Book Description

June 2004 0931548276 978-0931548277
How can you take more stunning nature photographs? By learning to "see" creatively, transforming the world around you into captured moments of magic and awe.

Photographing Nature in Hawai‘i reveals the art of connecting with the natural world, along with tools and techniques that promise dynamic images. Spanning four Hawaiian islands, authors Robert Frutos and Jenny Thompson take you on a breathtaking photographic journey - from the soaring cliffs of Kaua‘i’s Na Pili Coast to the stark landscape of fire-breathing Kilauea Volcano and over twenty other dramatic locales. The result is a visual feast that inspires while it instructs, leading you toward your own photographic awareness of nature’s majestic drama.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of time, money, and trees, February 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Photographing Nature in Hawaii (Paperback)
I searched high and low for a guide that would tell me where to go for great photographic opportunities but this book is completely useless. It spends more time telling its reader to sit back and relax or meditate that giving any specific photo ops. Nobody needs a book to thell them that a telephoto or zoom lens makes things appear closer. I also don't need to hear the authors attempt at poetry. It doesn't even have a lot of good pictures. The rating system forced a minimum of 1 star but I didn't even want to give it that. If there were negative stars in the rating scale I would give it a negative 5. I have never returned a book but will be making an exception for this one, even though most of the refund will be eaten up in the return postage. I did though purchase one of Andrew Doughty's "Revealed" series "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook" and found it very useful. It has very detailed information of exactly where to go, what to see, and how to get there. That's what I was looking for but just thought by looking for a "Photographer's guide" it would narrow down the topics. I will buy more of Mr. Doughty's "Revealed" books but highly discourage anyone from buying "Photographing Nature in Hawaii".
Maybe I should write my own book after my trip this summer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Novice Photographer, February 29, 2008
By 
C.S. Forrester (Lake Placid, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Photographing Nature in Hawaii (Paperback)
I was disappointed that the book didn't go into more detail about photographic techniques for photographing natural landscapes and the environment. However, for the novice photographer on a first-time trip to Hawaii the book may prove to be a worthwhile investment. The book contains many fine pictures and tips on where to find some scenic locations, but falls short in helping the more experienced photographer hone his or her skills. I must also mention that in the copy I purchased, five pages (pgs 104-108) were bound upside down in the book.
