Absolute great vid with great pics. Three days after turning 14, the Great State of Texas decided to grant me a full driver's license. The very next day, I grabbed two wool blankets, a percolator coffee pot, some canned beans and chili and head off to Big Bend NP. 54 years later, I'm still going there, just a bit less hiking. My greatest memory was a 22 day hike along the River Road from W to E after returning home from my second combat deployment. Back then, you could weave in and out of Mexico and enjoy the great food and fun the river villages had to offer. Our kids have explicit instruction on where to park my ashes after my demise, which is down in the park. And...54 years later I'm still using the same 7-cup percolator to make coffee in!
I feel like I can taste the colors, I don’t know how to explain it. Sonys images are my absolute favorite now and I had never even considered them before, always been a canon person. Very well done video, too cool!
I have never been the same since I’ve spent a few weeks in the big bend. After attending a funeral of a childhood friend in Terrilingu we spent a month hiking, meeting new friends and enjoying the total vibe. It is special place in my heart…
We got married in Maria on a mountainside we randomly stumbled upon 30 mins outside of the city. This part of Texas is pure magic, thank you for documenting your trip.
Thank you for inspiring me to pickup the camera seriously again and resume making content on yt. After a year break your videos are a breath of fresh air for me creatively.
My favorite video from the channel so far. It feels like there’s a production team working behind the scenes. Love all of it… video, photos, astro, drone, editing, music selection and the story. The skills are really coming together here. Not sure if you’re looking to be a Sony Ambassador but this will no doubt be getting some attention. Nice work Sam (and team?) I search for great videos like this but they are rare so I find myself coming back to watch the older posts and rewatch the gems like this.
This is a huge compliment, thank you! No production team, just me nerding-out at the scenery in this remarkable place. I’ll try to keep improving on the production quality and plan to do something similar to this on some of the bigger remote trips like this 😀 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, it makes this a lot more fun!
Wow, thanks for sharing your experience! One of these days I gotta get out there to see the rock formations and experience those extraordinarily dark nights. (also, I enjoyed the way you put the video together -- the colors, shots and editing -- very nice!)
So happy i decided to wander through YT to nerd out on photography videos--I love your page & experience. Thank you for all your hard work, expertise and sharing it with us
Love the video! Amazing photos. I'm fairly certain that Glacier national park also has an international border in it as they used to have a ferry that took you to Canada and back inside the park.
Thanks for watching and for the comment! You’re dead right, Glacier-Waterton definitely does and there are a few other big parks like Voyageurs, Isle Royale, Glacier Bay and Wrangell-St. Elias… probably still missing some. Then there are quite a few monuments and lesser known parks. Not sure where I got confused on that one along the way but was way off 😂
Awesome production. I like the style you used of showing us the place and your trip and breaking away to talking head to explain it. Great stuff. Beautiful scenery! I'm glad your trip rocked 😉
Great work - Big Bend has been on my list for a while, especially for the dark skies. Really appreciate all the commentary on the accessibility and uniqueness of each location!
Love it there! Next time you go make reservations for Chisos Basin for a night or two, try #49 or #50. It’s awesome stargazing in a mountain basin cupped and surrounded by the peaks. The Window Trail is right there too, it’s great.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’m on it! That was the original plan but I was a bit late booking… Chisos Basin didn’t have any openings. Thanks for watching 😀
Thanks for watching! You’ll have to make it happen, remote West Texas is certainly a unique experience… I’m impressed the little video in Texas is getting viewers all the way from the UK!
I’d say about 80%, there are a few shots on the drone, and a few on the A7SIII. Generally though, the shots between the two Sony cameras are interchangeable!
Thank you so much for your answer! I actually settled on the A7siii after watching your video on the A7RV. You’ve really helped my decision and I am very grateful. Cheers!
okay okay first of all - amazing pace and great looking shots. Voice over is soothing but not overly asmr :)) How did you get the shot in the car from the back seat? was the camera on a tripod or it was another type of grip? have been dreaming for this exact type of shot - although on much curvier roads..
