Joe Cornish Livres

Un pickpocket rôde dans le quartier. Attention aux portefeuilles ! Ils sont volés l'un après l'autre, même celui de Tintin. Les policiers Dupond et Dupont mènent l'enquête... pour le meilleur et pour le pire !

Drawing on more than two decades of experience, one of Britain’s most distinguished landscape photographers presents a collection of thought-provoking essays accompanied by a selection of stunning imagery. Containing a diverse array of picturesque landscapes ranging from North Yorkshire, the rocky canyons of the Colorado Plateau, the rugged Cornish coast, and the stunning rainforests of New Zealand’s Fjordland, this incredible visual collage reflects the philosophical intent behind each spectacular image. Revealing the technical considerations for each image - including light, weather, timing, composition, what dictated the choice of viewpoint, and selection of film and filters - this analytical yet deeply personal account is replete with practical advice for photographers of all skill levels, and a remarkable visual journey to some of the most beautiful locations in the world.

While no photographer would deny the importance of mastering the technicalities of the craft, most would agree that true satisfaction comes from using technique to realize more profound, creative goals. In this book, distinguished landscape photographer David Ward investigates the goals of photography and how they can best be achieved. He is concerned, primarily, with the nature of creativity as it is experienced and practiced by photographers, and with the thought processes that go into making an image that aspires to be a work of art. In exploring these issues, and in drawing on his own superb work, he has produced a book that goes far beyond the "how to" manual, addressing questions that, though rarely asked, go to the heart of every photographer’s ambitions. David Ward has been a fine-art landscape photographer for more than 20 years; his work has appeared in many publications, including Outdoor Photographer and Amateur Photographer.

Here, acclaimed landscape photographer Joe Cornish turns his eye to the magnificent scenery of Scotland’s 6,000-mile coastline. Traveling from the Mull of Galloway in the south to the tip of Unst in the northerly Shetlands, from the remote St. Kilda in the Atlantic to the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve on the North Sea, he captures all the stunning variety of the Scottish seacoast. Whatever the subject—be it a wide Hebridean vista or fragmented patterns of ice on a frozen beach—Cornish, with his artist’s eye and dramatic use of light, reveals it in fresh and startling beauty. Joe Cornish’s previous book was First A Landscape Photographer’s Art.

A stunning glimpse of some of Britain's finest coastline, from the granite columns of the Giant's Causeway on the Northern Irish coast and the rocky cliffs of Wales and South West England to the great open horizons of the East Anglian shore.

Tintin erwirbt ein Modell des Dreimasters Unicorn, das ihm der aufdringliche Sakharine gleich abkaufen möchte. Doch Tintin lehnt ab und findet im Rumpf des Schiffes eine geheimnisvolle Textrolle. Er stellt Recherchen an und findet heraus, dass die echte Unicorn gesunken ist und mit ihr die bis dato ungeborgenen Reichtümer von Sir Francis Haddock. Gemeinsam mit seinem Hund Snowy geht er auf Schatzsuche. Doch diese gestaltet sich schwierig, denn Sakharine will Tintin um jeden Preis aufhalten…
