As humans, we are drawn to predators like no other group of animals. They are the epitome of form and function, and have a level of perfection that we revere.

In 2009, wildlife expert, conservationist and photographer David Plummer was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. Rather than let it defeat him, he was galvanised to grab life by the horns and achieve the perfect wildlife shot.

Over the next seven years, he did much more than that. The result is this breathtaking collection of over 200 of his best and favourite photographs of exotic and wild animals intheir natural habitats. To capture them, David travelled to some of the most remote andstunning locations across the world, from Africa to India to the Galpagos Islands and back to his native England.

7 Years of Camera Shake showcases seven years of immersive and illuminating photography: of predators on the prowl, of prey in the clutches of death, of the inexplicable synchronisation of nature, of the beautiful relationship between mother and child, and much, much more.

Plummers work has been featured in wildlife publications and national and international press, and now the work he has produced since his diagnosis is showcased here, accompanied by his thoughts and anecdotes on how he achieved each perfect shot.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Plummer is a passionate experienced and respected - photo 1
ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Plummer is a passionate experienced and respected - photo 2
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Plummer is a passionate, experienced and respected wildlife
expert and professional photographer. His images are featured in leading
publications and he is a regular guest on TV and radio. David advises
internationally on eco-tourism and is a proactive conservationist.
Wildlife and photography have always been Davids two great loves.
He is a wildlife photographer who only takes pictures of wild animals
in their natural habitat. His extensive knowledge of the animals and
birds and their environment is the first essential ingredient behind his
breathtaking images. The second vital element is research: David studies
relentlessly to get under the skin of a new subject before heading into
the field. The third is endless patience: David regularly waits for hours,
often in the most inhospitable environments, to get the perfect shot.
Taking the perfect image is a great quest. The buzz that I get when
I achieve it is the culmination of a lot of hard work and problem-solving
to get inside the fear circle of that animal: there is nothing serendipitous
about the perfect wildlife photo. And everything in the image is
important to me: the animal, the perch, the background, the lighting.
But its never over: we can always get different shots, different
behaviours.
In 2016, when he was featured in a BBC film made for
The One
Show,
David spoke publicly for the first time about living with Parkinsons
disease. His unrelentingly positive attitude, combined with more than a
touch of belligerence, has helped David prove that life with Parkinsons
does not only go on but can be lived magnificently. It is widely regarded
that David has achieved his best work since his diagnosis seven years
ago, and he hopes that by showcasing these photographs he can inspire
others to believe that Parkinsons does not have to mean the end of a life
worth living. David is donating 50 per cent of his profits from this book
to Parkinsons UK charity.

DEAR READER
The book you are holding came about in a rather different way to most others. It was funded
directly by readers through a new website: Unbound. Unbound is the creation of three writers.
We started the company because we believed there had to be a better deal for both writers and
readers. On the Unbound website, authors share the ideas for the books they want to write directly
with readers. If enough of you support the book by pledging for it in advance, we produce a
beautifully bound special subscribers edition and distribute a regular edition and e-book wherever
books are sold, in shops and online.
This new way of publishing is actually a very old idea (Samuel Johnson funded his dictionary this
way). Were just using the internet to build each writer a network of patrons. At the back of this
book, youll find the names of all the people who made it happen.
Publishing in this way means readers are no longer just passive consumers of the books they buy,
and authors are free to write the books they really want. They get a much fairer return too half the
profits their books generate, rather than a tiny percentage of the cover price.
If youre not yet a subscriber, we hope that youll want to join our publishing revolution and have
your name listed in one of our books in the future. To get you started, here is a 5 discount on your
first pledge. Just visit unbound.com, make your pledge and type 7years in the promo code box
when you check out.
Thank you for your support,
Dan, Justin and John

FOREWORD
I
first met David whilst presenting a piece for BBCs The One Show.
I had been told by the series producer that I was going to meet a
photographer who had built a floating hide and was getting incredibly
intimate shots of water birds called Little Grebes on their nest.
Little Grebes can be notoriously difficult to get images of. Not only, as
their name suggests, are they pretty small so you need to get close to
them, but theyre also very shy and have a habit of popping down under
the water and disappearing whenever you get close.
It sounded a challenging and fun job.
I was going to go out with David, who had built me my own floating hide,
and together we would set sail onto a lake in Surrey to find these elusive
birds. A mini camouflaged armada, but with cameras not cannons, ready
to fire shots if we could find the birds in question.
I had read about floating hides many years ago and seen some results by
other talented photographers. The water level perspective gives you eye
to eye contact with your subject and the results are very intimate, quite
