William Gray travelled around Britain for two years, researching each location and taking all the images for this book. He reflects: "By compiling this book, I wanted to suggest some answers to common photography questions. Where are the best places to go for a photography break in Britain? When are the best times to plan a weekend or short break away with your camera? How do you compose the best shots and capture the perfect light? And how do you plan a trip that covers everything you need to consider for both photography and travel?

"It has been a joy exploring Britain’s landscapes, cities and wild spaces to write and photograph this book. They offer photographers of all levels an endless range of opportunities for capturing their beauty and diversity on camera."
