where there’s smoke there’s fire

Here is an update from Walter Chang (website | Tumblr | Instagram | Twitter) who recently finished his three years backpacking trip around the world: 

Last year I shared my story in a guest post with Nikon Rumors about backpacking around the world with Nikon gear. I finally finished my trip this past May and it spanned 3 years and 60 countries.

I wanted to share with you all the work that went behind it and some of the things I’ve learned so far.

My name is Karl Lindsay and nature photography is a big passion of mine. You can see my work in my portfolio or follow me on Facebook and Instagram. I recently got back to Australia from a family road trip through Europe. We packed a lot into one trip, driving through 12 countries over 6 weeks. I was particularly looking forward to seeing the fjords in Norway, Tuscany and Cinque Terre in Italy, and the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

I shoot with a Nikon D610 (Nikon replaced my D600 because of the sensor issue) and use a Nikon 28-300mm and Samyang 14mm for my night photography. During the trip I also used my brother’s Nikon 24-120mm and Tokina 16-28mm. While in Switzerland, my camera fell off the tripod (I didn’t have it on tight enough) and my 28-300mm would no longer focus when using wider focal lengths. I ended up adding a Nikon 18-35mm to my kit, which I ordered on Amazon.co.uk and picked up from a friend in London when we arrived there before going up to Scotland.
