- I struggled through some landscape photography in Australia on today's vlog. I think I saved it with a selfie of all things.

On today's photo vlog, I headed to Lancelin for some landscape photography at the white sand dunes. Arriving in the dark, and never having scouted the location, I struggled to find a good composition. I really struggled to show the scale of the dunes. So, I tried to safe it with a selfie.
So often in landscape photography if you're looking to add scale, putting a person in the frame can really help. Yeah, a bit of a selfie from Australia.

OMG !!! It's me !!!!!!!! My name prononced on BVS channel !!!
I just need to find an adaptater ring for my lenses (smaller) but anyway.
Don't tell anyone, but Friday, i pre-ordered your calendar
gratz maxence hope you have fun with the filters well done
Congratulations Maxence
Maxence Lemoine congrats and enjoy your NiSi filters. FYI while the filter holder ring is 82mm, the holder set comes with step-up adapters to fit 67mm, 72mm and 77mm lenses. So it should fit most lenses you have for a FF or APS-C body.
Congrats!
@@JohnDrummondPhoto my lenses have a 55mm diameter (but, i found the adapter ring on the nisi website, so, perfect ! :) )
There's always someone who wants to be negative, thumbs down shouldn't be allowed. Loved the sandy shots.
The skies looked perfect for that sunrise! Self portraits can definitely add to a photo. I've done that a couple times in the past several months to add a little flavor to the photo! The photos turned out well!
Brendan, I love following your video blogs. As a Perth local it was interesting to see your take on the Crawley boat house and Lancelin sand dunes. If you are ever in Perth you should try some of the sunsets over the water in several locations around Perth. there are some interesting rock formations that make for a great shot.
Long Exposure Selfie Master!!!!! cool vid!
Thanks Andrew
nice photos, just across the ditch is New Zealand, getting closer to coming here soon I hope, Would love to meet you some day, and show you around the South Island. Love watching your videos.
Hey awesome work mate, they are a challenging subject to shoot at the best of times but to get there in the dark having never been there before, amazing buddy. So disappointed I couldn't make it. If you get down here again, let my know and I'll take you out the experience some fantastic parts of Western Australia, cheers! 👍
That image turned out pretty well!
Looking for something out of place in the sand dunes, Mmmm, would a Canadian do. Hell yes, selfie. Thanks for sharing Brendan.
Hahahaha
How do you make so much mess when I'm not there? 😂😘
It's not a mess, I just like to spread all my stuff out so I can see it all. Haha
Hahahaha
Holy-molly! My hotel rooms are usually cleaner than before check-in. Whenever there's nothing to shoot I can always go macro or BOKEH!
Reminded me of White Sands NM.
"Early O'Clock..." love it. I prefer O'Dark Thirty, but gonna use both now.
Also, 80 Comments and 462 likes... far more in line with the norm... perhaps you shouldn't announce your next giveaway?
Awesome spot isn’t it! Challenging though. There’s some more dunes further north that have much less traffic... I might have even done a cheeky vlog or two myself there 😉 Hope you’re enjoying (enjoyed?) Perth.
That's a tough place to find a photo. More suited to pics of vehicles in the dunes. Try the Pinnacles nest time maybe.
great vlog, New bag?
Nice one man
Sand dunes can be so hard to shoot I hope you enjoy your time down under mate 🤠
Thanks dude. Hope you're well
Cool timing, I'm hitting dunes along Lake Michigan this week. Thanks for the tips!
My pleasure. Enjoy!!
I like the white sand reflection on your face while vlogging. Very cool! Would be nice to take a selfie from the clip.
Lancelin- so glad you went to the white sand Dune!
Was wondering if the dunes were covering a large area and if so would you find the car again with all the other foot prints. A BvS selfie always saves the day👍
They are a pretty small area. And I marked the car on the map. Easy!
Of course losing the car would have made a great video. 🐼🤣🧟♂️
I had a similar problem in White Sands, NM. You did well.
What an opportunity to stretch your creativity muscle. I just went to a local area that had no photo appeal and had to switch to nature Photography. Fail except for some cool Dragonfly pics. One trip one good photo. I'm happy with that.
🐼✌️👍🏽🧟♂️
Yup! 1 photo a trip is always a good thing!

I'm just like "man I hope he got a slow mo shot of how much sand is in his shoes" 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
I see you testing out the NiSi filters. You use ND's a lot. Have you tried the Canon RF adapter with the variable ND filter? It goes from 1.5 to 9 stops (via a wheel). And because it's an adapter, you'd never have to change it out. I think it would simply/ease your work flow in that you can just focus on your NiSi grads. I can't attest to the quality as i don't own one.
I haven't tested it. Frankly, I was scared away by the terrible reviews it's getting. And, I'm getting rf lenses soon.
Shame too, as it looked like an awesome solution
@@BrendanvanSon Well, all I can say about "terrible reviews" is that, if I believed them, I wouldn't own an RP (like you)--which I think is great. The only true way to know (just about anything) is through personal experience, but @ $399.00...that's not a cheap, "roll of the dice." I think your images with RF lenses will be amazing!
Another day, another selfie in some far off corner of the planet. Oh well. 😉 Rock on!
Hahaha, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do!
Great video (as always). It looks like your tripod is once again fully functional. Were you able to get it repaired or did you have to replace it?
PS. I hope Jodie is doing well.
Sometimes it's more about enjoying the moment than walking away with an image anyway. At least IMO
you went to the wrong dunes man the true white ones are further north up the road an no cars can get to them you walk in
Dammit! Where were you when I needed you
Have you changed your bag again?
Answer coming Oct 15
@@BrendanvanSon looks cool. I like many aspects what I saw in this video...
Logo on that bag seems to be Shimoda but I think you got early to use new one, because can't find same bag on their category yet ;) Detective work going on :D
How *do* you make so much mess in a hotel room? It's not like you travel with much stuff! 😊
Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to. Haha
This place is great when the wind has blown and the patterns are perfect! Go to Michael Goh’s - Astrophotobear - account - he should have some pics from there. His Astro pics from the Pinnacles close by is out of this world!
Yeah, you definitely need wind there. Starts would be epic too
Dang , it’s never ideal to photograph a new place where you dune-n’t know what your doing, nice job 👍
Your pun game is on point. Haha
I was wondering if we could get an f/8-f/11 when you’re filming in hotel rooms...
hahaha, never!!
You'll get better light at sunset plus you won't need to get up so early.
Haven’t been first to view for a while. People must be sleeping !!
TwoHandUke I haven’t been early for at least a year I think lol
Haha here's 576433 points
It's 630am here in California on a Sunday. No way I'll ever be up early enough to be first. No points for Panda. 🐼😁🧟♂️
Just a heads up, comment replies notifications get lost amongst the sea of video uploaded notifications now. If anyone replies to a comment of mine and I don't see it within a day It's lost.
Second! Haven’t been this early in about a year lol
I knew you wouldn’t pick me.
Haha, don't blame me. Blame the computers!
@@BrendanvanSon sure, blame the computer that can't defend itself. 😎
Hi Brendan, did you receive my last text ? :)
Hey congrats to the lucky winner.
