THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHING NATURE by Martha Hill, photographs by Art Wolfe (Crown: $27.50; 184 pp., paperback original). The former picture editor of Audubon magazine, Hill offers clear discussions of the merits of individual photographs, explaining why one shot would be considered more successful than another. The highly respected wildlife photographer Art Wolfe adds technical details and personal reminiscences about each picture. The result is an unusually informative how-to book, enriched by Wolfe’s glorious studies of animals, plants and landscapes.
