How far do you think is acceptable to bend rules in order to make really good photos? Visit: www.squarespac... Join a Photo Tour: www.brendansad... Featuring @gregorsnell
Brendan, of course you're going to bend the rules and boy am I glad you did (and didn't fall into the falls) lol. Thank you for that :) Beautiful shots!
Brendan , wonderful video and captures my friend!! Such Amazing light we had on a lot of the trip. I had so many excuses for getting paper towels to wash the vans windows because the attendant was watching me lol, but happy to do it for us all. When we stayed back with Greg now I can see what I missed when you guys went ahead . Super video Brendan and thanks for sharing some awesome memories!! 👍👍
Absolutely excellent video. All of them actually. What date was this video taken? I am planning a trip there in 2026. Since the weather is unpredictable, this video shows fantastic weather
When Greg asked you what time it is at the beginning, I actually said "Tool Time" out loud not knowing that you were about to say that too, lol! Those are some impressive waterfalls, and it's even better when you don't have to worry about wearing a lot of heavy coats either!
I went to Iceland for the first time in 2007 and I have been there 3 other times since then. Every time I return, the difference is massive. More ropes, more view platforms, more walkways, more paid parking lots, restrictions all over the place. They're probably needed, due to the amount of visitors Iceland has these days. The country remains amazingly beautiful but the visit experience is not even close to what it used to be. You could walk to the waterfalls and stand under them if you wanted to. There were no paid parking lots everywhere. Heck, in a lot of places there were no parking lots. As an example, that famous crashed airplane...when I went there, I drove there and stop the car right beside the airplane. Now you need a long walk to get there. I'm sure the next time I visit, I'll find even more restrictions.
Dettifoss in Summer 2021, no ropes, sat right on the edge, well one rock back 😉 such an impressive sight. Would never dream of breaking rules or stepping over ropes if it meant you were trampling flora but sometimes to get a unique angle you have to providing you do it safely and with respect, no picture is ever worth your life. The access you are afforded in Iceland to so many incredible locations makes it a photographers heaven, just don’t end up going there 👍
Reykjafoss looks a lot like Gulfoss, but without the throngs of tourists. Do you always use an ND filter for slow-shutter waterfall shots? What do you use? (something expensive, I'm sure - mine result in a purple cast to the image so I don't like using them).
It's very similar looking, but about 10x smaller. Not always. I use an ND when needed. And, the more expensive ones don't have colour cast. The Nisi ones are great.
How do we join you on your photography trips? I’ve been wanting to do a photography trip for sometime now and have been watching your RU-vid channel and everything I’ve seen you do I’ve been inspired by so it would be awesome to get out on one of these trips with a bunch of crazy photographers.
I wonder how many days a year you spend in the northern latitudes? Subtropics and even more tropics for you as if there is no such thing))) It remains for you to get acquainted with the north of Russia. Karelia, the outskirts of Murmansk, Vologda, Arkhangelsk, the circumpolar Urals, Lena Pillars and much more.
How many tripods did you sell from that clip of you getting stuck? I purchased one specifically because of that myself ha. Also can be used to retrieve things your girlfriend drops out of her purse into a storm drain. But that's not quite as catchy to put on the packaging 🤣
@@BrendanvanSon I was in our local camera shop when he walked in. Right away the store owner introduced us because he we were both on one of your trips . He had amazing reviews of the trip.
