Just Released: Below The Horizon
February 25th, 2010
I am so excited this morning to be releasing Dave Delnea’s Below The Horizon, Understanding Light at the Edges of Day.
A year ago I found Dave Delnea, a Vancouver photographer, online. I was immediately drawn to his work for his incredible understanding of, and ability to capture, light. We’ve become close friends over this year and he wound up in VisionMongers because of my respect for his work and his career. So when it came to collaborating with other photographers on eBooks, Dave was one of the first people I asked to participate.
Below The Horizon is an inspiring read, as much for the images as for his encouragement to take this basic knowledge and get out there and play. There are no secrets here, just solid information and incredible images to back it up and push us out the door.
This is Friday, February 26. For the first 48 hours+ of this release, until midnight PST at the end of Sunday the 28th, Below The Horizon can be had for an introductory price of $4 instead of the usual $5. But that’s not all! If you buy 4 or more of the books, and there are now 8 Craft & Vision titles to choose from, you can have 20% off your order.
Use coupon code DELNEA4 to get Below The Horizon for $4.
Use coupon code DELNEA20 to get 4 or more of the Craft & Vision titles for 20% off.

I’ve added the previous 7 to the cart 3 times now only to get pulled away or distracted by something. Now I know why.
Thanks for the discount David.
Am I shallow or what? I bought it based on the cover! In all seriousness though, I am looking forward to the read. Thanks again for presenting us with these wonderful collections and offers.

David, great to see another ebook in the craft & vision series. I transfer them to my iphone to read – made me think, have you thought about developing a craft & vision iphone app? Customers would download the app and then pay for each ebook to be installed into an iphone reader. What do others think?
Just bought mine. Wow, looks great. Good work David & David!

I love reading so much I totally gave up on taking photos! I now live vicariously through others.
Worth buying if not just for the front cover.
Looks like an amazing read David; thanks for sharing.
All the best to you,
Glyn
Well I used the buy 4 option and have now completed my collection from the Craft & Vision store. I really like this approach using e-books for short subjects.
By the way I think the pricing is about right on these. Compared to buying magazines off the rack for $5+ which are full of ads, these e-books are bargains!
I’ve been following Dave’s work for some time now. I was pleased to see him featured in Vision Mongers. Fantastic photography.
Congratulations from Sweden!
Go, Canada, Go!
I ordered the e-book, payed with PayPal, got an Invoice ID but no email with a link to download the file. What gives? Am I going to have to call my credit card company and cancel payment?
Roger, drop me an email and we’ll get it sorted out. If your address on file with Paypal is not current the email may have slipped through the cracks,or there was a glitch, but you’ll get your ebook, I promise. Just contact us through the craft and vision site and we’ll hook you up.
David – I emailed Craft & Vision and they took care of me right away. Sorry for the rant, it was just one of those bad days for me. This is a great e-book as are all of yours that I own too. Thanks again and keep up all of the great work here.
I’m about to order my copy. If it’s anything like the other ebooks, I’ll be well pleased!
A huge dissapointment as far as content is concerned, which is virtually non-existent. David’s books are much better. It is only a few bucks, but I will think it twice before buying another book from an “unknown” author.
Piotr, while everyone is entitled to their opinion I respectfully disagree. Delanea brings up some very pertinant points about shooting at dusk, waiting around, and night photography – none of which DuChemin has covered in his books. Better is subjective, so I don’t want to downplay your feelings on this – I just want other readers to know that I did find it a valuable read.
Sure, maybe DuChemin WRITES more, and as content goes there’s more of it. But I wouldn’ts say that Delanea’s words were any less poignant; in fact, I’d argue that they were MORE so, because (to me) he was able to convey a clear message in far fewer words, far more descriptively, than DuChemin often can.
I found Delenea’s book a treat, I did read it far faster than other ebooks, but I don’t think it’s any less valid a work and Delanea’s far from “unknown” he does blog and those are also, often, shorter than DuChemin’s…
I got this Stephen King quote from Copyblogger – it relates to “swearing” but I also think it addresses the value of “simpler” language at times:
“Make yourself a promise right now that you’ll never use “emolument” when you mean “tip” and you’ll never say John stopped long enough to perform an act of excretion when you mean John stopped long enough to take a shit. If you believe “take a shit” would be considered offensive or inappropriate by your audience, feel free to say John stopped long enough to move his bowels (or perhaps John stopped long enough to “push”). I’m not trying to get you to talk dirty, only plain and direct.”
I believe DuChemin is far more likely to write emolument, and bowel movement and Delenea’s the guy who’ll write tip & shit… though anyone can feel free to correct me if I’m wrong
Hey man, I have never used the word emolument, in fact I find such ostentatious vocabulary oftens obfuscates rather than illuminates
Point taken however. I will use tip and shit more often 
Piotr, thanks for the honest feedback. I think the reality is that not every book will have the same audience any more than everyone will like the same music. I’m more Bruce Cockburn, Delnea’s more Sting. Or something, I dunno.
