A great souvenier,
By
This review is from: Dances With Light: Photographs Of The Canadian Rockies By Darwin Wiggett (Amazing Stories) (Hardcover)
This is the second of the books I have bought by this photgrapher. It's a great souvenier of a road trip I did last month in the area. It really makes you wish you were back in the Rockies again instead of on a damp and dreary island in the path of every rainstorm crossing the Atlantic.
The author clearly has intimate knowledge of the area and it's an example of what work can be done with a great set of a camera, lenses and filters. I don't think the author has used photoshop. I'd also recommend his guide on photography in the Rockies if you are going there and want to have a try recreating or creating an alternative to some of his works.

Quality Photography at it's very best,
This review is from: Dances With Light: Photographs Of The Canadian Rockies By Darwin Wiggett (Amazing Stories) (Hardcover)
Someone recommended "The Canadian Rockies" book by Douglas Leighton which I purchased. Then I saw the book "How to Photograph the Canadian Rockies" by Darwin Wiggett. After buying Darwin Wiggett's book, I ordered "Dances with Light." This book is quality at it's very best. It's 100% better than "The Candaian Rockies book" by Douglas Leighton. Buy Dances with Light and you'll be thrilled!

Good, But Not Great,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dances With Light: Photographs Of The Canadian Rockies By Darwin Wiggett (Amazing Stories) (Hardcover)
Having purchased Darwin Wiggett books before, I had a certain level of expectation. While this volume contains many *good* photos, overall it doesn't attain to the same height as Darwin Wiggett Photographs Canada. It also is not as well printed as Photographs Canada, which BTW, has a different publisher from Dances With Light (and apparently from all of his other books as well). Is DWL a nice coffee table book? Decidedly yes. But if you're looking for something really special, a true art book, try his Photographs Canada.
