Fabulous Video! Just discovered your channel and looking forward to watching more. We plan on going to the Dolomites this fall for our 40th anniversary. We wanted to know what camera are you using when you are walking and talking. It has very clear resolution. Can it take still shots as well as video? We only have our iPhones and are thinking of buying a GoPro or something like that that is small and would like shots in focus when we zoom them in, unlike a phone. Just for our personal use, we are not KZbinrs LOL. We are not professionals and do not want the cost, weight, or size of camera gear. Thanks for your time.

Hi, many thanks for watching 🙂 in those walking and talking clips I’m using the GoPro Hero 10 (the older version now but there’s not much difference with the newer versions). More recently, I got an iPhone 15 pro which has very good video quality! The GoPro is somewhat limiting as you have pretty much one focal length. I hope that helps? Hope you have a nice trip as well - it sounds like a special one 🙂

Hi, occasionally - mostly at the quiver tree Forest and deadvlei (due to the compression with the longer focal range)

Reg Alpe di Siusi, The parking P2 Compatsch is open at 06:00 AM in the morning, then from the parking you have 1 hour walk, means you can not be there before 7:00 AM, how you can photography at sunset ? only on months of December and January sunset is after 07:am but there is snow there ?
@olliewatts 2 ай бұрын
Hi, I was able to park at the P2 car park before 6am (before the parking attendant arrives) and then I paid the parking fees when I returned after sunrise. It looks like there’s now an automated system (barrier) which I’m sure you can do the same. To photograph sunset, i think you’ll have to spend the day there as the mountain road has restrictions

@olliewatts 2 ай бұрын
@@davidguedj4489ah, I’m not sure on the process now - it might be a case of parking at P1 with the extra walk which is annoying. Maybe there’s an option of parking sensibly and paying when you return - but you may get a parking ticket. Next time I visit, I may look into hiring a bike.

Thank you for sharing your tips. Traveling next year in August with my wife and daughter and really excited to experience the raw beauty of Namibia. I plan to take my drone..do you mind sharing the coordinates you used to for your application?
@olliewatts 2 ай бұрын
For the application, from memory was - Mesosaurus Fossil Camp area, Wêreldend Camping area, Spitzkoppe area and a few gravel road sections - I just got the coordinates using the pin drop tool on Google maps. For that part of the application, I think they are just checking it's not close to an airport or in a national park. Hope that helps and hope you have a great trip!

Hi mate - fantastic video, really enjoyable watch. I'm relatively new to photography and currently rocking a pretty lightweight Ricoh GR3 setup. Out of interest, what camera and lens combo do you use? Landscapes are want interest most and looking to delve more into this area of photography. Cheers!
@olliewatts 3 ай бұрын
Hi, many thanks 🙂 I have a Sony A7R3 and use three lenses - wide angle (16-35mm), mid range zoom (24-105mm) and a telephoto (100-400mm). Of course, lens I use is very dependent on the subject / location (on the Namibia trip I mainly used the wide angle and telephoto lens). Personally, I found the wide angle lens enabled me to improve my photography the most and telephoto lens enabled me to capture more unique and abstract shots. Hope that helps and all the best!

@@olliewatts Excellent - really useful to know. Looking at picking up an interchangeable lens camera and a few lens down the line, the Ricoh is great but only really for street. Thanks for insight bud and all best!

@olliewatts 3 ай бұрын
The facilities were fairly good, nice and clean but probably a bit expensive for what it is. I had to pay extra to enter the forest for astrophotography as well which was a bit annoying. We much preferred the Mesosaurus Fossil Camp (only 15 minutes further up the road) which was much more scenic with a larger area to explore. The owners have also invested in creating new ablution facilities so I suspect more people will go there instead. Hope that helps 🙂

Hi, many thanks 🙂 it wasn’t a tour as such but rather a desert camp - this is where we booked it ( main camp ) - www.desertcampmorocco.com - we stayed for two nights which was a good amount of time but I would suggest to find accommodation reasonably close to Mhamid (where they pick you up and drop off) either side of the camp to avoid a long drive.
