Although, I have visited a few places that were part of this book and I am an amateur DSLR photographer myself, I just couldn't believe the dedication and patience that the author has had to carefully take each picture and put a matching comment to accompany it. Many a time I was wondering where the author stood or what risks he took to get that perspective. Both the picture and the comments together are delightfully savory food for the mind and spirit. The author has been very kind to mention the technicality on each picture - the critical information that every photographer craves after seeing a shot ("How did you get that? I have the same lens") - ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, and if any manipulation was done using Photoshop or HDR. Although this book might be perceived initially as an advertisement for Sigma, there is not much mention of it except at the beginning and that is fair. Sigma did pay for the tour and equipment and they deserve kudos for sponsoring this trip and having us all enjoy it vicariously. Behind every great photographer is a buddy and Mario Dirks has given due acknowledgement to his wife. This book will take you places. Literally! I am going to enjoy reading it over and over again. Every time, it brings out a new feeling in me. Full Review  >

This books tells the story of photograph (Mario Dirks) who won the Sigma « Our world » contest. Sigma is a manufacturer that builds photographic lenses and camera, and has decided through this tour to focus on the quality of their products in a great capture. Even if the beginning focus on the manufacturer more than the story and that we could be afraid that it would be a big ad for Sigma, in the end, it is not the case.The book exists in ebook format and in a paperback edition.

One World Tour is an interesting book to review. It is all about a really selfish photographer taking advantage of an opportunity. Full Review  >
