Under the Endless Sky Sneak Peek

The new edition of Under the Endless Sky is at the printers (I should get an advanced copy about the time this post is published), so I thought I'd share a sneak peek at the book.

As previously posted, the book has a new cover; a photo of one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen in the Sacramento Valley, taken on the edge of a rice field north of Butte Slough.

In fact, the entire cover spread is new, and instead of being a smaller 8x10 inch format, the book is a much larger hardcover 11x13 format. (Click images to view larger.)


Not everything has changed about the book, however. The opening pages have few major changes and many of the same images.


The most major changes are the addition of new chapters on wildlife and wildflowers...



...and the addition of a number of new two-page spread images.





The book has expanded from 59 to 94 images, includes a map, as well as a list of all the images taken in the back of the book.

This is a special edition book, and will not be widely available. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, please contact me at adunn@adunnphotography.com.

Under the Endless Sky - 2nd Edition Coming Soon!

I'm currently working on the second edition of Under the Endless Sky - Landscapes of the Sacramento Valley, and I'm incredibly pleased with the book.

I've finished selecting the images and updating most of the text. The cover design is finished.


About all that remains is proof reading and taking an updated photo of myself for the fly leaf. The only photo I have of myself in the field is 12 years old, and, according to my wife, I look 'mean' in it:


What's new in the 2nd edition? The main differences are that the book has been reformatted to a larger format and expanded from 59 to 92 images. Many older images have been replaced by newer (and IMO better) images. Several new chapters have been added, including chapters on valley wildflowers, wildlife, as well as expanded chapters on farmland and orchards. I've also added a detailed map of the locations of all of the images in the book.

Comps are looking great, and I hope to go to press in the next month!

Stay tuned for more updates!
