Hey thanks again errbody for the nice words!!
Well, Chile is a very very long country (very narrow also as you prob know).. Since we wanted to visit about 6 different cities and you land right in the middle of the country (Santiago), it's very very hard to see that much stuff if you only travel by bus.
Also, the national flights are very cheap with Sky Airline. We travelled for 20 days and it was a crazy, uber tight schedule, it reminded me of the amazing race seriously!
As for the strike in Patagonia, here's briefly what happened:

When I came back I was interviewed by CBC, LCN and RDI lol
We basically got stuck for the last week of our trip, we were stuck in a shitty little town, missed our connection flight and our flight back to Canada..
No, this is all done with the 45mm TS lens (the one I'm selling now cuz I'm broke)....
It's my favorite lens but I only use it for fun, not really for my business so it has to go!
I will buy it again as soon as I get back on my feet..
thanks man!
t'es chanceux, je retournerais n'importe quand!
La patagonie oui on a fait le ''W'' en 3.5 jours... Ce que je ne te recommande pas du tout de faire!! c'était du suicide, j'ai presque pas eu le temps de prendre des photos, j'ai fucké mon genou etc..
Si tu veux des conseils pour ton voyage hésite pas à m'écrire ou à m'appeller!
Et puis j'espère que tu as un bon budget parce que le Chili c'est cher en TABARNAK..
2 bonus Panoramic, un lac sulfureux a 4500 mètres d'altitude dans le désert de Bolivie et le part de Torres del Paine (pas le meilleur point de vue cependant).. Ca a l'air de rien en résolution web mais c'est environ 30 mpix, je peux les imprimmer gros comme mon mur lol

Ouai ... le budget c'est ok ! anyway tout le monde sait que le Chili c'est pas un pays du Tiers Monde !
J'ivais principalement pour faire un voyage de kayak dans le coin de Temuco, près de la frontière de l'argentine... Mais j'vais fort probablement faire du Hike sur le volcan villarica ... à Pucòn
donc le Del Paine ce sera pour une autre fois ! (je plane probablement un Backpack trip de plusieurs mois en Amérique du sud et la Patagonie est un gros morceau de ce trip ...
pour ce qui est du W en 3,5 jours ... vous êtes de brutes ! C'est du suicide ! haha
MOAR PHOTO OF YOUR TRIP PLEASE !!!!!! :bigup:

1. That same kid who was riding along to Bolivia in our Land Cruiser
2. Abandoned Bolivian train next to Uyuni
3. Tourists riding on top of their truck in the salar
4. Kid walking by when I was shooting with the 17ts-e
5. Old car rotting out in a small Bolivian village
6. Flaminco taking off
7. Rock formation that is sandblasted from the high wind, close to the highest point I've been in my life: 5000m!!
8. Another part of the Bolivian desert where we stayed over for the night. Also where I captured the milky way shot.
9. Glacier Grey, Torres Del Paine
10. Same river as on the rainbow shot but the other view.
11. The long trail to the Torres summit, you can also see the refuge on the right hand side.
12. Santiago airport with the pink Andes mountain in the back at sunset.
13. Teenage mom and her little boy walking in the field, the boy suffered a severe burn on his arm.
14. GF posing (lol) with our horses when we visited the Attacama Desert in San Pedro.
Thanks again for all the comments, rep and all.
I really didn't expect this!

I did the best I could but it's a very very hard lens to use and I bought it less than 1 month before my trip..
With this lens you have to shoot in manual setting and your lightmeter doesn't work! It's also manual focus so it's like shooting with a camera from 1950. lol

Amazing!
Sick shots as always.. That pick of the stars and sand dune makes my head spin, still have no idea how you did that. All in all, too many to comment on.. Serious skills indeed :clap:

yes, it's a real PITA to carry around 15k$ in equipment wherever you go.. Also, when doing the trekking, I was carrying a 15+kg backpack + my camera bag that was close to 10kg.. I almost died.
