Naturism Books

There are not so many naturism books out there on the shelves but a few I have found good and from a new series are from the writers Nick Mayhew-Smith et al. The book 'The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts' has recently come out and it is very informative and in my view and quite importantly, quite accurate and up-to-date.

In the same series from Nick Mayhew-Smith et al are also Bare Britain and Bare Beaches and both can be ordered direct from the Bare Beaches website. It is not very often that new naturism books come out and these guides are quite unique in that there are so few guides providing information about where naturism can be enjoyed.

The Bare Beaches website also offers regular updates on material in their books which also makes their books worthwhile. If it is Cap D'agde information you need, you know where to look!

2008 Nudist Polar Bear Dip - World Record! - Canada

One of the highlights of the winter for some of the madder nudists is the Polar Bear swim every Christmas in cities around the world. In English Bay in Canada, more than 2,000 nudist swimmers braved the frozen waters of the bay for the 88th swim.

The swim was watched by as many people, as friends and associates etc stood by on the side and watched the nudist polar bear dip, but dressed and in warmth! The organisers have now sent details of the event to the Guinness Books of Records and they hope that this years 2008 English Bay nudist dip will qualify for the largest number of people at one time to do the nudist skinny dip.

DO you know of any more nudist world records???? What record would you love to try? Send us your blog comments. For naturism swimming in the summer do not forget Cap D'agde resort.

Istrian Peninsula, Croatia Nudist & Naturism travel

The Istrian Peninsula, Croatia is a place where you can these take naturism and nudist holidays and it is a place worth considering from our experience. Valalta on the Southern Croatian Istrian coast, is a lovely area and it boasts a well organised and quality naturist resort.

On the local naturism resort you can stay naked 24 hours a day although and the naturist hotel offers half board and good facilities. The naturism resort area and hotel have facilities which include a pool area, sunbathing areas, local shops, massage, gym and sauna, in addition to live entertainment.

New flights from UK to Cap D'agde

Some great news for naturist and naturism lovers who live in the South West and South of England. Ryanair.com this week have announced that from 15th May 2008, they will be flying from Bristol, England to Beziers airport in the Languedoc region.

From Beziers airport you can literally get a taxi direct to Cap D'agde naturism resort (the worlds largest nudists village, with shops, clubs, a 3 mile sandy beach and much more). My wife and I have previously used a taxi to the airport from the resort and it came to approx 60 euros (which is far far cheaper than hiring a car and takes only about 35 minutes).

Before, travellers from the South West and South Wales would have had to go to London to fly to Beziers of Montpelier. This new flight will really make the journey far easier. For all flight and travel to Cap D'agde click here.

Spencer Tunick in Miami - Naturist photos

Yesterday saw Spencer Tunick take pictures for his latest installation, with 600 people stripping down to the buff in Miami Beach in Florida, USA. After recent group photo installations in Newcastle and Melbourne, Spencer was down in the Art Deco area.

Taking place at the Sagamore Hotel in Miami, the six hundred volunteers got down to their birthday suits at around midday and a variety of photos were taken including several on the balcony of the hotel and other pictures on props such as sun beds. The photos will all be displayed in the future, in the hotel lobby art collection.

Spencer Tunick has been taking pictures of people in the buff for years and he has reverted lately to also including props such as getting some of the nudist models to bathe in chocolate first in preparation for the photos. The type of people who pose for the photos are normally literally from every walk of life and have included pregnant women and businessmen in the past.

Other news: The Online naturist and funwear shop will be live November!

Naturism photography

If you are interested in naturism then one hobby you might really enjoy taking up is naturism photography. Photographing the naked body can be fun for you and your partner and there are also groups and several books about this subject.

What makes this naturism hobby so simple is that many digital cameras these days, such as the D40 are more than good enough for what you will need and tripods are also cheap. With a couple of naturism photography book syou will be all set. One book I would recommend is the book Lighting for Nude Photography (Paperback) by Rod Ashford. This book, available on www.amazon.com and www.amazon.co.uk is a great book to start with.

You should remember that with naturism and photography though that you should ask permission from anyone you are taking a picture of.
