Smartphones and social media have made photographers – and photo critics – out of all of us. If you or your kids think they’re good at photography, it is humbling to have a book of masterpieces from the inventors of travel photography: National Geographic. Here are a few of my favorite titles:
@NatGeo: The Most Popular Instagram Photos – If you’ve not been following the best photographers in the world, you can catch up on what you’ve missed in this neat square book.
Rarely Seen Photographs of the Extraordinary – This volume features once-in-a-lifetime natural spectacles that even NatGeo photographers can’t believe they saw.
Wild Beautiful Places – These amazing shots are of places you might actually visit someday – but you know you will never get a single photo anywhere near as good.
Stunning Photographs – ‘nuff said: Page after page of phenomenal natural phenomena.
