I first came across Ben Horne on YouTube and have followed him ever since. This book contains 68 images taken between 2009 and 2020 so I have seen many of them on YouTube. This book is the perfect complement to YouTube as Ben explains how he achieved the final image – from the equipment he uses, the process of choosing the subject, and the difficulties he experienced in getting everything \u201cjust right\u201d. As the photographs are taken on film he also has the uncertainty of knowing whether he has captured the image he wants until the film is processed.<\/p>\n Ben uses large format film to take his photographs, something that is unusual today and requires skill and patience. Many of the images will have necessitated him waiting hours to get just the right light and stillness. That moment when the elements are still gives him the title of the book.<\/p>\n Many of the images include a description of not only the location but what attracted him, why he chose to photograph it and some description of the image to help the reader appreciate the finer details.<\/p>\n I would thoroughly recommend this book not only for the beauty of the images but for their technicality. A wonderful book you can return to again and again, each time seeing something new.<\/p>\n A place to lose yourself in!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is another book that I have added to my bookshelf in 2020.
