Beautiful photography June 1, 2008
I bought this book as remembrance of a trip to the Canadian Rockies and liked it so well that I bought a gift copy for some western Canadian friends who moved the the desert. You will never be able to linger long enough to capture the kinds of photos found in this book, so no matter how good a photographer you may be, these can add to your own work. Definitely worth the money.

 Good, But Not Great June 10, 2007
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.
Quality Photography at it's very best July 26, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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!
A great souvenier June 8, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
