Thanks very much Ben, I’m enjoying putting together the b-roll footage and drone shots to add a little more context to the story. So I’m glad you’re enjoying it! The Music ties it all together, cheers mate!
Another great video Andrew - love the collaboration :-) As always beautifully shot and some gorgeous images - the subtle hues are fantastic. Cheers, Ian
Thanks so much, sand dunes have quickly become one of my favourite subjects to shoot, the simplicity and contrast of harsh and soft details are quite unique and I also love ’s’ curves. Do you know if there are any sand dunes close to where you live?
Unfortunately not (as I live in New York). I think the closest sand dunes are in the US Southwest, a place I'd love to visit regardless (to see Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, etc.).
Hi Andrew. The cover photo really drew me in. I love shooting dunes (Death Valley) and it was great to see your vlog. Some lovely captures. I have subscribed and look forward to catching up on some of your other videos.
Hi Graeme, I always appreciate it when someone lets me know how they found my video, it helps me work out what’s working. Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing. Until recently I hadn’t shot many sand dunes, but I now love them as a landscape subject. I hope to one day get over to Death Valley to shoot some landscapes, from what I’ve seen it’s an amazing location. All the best and I hope you enjoy some of my other photography adventure vlogs!
Cheers Philip, I think the sand dunes make great subject form minimalist shots, as you can focus on textures. I think your right the smoke did add a little interest in the sky.
Great vlog Andrew, the images are stunning. Nothing like sand to portray shape and texture as central themes in a minimalist image. I'd like to see some of the astrophotos from the evening?
Another great video story from you Andrew i love it, especially the intro how you mixed the footage with the music. I can't wait till your next video. Keep doing so great job ;)
Thank you Dimitar, I’m so pleased you enjoyed the intro and the music that went along with it. I’m working on the next video as we speak, there’s less b-roll in the next one as it was so dark.
Looks a bit like Death Valley. :-) I really like how you were able to shoot the dunes with that final glow after sunset. That is some really sweet light. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hey Ben, even though I’ve never been to Death Valley, it does seem a little like Death Valley. Perhaps this is good training so I’m used to this sort of landscape if I ever visit Death Valley!
Thanks Greg, the sand dunes were the perfect place to get the drone in the air for that unique perspective. I could have flown it all day, glad you enjoy the footage. The second for me really capture the warm colours on offer that afternoon, cheers mate!
Thank you so much!!! That's the first time my videos have been described that way and it's lovely to hear you think so highly of them. Glad they're helpful too! 👍
Thanks Tony, glad you find my description helpful. I try and mention not just the setting but why I choose those settings, Really appreciate you leaving a comment, cheers! :)
Thanks Paul, it quite a unique location and I’ve realised it takes a little getting used to. The images I walk away with a very different to other landscapes I capture.
Thank you Andrew. I live in Alkimos, really enjoy your channel. Never realised the there was so much photographic beauty so close to me. Thx for the inspiration😁
Alkimos...that's just south of Cervantes, haha! These are just at your doorstep. The closest sand dunes are Lancelin (I've done a video about these) if you travel a little further north you pass other sand dunes on your left and right, some are easy to access others a little harder but all of them much quieter than the Lancelin dunes! :)
Intersting place, Andrew. We saw pleny of the white sand around Cervantes, it reminded us of the White Sands NP in New Mexico. It must be dunes week - as well as Richard's take on your trip, Steve Mattheis has just done a UA-cam vid on some dunes in Idaho. Looking forward to seeing some of the astro-photography. The second image got my vote this time! Cheers.
Thanks Brian, I imagine you would have seen and driven pass these sand dunes on your way up. I’ll have to check out Steve’s video. I’m busy working on the astrophotography vlog now so hopefully, it’ll be up next week.
For me, sand dunes is one of the hardest things to shoot. I am going to Death Valley in Dec, and hopefully it will be better this time around. Great vid.
Thanks Candice, I must admit it has taken me a few visits to work out what I’m looking for and how to find an interesting shot. I suppose that’s the benefit of returning to a location. All the best for your Death Valley trip, I hope it’s successful for you!
Sunday morning,Andrew Marr a nice hot cuppa,life is good. Nicely done Andrew,the expanse Of W.A. is well presented here, a smorgasbord of opportunity to photograph some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world and you do it like the master you are. Cheers.
David, I always look forward to reading your comment mate. Thanks so much! I glad you're enjoying the scenery WA has to offer, I love getting your feedback! 👍
Lovely video Andrew with a nice relaxed mood. The dunes look amazing and seemed like less wind than last time. The images you took were beautiful, especially the shot with the pink hues and I hope we get to see the next stage of the adventure.
Thanks Adam, it was a great day, we both enjoyed it! While there was a little wind, I was still able to get the drone up early. Even without the cloud, we were lucky enough to get some colour that provided a nice backdrop. Hopefully, the astrophotography will come out next week!
Cheers Jullian, this a quite a unique landscape isn’t it and how it just appears in the middle of the bush is very weird when you see it for the first. Thanks for your feedback mate!
Great video and awesome drone footage Andrew. Beautiful images aswell..I always enjoy your videos but I really enjoyed this with you and Richard. I'm a subscriber of Richard..his videos are awesome and aswell as his images. Great stuff!
I know we have some beautiful places in the UK but I wish we had a location like this Andrew. Would be great to shoot such pure clean images as yours. Really enjoyed this as always, thank you
really nice to see your photography maturing beyond slow motion waves on rocks. this is beautiful work. as was your Iceland stuff. hope you get to travel more and continue developing :)
Thanks very much, I’m always looking for ways to broaden the variety of landscapes I capture, although I’m not going to be able to get far away from seascapes, they are a prominent part of the Australian landscape. While I know they aren’t for everyone, I’d argue they are technically more challenging than many other landscape styles. I’d love to travel more and I think you’re right, it would help in expanding the range of landscapes I capture, I hope this channel will help me fulfil that dream, thanks again!
Mate. Awesome. Loved it :) What a great day it was and you captured it perfectly! :) Your images are a great representation of the simple beauty of the place... and your video work top notch as always. Drone shots definitely took it to another level. 👍👍
Lovely images Andrew... Glad to see you return to this locale again. As the sun was setting, the images were becoming more dynamic as you slightly decreased the shutter speeds as well as a slightly smaller aperture setting on the later shots... Great stuff... Bill Farr... :-)
Thanks for that Bill, you make an interesting observation. The light changed a fair bit during a short period of time and with it the contrast across the landscape. Subtle changes in the light and camera setting resulted in some very different images.
Hi Andrew. An interesting setting. It reminded me a bit of when you were in Iceland & that sense of being overwhelmed by the vastness and complexity of composing an image. For me its about having a good eye for cropping an image. For me the first image didn't quite work. However the second image with the 24-70mm worked really well. Love the texture in the dunes. Kindest Regards, Robert
Thanks Robert I think you're right. In situations like this it helps to be able to find the simple compositions and remove the clutter, by cropping out what doesn't work an focusing on what does, cheers!
Nice! Those dunes didn't look too bad after all. Shame I wasn't able to make it. Last time we drove past them the wind was ripping over the tops, so looks like you're lucky in that regard! I couldn't work out why I was getting so many YT notifications.... talk about an awesome plug! Cheers mate. Currently scrambling over rocks in Karijini NP. If you haven't been, make it your next destination. This place is like Zion NP!
Cheers Andrew (and Haylie), we had a great day, shame you weren't able to make it! We had great weather, a little too good it would have been nice to get a few clouds but I shouldn't complain. Great to hear the YT notifications are coming through, I'm hoping this will tip you over 1000 subs. Karijini is one of my favourite places in the world. I lived up there, in the Pilbara, for over 8 years. I've photographed there, but not yet captured a video. If not this year hopefully, next year, cheers mate!
Of course! I forgot you're a Pilbara local. Karijini is unreal. Unfortunately we are here on the long weekend.... so currently hanging around waiting for the crowds to die down but were lucky enough to have Hamersley Gorge to ourselves yesterday evening. Subs went way over 1K. I ended up making a video to welcome all the new minions.... together, we will take over the world!!!! I would love to see your take on Karijini!
For some reason UA-cam hasn’t been giving me notifications from your channel, it’s happened with quite a few of the channels I watch. What a video for me to catch up with you again, absolutely stunning images and I’d be happy to see any of them on my wall. Great video, absolutely brilliant.
Hi Mark, I had noticed you weren’t around. I was missing some banter about the upcoming cricket happening over in England. A new captain, new openers, it’ll be an interesting tour for us. It’s frustrating how UA-cam handles notifications, if you miss a video I think UA-cam assumes you’re no longer interested so stops hassling you about that channel. Glad you enjoyed this one mate!
I don’t think I would have given you any banter over your South Africa tour. I genuinely felt for you and the passionate Aussies, it seems incredulous to me that any team could treat its own supporters in such a way and cricket certainly was the loser. No sports supporter wants to hear of dubious behaviour from its players and Bancroft's schoolboy behaviour was cringeworthy. I felt the same with Atherton's soil, I’m still embarrassed by the Bodyline Series and my late father was only 3-4 years old then. I fear we’ve made exactly the same mistake we’ve made numerous times in the past, made our best player the captain. Root isn’t a leader, he should have been left to concentrate on his own game which has gone to pot since he was made the captain. With both analogue and digital photography as well as some wildlife I subscribe to quite a few channels, I wondered if it could be that. But I only have a few with the bell clicked, your channel being one of them.
I agree Mark, the whole ordeal left me feeling very empty. I also agree with your comments about Root, he was clearly England’s best batsman and was capable of destroying bowling attacks, and taking a game away from the opposition. I also think that the other England batsman played better when Root was in form, he took the pressure off them. The only difference with Smith was his batting actually improved after he became captain, averaging 56.1 before and getting as high as 63.7 after being given the top job. However, he doesn’t have the maturity to lead and therefore doesn’t make a good captain.
Andrew what’s the opening song?. I love your channel I watch everything you and Nigel Danson put out. I have also begun watching Richard he’s going to go places as will you I believe. Much love to you from cairns dreaming of WA. ❤️
Beautiful dunes Andrew, and you got some pastel light to go with them. Next time I am in Perth, I'll check them out. Is the D850 much better than the D800? I still have my D800E, bidding my time on updating.
Thanks Tim, I completely agree with you. While I was standing there I wasn't sure how the smoke was going to turn out but your right, it does add a nice interest to the sky.
Looks like you have a new location to go back to some time again in the future Andrew. Loved your last vlog from the dunes and this one compliments its well. I see you took the images on the D800 and was wondering how you are getting on with the D850
Cheers Jim, we are definitely taking advantage of the reduced wind and cooler temperatures this time of year to get up to the dunes. The D850 is coming along nicely, I haven't had a chance to take it out on any trips yet hopefully soon. I'm hoping to vlog my first trip out with it. This video was shot a week before I decided to get buy the D850 otherwise, I would have brought it with me.
Loved them images mate! Looks a crackin place! Would you say a polariser would help with the textures in that light? I’m wondering if it would cost you the contrast or enhance it 😊👍🏻
Cheers Gareth, it was a wonderful location. I throw a CPL filter on but didn’t notice any significant improvement, so decided to take it off in fear of negatively impacting the sky with an uneven effect, cheers buddy!
Thanks very much, Asimesh, that's a very good question. We did have to be careful. We tried to look ahead to where we wanted to go and planned how we were going to get there. No very difficult just something we needed to consider.
I was running up and down those dunes about a month ago. We had broken clouds, so I got a few peaks hit by the sun. There are more around Jurien Bay, contact the Jurien Bay Camera Club for details.
I don’t think I’ve been up there when there have been clouds. I’ve always had to deal with clear skies. I’ll check out the Jurien Bay Camera Club, thanks for the tip!
Andrew Marr There's also Stockyard Gully. My eye told me there was a curtain across the front, even though I could push my hand in and feel nothing, and see people come out, so I didn't go in.
Andrew that shot of the sand dune with the pink sky is truly beautiful. Good to see you out with the Nikon again. Were you not tempted to shot the dead twigs/bush with the sand dune behind - kinda like the shots you see from Namibia?
Hi Steve, I think that was my favourite shot! I did keep my eye out for that type of shot but there weren't really any trees impressive enough, perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough! :)
great picture, but if you were staying after dark surely you would have been able to get the Milky way in as well. You are supposed to get better views of it in the southern hemisphere than we get in the north, especially with the clear skies you had.
I love the simplicity of the dunes in your photos, Andrew. Outstanding!!!
Wow, the dunes look just amazing. An absolutely fabulous location. Great images.
Thanks Marcel, it was incredible and as the light changed there were plenty of landscape opportunities. I’ll definitely be returning again.
I really enjoy your cinematography. Your choice of music matched with those beautiful drone shots are really nice
Thanks very much Ben, I’m enjoying putting together the b-roll footage and drone shots to add a little more context to the story. So I’m glad you’re enjoying it! The Music ties it all together, cheers mate!
Great pics Andrew. Quite a riveting video. Yes, after the dog, F8 is man's best friend.
Cheers Behram, glad you enjoyed this one! Like a friend, you can always rely on F8! :)
great stuff as always Andrew.. the one with the S curve on the dune and the beautiful pastel colour sky is just gorgeous..thanks for sharing..
Thank you Savantan, I love a good ’S’ curve particularly in the sand dunes, it catches the eye and provides good interest.
I really like those delicate colours. Nice job Andrew.
Hey Andrew. Great video with awesome pictures! Congratulations....! 👍
Thanks very much MrFrankie, glad you enjoyed these! 👍
Great video, love the finished product and the attention to details in the b-rolls
Cheers Mark, I’m enjoying putting the B-roll together, hopefully, it adds to the story and provides a little more context!
Another great video Andrew - love the collaboration :-)
As always beautifully shot and some gorgeous images - the subtle hues are fantastic.
Cheers, Ian
Thanks very much Ian, we had a lot of fun. It's a great place for the minimalist image and the colours really helped, cheers mate!
Enjoyed your video Andrew. I have also watched and enjoyed Richards channel.
Thanks Jim, I love the video Richard created that told a different story. Glad you enjoyed them mate! :)
Another lovely video Andrew. I especially loved the s-curve photo at around the 10m30s mark. Photographing sand dunes is high up on my bucket list!
Thanks so much, sand dunes have quickly become one of my favourite subjects to shoot, the simplicity and contrast of harsh and soft details are quite unique and I also love ’s’ curves. Do you know if there are any sand dunes close to where you live?
Unfortunately not (as I live in New York). I think the closest sand dunes are in the US Southwest, a place I'd love to visit regardless (to see Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, etc.).
Lov'n the pastel colours in the 2nd shot. Looking forward to the next vid Andrew.
Cheers Paul, I also thought the second shot had some nice warm, soft colours. Working on the next video as we speak! :)
Hi Andrew. The cover photo really drew me in. I love shooting dunes (Death Valley) and it was great to see your vlog. Some lovely captures. I have subscribed and look forward to catching up on some of your other videos.

Cheers Philip, I think the sand dunes make great subject form minimalist shots, as you can focus on textures. I think your right the smoke did add a little interest in the sky.
Awesome captures with those beautiful pastel colours.
Cheers Ross, I think the textures and the subtle colours really made these images, thanks! 👍
Great vlog Andrew, the images are stunning. Nothing like sand to portray shape and texture as central themes in a minimalist image. I'd like to see some of the astrophotos from the evening?
Hi Kevin, thanks for that. Stay tuned, the astrophotography is hopefully coming up in a video next week! :)
Great video. Your final image was superb.
Thanks Mark, the last shot I think had the most contrast, both in light and colour, so pleased you liked it!
Freaking STUNNING images!!!!!! Just WOW!
Thanks for that Andy, appreciate it! 👍
Another great video story from you Andrew i love it, especially the intro how you mixed the footage with the music. I can't wait till your next video. Keep doing so great job ;)
Thank you Dimitar, I’m so pleased you enjoyed the intro and the music that went along with it. I’m working on the next video as we speak, there’s less b-roll in the next one as it was so dark.
With or without broll, I wait for it! 😊

Thank you so much!!! That's the first time my videos have been described that way and it's lovely to hear you think so highly of them. Glad they're helpful too! 👍
Nice video Andrew, what an amazing place. I liked your compositions and the colours in the sky were so nice, well done.
Thanks for that Wayne, it was a wonderful little spot and one I hope to return to soon, cheers!
What a lovely spot, thanks for showing us around Andrew!
Hi Adam, thanks for dropping by mate. My please and all the best!
Fascinating video, Andrew. Love the way you describe your camera settings and thought processes. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks Tony, glad you find my description helpful. I try and mention not just the setting but why I choose those settings, Really appreciate you leaving a comment, cheers! :)
Great video and those dunes are beautiful. Some lovely images you managed there
Thanks Ralph, glad you enjoyed this mate. The dunes make a great subject.
Nice one, the drone shots made some great abstracts.
Thanks for that, I thought the drone would provide some nice footage, but I was blown away at those abstract scenes. 👍
great eyes see alike !!. Looking forward to the next vlog.
What a beautiful location for an excellent adventure Andrew. Your images were beautiful :)
Thanks Paul, it quite a unique location and I’ve realised it takes a little getting used to. The images I walk away with a very different to other landscapes I capture.

Sunday morning,Andrew Marr a nice hot cuppa,life is good.
Nicely done Andrew,the expanse Of W.A. is well presented here, a smorgasbord of opportunity to photograph some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world and you do it like the master you are.
Cheers.
David, I always look forward to reading your comment mate. Thanks so much! I glad you're enjoying the scenery WA has to offer, I love getting your feedback! 👍

Nice location and shots, Andrew!
Thanks very much Ankur!
Beautiful images. I would have loved to see one with those brown sparse bushes in the foreground. Leslie
Thanks Leslie, I kept my eye out for that sort of shot but nothing popped out at me. A good excuse to go up there again! :)
Lovely work Andrew, it’s always amazing to see how much impact a simple composition can have.
Thanks for that Trevor. You're right, I'm often blown away by the impact a simple composition can have.
Wow mate, just wow. What an amazing location with some quality images. Thanks for sharing! (Oh, loved the panorama!)
Cheers Jullian, this a quite a unique landscape isn’t it and how it just appears in the middle of the bush is very weird when you see it for the first. Thanks for your feedback mate!

Thanks for that Paul, I love Richard's videos, they tell a great story. Appreciate you supporting both our channels mate! 👍
You have upped your game with the B roll nice subtle sound effects and transitions, and of course the images are awesome as usual 👏👏👏
Thanks so much, Paul for appreciating the little details mate. So pleased you enjoyed it mate! 👍
I know we have some beautiful places in the UK but I wish we had a location like this Andrew. Would be great to shoot such pure clean images as yours. Really enjoyed this as always, thank you
Great stuff! Those images are looking nice! Cheers!
Cheers mate, thanks for sharing your feedback! :)
Those images are breathtaking! The sky looks like a watercolour painting. Amazing as always :D
That's actually a nice way of describing it, the sky was very painterly...thank you Marina!
Great production quality, Andrew. Each new video takes a step up. Well done.
Thanks Stephen, I'm really enjoying the video side of things. I learn so much with each one I put together. Thanks for your encouragement mate! 👍
really nice to see your photography maturing beyond slow motion waves on rocks. this is beautiful work. as was your Iceland stuff. hope you get to travel more and continue developing :)

You should visit the Oceano San Dunes. Beautiful!!
Mate. Awesome. Loved it :) What a great day it was and you captured it perfectly! :) Your images are a great representation of the simple beauty of the place... and your video work top notch as always. Drone shots definitely took it to another level. 👍👍
It was a great day mate. Glad you enjoyed the trip up, I certainly had a good time, cheers! 👍

Nice one Andrew. Simplicity is sometimes more. Personally, I think the smoke added to the images, but that's just my opinion
Thanks Tim, I completely agree with you. While I was standing there I wasn't sure how the smoke was going to turn out but your right, it does add a nice interest to the sky.

Cheers Gareth, it was a wonderful location. I throw a CPL filter on but didn’t notice any significant improvement, so decided to take it off in fear of negatively impacting the sky with an uneven effect, cheers buddy!
So nice ,Andrew !
Wonderful !
How do you manage not to leave footprints behind a potential composition in the desert?
That's the most difficult part..
Thanks very much, Asimesh, that's a very good question. We did have to be careful. We tried to look ahead to where we wanted to go and planned how we were going to get there. No very difficult just something we needed to consider.
Andrew Marr , Thank you for the feedback..
Love to watch the content in your videos
I was running up and down those dunes about a month ago. We had broken clouds, so I got a few peaks hit by the sun.
There are more around Jurien Bay, contact the Jurien Bay Camera Club for details.
I don’t think I’ve been up there when there have been clouds. I’ve always had to deal with clear skies. I’ll check out the Jurien Bay Camera Club, thanks for the tip!
Andrew Marr There's also Stockyard Gully.
My eye told me there was a curtain across the front, even though I could push my hand in and feel nothing, and see people come out, so I didn't go in.
Andrew that shot of the sand dune with the pink sky is truly beautiful. Good to see you out with the Nikon again. Were you not tempted to shot the dead twigs/bush with the sand dune behind - kinda like the shots you see from Namibia?
Hi Steve, I think that was my favourite shot! I did keep my eye out for that type of shot but there weren't really any trees impressive enough, perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough! :)
just wondered about getting down low with the dead bush/twig would have made the dune big in the background. There is always another day!
great picture, but if you were staying after dark surely you would have been able to get the Milky way in as well. You are supposed to get better views of it in the southern hemisphere than we get in the north, especially with the clear skies you had.
Stay tuned Ian, that was just part one. I'm putting together the next video with the astrophotography ready for next week! 👍
Why not focus 1/3 in? They are all great shots.
No need, I don't have anything close to the camera in the foreground, cheers!👍
Zohar is your approach to setting your white balance?
Great video Andrew, please can you share the exact location?
Hi Eli, search for this in Google maps - 4PXQ84XP+W5 that's where I parked the car and we walked across the road to the sand dunes.
Great, many thanks, much appreciated.
Good video I found sand dunes at San Diego Yuma I 8
