The Arthur Morris CD
The complete first chapter of “The Art of Bird Photography II” is available for download as a PDF file.
You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer in order to view the two PDF versions of the chapter. The free Acrobat reader can be dowloaded from the Adobe web site.
The two downloadable files referenced below are rich with images and large in size. They will typically take about two minutes to download using a cable or DSL Internet connection.
Download the spreads version of the PDF document as the best option for enjoying the beauty of the photographs. If you have a low resolution monitor you might have to scroll back-and-forth. If this is the case, you might prefer the single pages version.
Once you open the book, click on View/Fit in Window. At the bottom of the Acrobat Reader frame there is a tool bar that looks like this:
Clicking on the single square just to the right of the paper size (8.5 x11) will allow you to move up and down a full page at a time when you click on the up or down triangles on the right frame edge. This is easier than scrolling through the entire document.
All of the chapters in the CD book (including this one) have bookmarks that allow you to go directly to the topic that you choose simply by left-clicking on the bookmark. Expand and hide the bookmarks by left-clicking on the bookmark tab.
