Shropshire from Dawn to Dusk

- Blurb -

Father and son professional photographers John and Mike Hayward have worked together to share their enthusiasm for the county they live in and love. Their joy in the Shropshire landscapes, towns and villages shines through on every page. The dedication needed to catch that shot of hot air balloons hovering over Old Oswestry hill fort in early morning, or sunset at Pole Bank pond, the highest point on the Long Mynd, cannot be over-estimated. And the pleasure they take in capturing the people of this county from the Severn Valley Railway steam enthusiasts at Highley, to cricketers at the idyllic village ground at Burwarton, to the priest blessing his congregation in the dodgem cars at Ludlow' s May Fair is clear from every shot. Fans of the Haywards' first book A Year in Shropshire will find over 160 new images of the county here, each one reminding them why Shropshire is one of England' s most glorious counties. AUTHORS: John studied media production at university and still works with creative video, although he prefers to concentrate on still photography. His work is used extensively by national and international picture agencies. Mike is a former newspaper photographer who, in addition to his famous landscapes, has an extensive archive of classic British motor sport images 164 colour photographs, 1 map
