Wildlife Photography in The Galapagos Islands: Giant Tortoises and Tiny Hermit Crabs 

"Just laying there in the sand after a long day of fornication..." is not a line I expected to hear on a RU-vid video today. 😅

"I'm not cool, I'm just an ordinary dude".... said every cool dude ever.

Don’t worry about sharing everything you have a life to and should enjoy some time with a camera. Thank you for all those amazing videos, we enjoy them a lot.

You being a normal person is what makes your videos so enjoyable. Sometimes you need to put the camera down and just enjoy the experience. Brilliant photos and I prefer the colour one of the tortoise.

I'm glad that the Galapagos trip went very well. I agree that there are times when it is perfectly OK to not worry about photographing or filming anything to just enjoy the experience.

I am so enjoying this new format of your videos. I was getting very bored of the tedious"what filters, what ISO, what lens, etc."but now I see a photo with all that info and now I can enjoy the "experience" of the journey. You have renewed my interest in your channel. Keep it up Bro.

Again you brought back many memories, thank you. I also found one had to be very adaptable, a lot of things were out of one's control. You on a very strict itinerary, on and off boats, times on the islands very regimented and you are in the animal's environment, you have to be very inventive sometimes because the animals won't stop and pose for you. I also had the experience of fornication, taking photos while on the boat in quite rough conditions, one moment the turtles were on one side of boat, had to run to the other side to catch the female ending the encounter, have some great photos, not all if any in focus but a experience I will always remember.

Great episodes Brendan, lovely to see you get your mojo back 😀 Enjoying the new/old style of content. Oh, and the black and white photo is so ethereal, definitely shows a different side to the tortoise.

Great video as usual, the Galapagos Islands are in my bucket list

The color one looks better imo! Fantastic photos once again, it seems so magical over there!

A wonderful video 🎉 👍 The wildlife there is really amazing and you have captured it all so great!

Even though you give an incredible experience to your participants, you also give your viewers a great experience as well. Keep doing it any way you want. You don't work for me, you take me along.

I'm thinking the only time you would sit still for any length of time is being stuck on an airplane. Galapagos is definitely a bucket list destination. Carry on. 👍🥂

My boy is officially back! Retro BVS videos. And ummmmm those are some nice Nike ACG Mowabb OG Twine 2021 kicks there son. Looks familiar….hahahahaha

Good overview even without underwater stuff. No apologies needed. Man, that coffee looked as thick as syrup!!

I cried throughout the whole video. Such an incredible trip. Thank you for making it happen! (I like the black and white.)

What an amazing place, I hope I get to visit one day.

Brendan, I don't agree with your self appraisal at all, I think you are cool and your images are also cool, those crab shots are beautiful. Regarding colour/B&W question, I always prefer colour. Good luck on your next trip.

Love the style of your videos.

The teeth on that turtle, holy moly! I like the color tortoise better personally. Galapagos looks amazing.

12:48 color!

Fun fact: there are over 800 species of hermit crab. None of them are actually true crabs. Like the gigantic coconut crab and the delicious king crab, hermit crabs are not true crabs. They only have six pairs of legs and one pair of claws; true crabs have four pairs of legs with two claws. There are other differences, but that's the most obvious one. Re the turtle image: both color and B&W work pretty well.

Color tortoise

Woops : I got "Mailing List Not Active" ... trying to subscribe ... I like B&W, but in this case I prefer the color one :-) Kind regards, Guy

Always BnW. 😬

7:46 you are not normal and you are cool. Just not those stereotyped cool that are leaning into being idiots or jerks. If it helps knowing, I like your storytelling videos, sometimes with voice offs sometimes talking to the camera.
