Video Description:

On 11th September 2014, I embarked on a journey to conquer Mt Rinjani (3,726 m or 12,224 ft), the second highest active volcano in Indonesia. It was definitely one of the most difficult treks I've done, not only because of the height but also because of the little time we had to acclimatize to the altitude. We went from sea level to 3000+m in less than 24 hours. I also spent quality time in Gili and Bali and hung out with some of the most interesting people I've met.

This video is dedicated to the hardship of mountaineering and the diversity Indonesia has to offer. Indonesia is the only country I could think of that lets you go from the summit of a mountain as high as 3726m to a different tropical island (Gilis) in less than 24 hours.

It was a short trip, but it was one of the most memorable ones. I'm grateful for all the great people I met and spent time with (you know who you are :)).

Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

Wondering what camera I am currently using? Here are all the camera gear I usually take with me when I am traveling:

Camera: Sony a7R V, the highest resolution full-frame camera out there, is my go-to camera when I travel. All of my recent photos and videos are all from this beast.
All-Around Travel Lens: Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens is the lens I mounted on my camera the most. The lens covers most of the ranges I need for travel from wide to telephoto. If I have to take only one lens with me on my travel, it would be this lens.
Ultra-Wide Lens: Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lnes: An ultra-wide lens I often use to shoot expansive landscapes and capture massive architecture I stumble upon while traveling.
Telephoto Lens: Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens is one of the most versatile lenses to have. It is great for picking out details in landscapes and capturing wildlife when combined with the Sony FE 2x teleconverter.
Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Lens is the most compact and lightweight 85mm F1.4 lens out there. It's sharp and produces stunning bokeh for subject separation, perfect for portraits and street photography.
Drone: DJI Mavic Mini 2, a perfect drone for those who travel light. It weighs less than 250g and smaller than an iPhone when folded and can capture 4K video as well as 12 megapixels RAW photos. More than enough for its size.
Bag: Langly Alpha Globetrotter is a camera bag I use to carry all these lenses as well as other essentials when I'm traveling.
