About Beneath Cold Seas: The Underwater Wilderness Of The
Product Description In Beneath Cold Seas, David Hall takes us into the underwater world of the Pacific ocean, home of the most diverse and visually spectacular marine life of any temperate or cold-water ecosystem on the planet. From tiny, candy-striped shrimp to giant Pacific octopus, alabaster nudibranches to rockfish schooling among kelp, and orchid sea stars to white-sided dolphins, Hall's stunning photographs reveal both the symbiotic and predatory relationships that can be found in these waters. State-of the-art camera equipment and special lighting allow Hall to capture this underwater world in ways that will surprise even those most familiar with it and amaze the rest of us. Sarika Cullis-Suzuki discusses the conservation issues facing this rich yet vulnerable ecosystem. Review "Dispelling the myth that cold, murky waters equal boring waters, Hall has captured the staggering beauty and variety of marine life found in the Pacific Northwest. Although the animals themselves are truly amazing, it is Hall's creative eye and masterful photographic technique that really sets this book apart."―Jemima Greaves, Outdoor Photography Magazine "Hall has consistently managed to capture patterns, textures and colors . . . as if they were created on an easel. David Hall is an inspirational master who clearly hasn't yet gotten all of the recognition that he deserves."―Peter Symes, X-ray Magazine "Hall's images - which, at times, appear to be photographs of life on another planet - reflect not just the amazing diversity of sea life in local waters, but also the spectacular carnival of colors hidden just below the surface."―Brangien Davis, Seattle Magazine, December 2011 "He depicts our underwater world in a way that will amaze scuba divers and art lovers alike."―Tracey Sherlock, Vancouver Sun, December 2011 "One of the most impressive photography books we've seen in a long time."―Ask_Kelly's Blog, OhRanger.com, August 2012 "The level of consistency and standard of imagery is quite exceptional and it captures the wild spirit of this corner of the planet page after page. . . . It is difficult to imagine that there will ever be a better collection of photographs to come out of this area."―Peter Rowlands, Underwater Photography, January 2012 "This book is a work of art from every possible angle - from the exquisite photographs, to the book's design, to its flawless printing and production process. . . . Hall has everything right in this book. There is nothing extraneous, and nothing missing. This is a complete and moving immersion in the breathtaking underwater world of the Pacific Northwest."―National Outdoor Book Award Foundation, winner for Design and Artistic Merit "This book offers a fascinating view of the cold-water ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest and artistically illuminates the intriguing underwater world. Hall's images celebrate and explore the amazing diversity found in this valuable and vulnerable ecosystem."―Jenny Montgomery, Photo Life, January 2012 "Using state-of-the-art equipment, innovative techniques and electronic strobes, David Hall shows up an underwater world surprising to those who think color and diversity belong to the tropics."―Marilyn Dahl, ShelfAwareness, December 2011 "You will never look at the slate-gray waters of Puget Sound with the same eyes after perusing these photos."―Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times, December 2011 "An exuberant celebration of northwest coast marine life said to be the most diverse and spectacular of any coldwater ecosystem on the planet."― Diver, May 2012 "David Hall's superb images come from one of the most unlikely underwater venues, the Pacific Northwest, where the waters are frigid and often clouded with phytoplankton. . . . Yet these photographs are filled with subtle coloration, and so uniquely composed that you are often left wondering how he did it."―Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History, November 2013 "Rarely photographed underwater creatures can appear alien-
