquarters. He has built photography centers in Costa Rica and Brazil.

Maybe it's all the snow in the photographs. Or maybe it's the species that I never see here in North America. Or maybe it's that the three Finnish authors and photographers of this book are the most patient, intrepid and artistic of photographers. As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best books of bird photographs I've ever seen.
Varesvuo, Peltomaki and Mate, two Finns and a Rumanian, first published this book in Finland, but the images were captured all over the world from Iceland to Brazil, and, in the United States, Bosque del Apache, New Mexico. Each of the sections of the book is written by a different author and they cover topics as diverse as the importance of perseverance and the art of building a blind. There are also sections describing some of the far-flung locales where the images were taken, including tips on where and what to photograph.
The number of award-winning pictures of both large and small birds in flight, or catching a meal, or preening is staggering. Opening the book at random, I see a photograph of a Little Bittern clutching a stout vertical reed with both feet, leaning way out over water to take a stab at a fish, and the escaping fish, flying through the air in a burst of water droplets. All of this is reflected in the water. The bird and the fish bear a halo of backlight but every detail of the shadow portions of the bird and fish are clear. One can't say this is a typical image, because few pictures in the book are typical.
The artists use a variety of equipment. There is a photograph of Whooper Swans taken with a lens set at 19mm, an angle so wide that most bird photographers would never assay an image with such a lens. But here are three swans large in the frame and ranks of other swans stretching back toward distant mountains.
