Indonesia

For whatever reason, Indonesia was never at the top of my list to visit. Despite living in Shanghai for nearly 8 years, it was never on my list. However, after visiting, I’ve got to say, that within the 2 weeks that I was there, I saw and experienced some of the most amazing things in the world.

Borneo

One of the biggest pleasures I’ve had during my travels is meeting The Great Apes, our cousins. One of the 5 is endemic to Borneo, the Orangutan.

Hiking Volcanoes

Regardless of whether you are an amateur, enthusiast or pro, the one common denominator you need for shooting wildlife is a camera with serious zoom. Whether this is a small compact with 30x zoom, a mirrorless APS-C with 100-400 lens or a full frame Canikon with 300mm F2 bazooka, that will depend on how much you care about photography!
For reference, all of the photos on this page were shot using a Fujifilm X-H1 with 100-400mm Zoom Lens with 1.4x Teleconverter attached.

The Gili’s

which is literally like going back in time…

Peanut Sauce…

The food was really good- I think after a few days it became obvious that the Indonesians love peanut sauce.
Gado Gado is an interesting dish
Chicken Satay is almost a cliche because it’s the one item that’s on many menu’s around the world.
