- The Galapagos Islands are a once-in-a-lifetime destination that all photographers will want to visit. In this video I provide lots of super useful information about what to expect on your Galapagos trip. Learn what photographers will want to bring, when to go to the Galapagos and more.
Watch this video and then get psyched up to join my guided Galapagos Photography tour: donmammoserpho...
Thank you!
You are the best photographer and storyteller!
Hi, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos.
Thank you for sharing!! I can't wait to go one day.
Hello SirenNana, You are welcome, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Galapagos sure are a great place to visit. Get in touch with me if you think you can make my April 2024 tour. I have a few spaces still open.
Great video and thanks for sharing the information!
Hi Scott, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time to watch and to comment. I appreciate it.
Hey Don, nice youtube channel.
Thank you for the exact video I was looking for. I will be going with my wife in December on a Celebrity cruise (Xpedition 48 passengers). I plan to bring 2 bodies - Nikon D850 (full frame) w 70-200 f2.8 and a 2x teleconverter (not sure if needed) and a D500 (crop) w 16-80mm. The D850 will be on a Sling strap and since I've never carried 2 bodies I'm still figuring out the D500, probably on a Peak Design Capture on my chest (backpack strap) or another PD sling strap. For underwater I have an Olympus TG-5 but also have a non-Go Pro action camera, which I can use or share with wife or friends. I will have in my bag also a 10-20mm DX to put on the D500 if I choose to use it. Sounds like a good setup? Overkill? Change anything? Suggestions/tips please. Thoughts on use and need for dry bags to transport the gear on the zodiacs? Thank you in advance for any advice. (I'll add, I have a 200-500, but just won't be able to deal with the weight on this trip)
Hi michaelrosenberg6300. Your setup sounds about right and I do think you'll need and use the 2x TC. If it were me, I'd bring the 200-500 and skip the 70-200 and TC. As for the need for the dry bags - I can't say how aware of waves and careful the crew on your boat will be. On the yacht I charter our crew is very diligent to make sure no customer ever gets wet during landings, but I have seen it happen on other boats in rough water. Have fun and thanks for watching.
breathtaking images congratulations, I'm going to the islands shortly, as you said I think it's every photographer's dream. I'll wear these lenses 14-24 24-70 70-200 do you recommend I also wear the 150-600? I don't dive, I only snorkel. What do you recommend for shooting in the water? Where can I find your contacts for Galapagos excursions? A thousand thanks
hi marcod345, I personally think you are bringing too many lenses. I prefer to travel lighter and you won't have a ton of time to change up lenses while walking on the islands. I'd choose the 24-70 for some scenery images and 'animals within the landscape' shots. Plus I'd choose your 150-600mm lens for the wildlife portraits and birds in flight - that's it. We only snorkel on my trips as well, no diving. But the snorkeling is wonderful. For that I use a GoPro Hero 7. Not their latest but the one I happen to own and it works just fine. My tours there are yacht based and I hope yours will be as well, it's the best way to see the outer islands. The yacht I charter for my tours is called "Angelito". The company running and owning it is called "Cometa Travel". They are the BEST! I'd invite you to come on my tour, but I only have 1 space open for a single female traveler. Enjoy your time in those amazing islands!
I find your video somewhat disturbing. I have reported it to the Park. Stay 2m from the animals please.
