Rob Holcomb is a chemist, geologist and travel addict. His travels have taken him to several continents and at all times of the year. The photos in this book are a glimpse of the lands he has visited and wants to share with you. The photos in his books are real and have not been modified at all (except for minor brightness/contrast adjustments); most were taken with a Nikon D40 with a 55-200 VR zoom lens. The D40 is very rugged and can handle abuse that would make many other cameras fail, yet it is small, lightweight and easy to use.
