Have you ever been watching one of the BBC\u2019s groundbreaking wildlife documentaries and thought \u201cHow did he get that shot?!\u201d \u2013 well now you can find out the incredible stories behind the images in Doug Allan\u2019s debut book.\u00a0 Doug will be at the Alley Theatre on Saturday 21st<\/sup> September selling and signing copies of this wonderful book and telling all the stories behind the action. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Braving the elements and depths of the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans, Doug has produced a fascinating 240 page book filled with exceptional photographs and secrets of life behind the lens, giving you a peek into the often hostile yet inspiring world of a wildlife cameraman.\u00a0 On the night you will be able to see amazing film footage and listen to Doug\u2019s experiences as well as having the opportunity to ask him questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This book is so much more than a collection of superb images. Doug started life as a research diver in 1976 at Signy Island, Antarctica. Now with 35 years of experience in the Antarctic and Arctic, the stories that accompany every picture in this book tell of Doug\u2019s astonishing adventures and encounters, his insights and emotions, his deep understanding of the biology of the animals and the psychology of film-makers. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Following a foreword from friend, Sir David Attenborough, the book is split into six sections; with many stories from Doug\u2019s unique polar experiences and Arctic field craft, highlighting the challenges – and frustrations – of filming the animals themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The book contains 70 long and short stories under the following themes: <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Camerawork <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Polar Heavens <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Ice & Snow, Cold and Colder <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Shots to Remember <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Near Misses <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Characters I Have Known <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7<\/span> Turning Up the Heat <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

From being pulled under water by a walrus, to the cunning and predatory Orca whales\u2019 hunting skills. Doug invites you to learn about and discover the awe-inspiring nature hidden within the polar wastelands. Often exciting, sometimes humorous and always revealing and refreshingly honest, this is a uniquely personal portrait of the polar environments and the animals that live there, written by the man who\u2019s spent more time there with a camera than anyone else. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery picture tells a story. I\u2019ve just given the ones in this book a chance to tell theirs.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
