Beautiful Photography! December 7, 2009

I bought this book to keep in commemoration of my & my husband's recent trip to Hawaii. This book so beautifully captures all of the majesty and wonder of the island of Kaua'i as we will always remember it. It looks great displayed in our living room for all of our guests to see and just to flip through to reminisce.

Picture perfect August 31, 2009

I bought this because Andrew's travel books were THE BEST for Hawaii. Book is a perfect picture reminder of our trip.

One gripe, want to see picture books for Maui and Oahu.

Nice picture book, but not a great work of art August 16, 2009
Ursiform (Torrance, CA USA)

I ordered both the Big Island and the Kaua'i versions of "Hawaii Dreamscapes Revealed". (I have been to both islands.) The major reason was that Andrew Doughty, author and co-photographer (with Leona Boyd) is the author of the best guidebooks to the Hawaiian Islands, also published by Wizard Publications. My opinion of both books is very similar, so I hope you will excuse my repeating much of the text in my two reviews.

Kaua'i is the oldest and wettest of the large islands. As such, it's features have been shaped by erosion, and it is largely lush and green. (Although the western canyons are dryer and starker.) After a hike on the Na Pali coast my memory card was so infused with moisture that I wasn't able to extract the pictures until I reached a dryer area on Maui!

The pictures are generally well done, but give a sense of "I could have taken that picture if I was in the right place at the right time". (In fact, I've taken some pictures as good or better on the islands, but few people will have the opportunity to spend the time it takes to cover a whole island with enough revisits to get cooperative light and weather everywhere.) There are very few breathtaking, "I couldn't have done that" shots in the book. In fact, some of the pictures are not very interesting, or have technical flaws. The book could probably have been 20-30% shorter while being better from an overall photographic standpoint. Doughty's captions are short and serviceable, but having his guidebook for context will help if your interest goes beyond looking at attractive landscapes.

If you like picture books and want either something to remind you of Kaua'i or to help plan a trip, this is a decent book. I was careful to order when Amazon had it at the lower end of the price yo-yo they seem to like to put it through.
