Mart, is that a type of Kingfisher? Fantastic Images!
Hi Ken, Thanks.
Its Laughing Kookaburra, as you thought related to the Kingfisher, there are very common in Australia, very happy with the detail and the colours of the shots.

Thanks for all the replies:
Random Orbits - I think if the 100-400 II is not out before we leave we may go with the 70-300L, although in Africa we would probably be looking for a bit more reach but if we have a second crop body it may be ok.
Nick Gombinsky - Thanks Nick when we get down that way, we will let you know, we were hoping to have a small exhibition of our photos in Argentina before shipping to South Africa,
Mt Spokane Photography - We have gone through quite a few hard drives already on the trip, we have now installed SSD''s, we have several external drives and have been copying all our photos whilst on the road to Amazon S3, while travelling every now and then we would stop for a few days so that would give the time needed to uploaded everything,
Frodo - Good question, our initial trip was just to travel and document it, although after the first part (34 countries from UK to Australia), we are looking to give ourselves a couple of projects to work on whilst travelling, i.e. Pictures of local people and communities all the way down the America’s or & Landscapes etc.,
We are hoping to take on a couple of projects which will give us the motivation and a reason to interact with local people and also to explore more. Travelling without a goal apart from getting to somewhere was great, but given the once in a life time opportunity we have, we would like to do a bit more.
mb66energy 0 Definitely thinking about a crop back up body but will decide which one just before we leave, hopefully prices will drop further.

Lenses / Kit for travelling around the world for 2 years!
« on: November 16, 2012, 08:18:59 PM »
Hi All
Over the last 2 years we have travelled overland from the UK to Australia, primarily using an old 450D, 17-85 & 55-250mm, although we had managed to get some good and ok pics, we found we missed a lot shots during the trip, probably due to rushing too much and not taking the time to put more thought in the output of our shots.
We have now upgraded to 5d III with a 24-105 for the second part of our trip, and are taking our time enjoying taking photos with the camera.
Our trip will last another two years driving the length of the Americas (Alaska to Argentina) and from South Africa back to the UK.
Due to the nature of the trip will be taking a wide variety of pictures:
• Landscapes
• Wildlife
• Macro
• Urban Portraits, People
We will be travelling by 4x4 so weight is not an issue but dust will be.
Our current thoughts is the following set up:
• 17-40L
• 100 – 400L II (if it is released before we leave)
• Canon 100L Macro or Sigma 150mm
• Manfrotto 055XProB Tripod w/ 496RC2
• Bag – Still undecided – im looking for something that will hold all of the kit as a back pack, but also has space for water / food / rain jacket,
We will be leaving Australia in June 2013, but would like buy the lenses prior to leaving, which will allow us improve our photography skills and get use to using these lenses.
We are on a budget, but do not mind investing in kit which we hope will last us for several years to come, any advice would hugely appreciated.
