Chasing the Light in Travel Photography

- they say that photography is the art of capturing light. But, in travel photography light is something you can't control. You need to work with what the world gives you.

On this episode of the photography vlog, I wanted to look at the idea of light and what it means to a travel photographer. In photography, you always hear people saying that the light - above all else - is the most important. And while that's true, when we travel for our photography it's not always possible. Light is something that we are at the whims of. In travel photography, we need to work with whatever light we have.
Today was a great example. We got beautiful controlled light in the ghost town this morning. But then as we drove throughout Namibia to Sossusvlei we found ourselves in challenging and harsh light because of the fact that the park's gates close at sunset.
Still we worked with the light and managed to get a really great series of photographs here in Namibia today.
And tomorrow, there's more photography adventure on the vlog. So stay tuned.

Thanks Roger! I really appreciate that.
Question... Do you see the merch under the videos? I'm told only people from the US do right now.
Such a cool place!
Who is the perp who parked his car right in front of dune 45?
Sadly, they've moved the parking lot so it's right in front of the classic shot
Love the "Cracked Filter" On The Tee-Shirt! LOL!!!!
The crack is so important. Haha
Cool ghost town awesome light to work with. Seems like if you travel a lot you get a surprise in accommodations every now and then. Life’s to short you just gotta adjust and find the positive in it. Well done and thanks for sharing.
light is so important! man that house looks amazing!
thanks for sharing all this beautiful content with us!
really enjoyed watching this
Actually this comment that you posted was the only place that I've seen a link to the merchandise so far..
Love the John Wayne in the doorway with stairs going up
When I grow up I want to be John Wayne, but not as mean.
It so interesting how ghosts are always around the howling wind.
Hey Brendan, great video as always.. I was hoping you'd touch on the history of the ghost town.
I agree. I like learning the background of unique locations, like how the Devil's Playground was formed, and what happened to these ghost settlements.
I love the world of photography I love Namibia very much
Two of my favourite things: Namibia and making photos.
"This is future me, totally chill, explaining what happened at the dunes. We now return to still-somewhat-pissed-off past me. Sorry." 😄😂
And yes, your photography is getting really good. 👍🏾
Hahaha, exactly.
I'll bet your group is happy with the locations you have chosen to take them to. Such a wide variety of subjects! It also makes for a really interesting Vlog!
Lots of great places, so I hope they liked it!
I think I remember Thomas Heaton mentioning the issue of staying at the lodge WITHIN in order to have the access advantage...
Yes, exactly.
you're running low on battery Brandon. Living on the edge. love the last two images!
I like to live on the wild side of the camera battery, haha.
God I miss Namibia
Nice! You take such awesome photos!
Thanks!!
“The difference between taking a photo and making a photo.” Totally going to use that when pitching clients :D
As long as you quote me. hahaha
Brendan van Son you got a deal! So great to have your permission to name drop :D
In the US please contact the United States Patent and Trademark Office and follow the steps for the trademark registration process hahahahahahaha
John Leon-Guerrero hahaha roger that.
He's Paraphrasing Van Gogh and a few others ..The only difference is that BvS still has his ears
That ghost town is so cool!!! I love the shots you got!
Thanks Ceilih!
In that scene with the bathtub there was some great light just to the right of you. The orange light coming in with the blue light in the other door way.
Yeeeeah!! New adventures coming!! (-:
Thank you Brendan
Thanks Jim!
You might find some "diamonds on the soles of your shoes" ~
I prefer emeralds. haha
Thank you as always 👍🏻 happy Halloween 👻
Happy halloween!
Is it possible to get a any contact to you ??
Email, although i always take a week at least because I kind of get swamped.
Premiere sux dude. Upload the video already. Cant wait
Unfortunately, I think you're in the minority here. I ran polls, questions, etc. Vast majority of people love it for the interaction and community. Moreover, even if I didn't "premiere" the video, it'd be uploaded at the same time. So, there's really no difference. Sorry you don't like the feature . I love it. I wish UA-cam would allow you some sort of notification option where you could choose NOT to be notified of premieres, but only once they're fully live.
