“We are delighted to congratulate Brutus Östling on his achievement.” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “The Panda Book of the Year has proved a consistently great way of raising environmental awareness in Sweden. Given that Canon has been a major sponsor to WWF since 1998, we are particularly proud to be associated with The Kingdom of Eagles.” After years of shooting film, Brutus recently switched to digital and now shoots almost exclusively on Canon’s EOS-1D Mark III. “During the making of this book, Canon’s digital cameras helped me get shots I could have never have taken in the past,” said Brutus Östling. “In particular, they produce some amazing results in
extremely low-lit conditions.” The Panda Book of the Year jury praised the book’s striking contribution to nature photography. ”In this majestic book…we have the privilege of seeing an exposition of pictures in a dimension hitherto unknown: eagles as emblems, eagles with a soul and strong expressions, and eagles as protagonists in thrilling and dramatic photo sequences.”
