Sometimes I get asked about royalty free music and the tracks I use. The music in this video was sourced via Soundstripe. Not Epidemic, Artlist or Music Bed but Soundstripe. It's awesome and I genuinely use this service to find new music every week. Help me help you. bit.ly/3y8Qn8l

[@oliverhummell]

Okay I‘m gonna put it ON my bucket list now 😁👍

[@sander5086]

Great video and images Greg, Kolmanskop looks like a photographers paradise!!! My bucketlist looks more like a book then a list😅😅

[@amnonsuodai9145]

Hi .thank you again for your sharing your experience. This place are my favorite places. Never have the ability to go yet. Amnon from NYC. All best.

[@IAnneee26]

Great shots and fantastic location Greg! Happy we're able to travel again.

[@harryjamesroth]

Loved the ‘floating door’ pics man, especially the one lit by the morning sunlight! It looks like something out of a David Lynch film. Such a cool location 👊

[@donalde1517]

I think these are awesome. I look at photo 8:37 and one further back where it might be cool to have a person’s shadow on the far back wall. Kinda would look like someone from the past watching you. 😊

[@juanitakelly3082]

I think indoor shots, especially with lots of geometrics are the hardest to get right, and boy did you nail these! Really happy for you!

[@braxjohnson]

Awesome video, Greg. LOVED that interior shot, well done.

[@gregsnell]

Braxton!! Thanks man.

[@JamesKerwin]

Amazing content and scenes of Kolmanskop. Glad you enjoyed it! I need to learn to speak less and get to the point like you nail! 😅

Beautiful photos, lovely to see some B roll of Neal as well. He's a top bloke. This trip is absolutely on my bucket list, but Japan is first with BvS in 2024 (hope you will coming along).

[@gregsnell]

I might just well be. We spoke about that trip last week and at the moment it's definately a possibility. 👍

[@thepiratecats801]

@@gregsnell Fantastic.

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

Awesome location with that shot of the door within a door. That scene reminds me of rrading Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' with the door acting as a portal to another place...

[@gregsnell]

Agreed. And the fact that it's just suspended and trapped in the sand is amazing.

[@jcben]

Amazing photo Greg

[@tbu010]

great shots from that location! :) the history of it is really interesting. looking forward to the rest of the series :)

[@c.alcazar2584]

Love those types of places for photography, beautiful photos you are very lucky to be there not once but twice. ..enjoy the rest of the trip and bevsafe

[@scotty4418]

Great images Greg, looked an interesting location to explore and the detached door image certainly was something different

[@JWhyte123]

Congrats on getting the shot. Beautiful!

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

what an adventure .. the bucket list was off the charts for sure... great to see Neil also on your vid ....loved the moonwalking too :-)

[@kaylam9080]

Thank you for sharing these amazing and breathtaking photos that have been taken of my country. I am proud to be a Namibian.

[@gregsnell]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DiarmuidODonovan]

Nice one man. Really interesting place for sure. Some of those houses looked very creepy

[@scottman895]

It's really cool that you finally got to visit Kolmanskop especially after all the times Brendan has gone there in the past several years. It is one of the places I would love to see in Namibia someday!

[@brianmckeever5280]

What? No stairways? The image at @ 5:03 is awesome. Then the shadowy one of Brendan in the hallway at the hospital, exceptional. Well done 10-year return trip so far! More please.

[@LeePelling]

I can see why it was on your list, sadly not a staircase in sight but some great abandoned architectural images especially like the image at 5:40. You managed to compose it perfectly with the door not cutting into the frame in the background and how you lined up all three frames works really really well. Great video of a very interesting location, take care mate.

[@ocskaym]

Superb photos! Is it safe to say that Kolmanskop lives up to the expectation?

[@gregsnell]

Yes but challenging all the same.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Brendan with the selfie stop-motion at 1:35 was tight! 😂 The angle of that standing door in Kolmanskop immediately brought to mind the fireplace/altar from the wedding scene in "Beetlejuice".

[@NeilArthurs]

Hahahhaa dude, that shot at 9:12 😂🤣 Smashing video! Great to see it all again and the images turned out really great! 👍🙂

[@gregsnell]

Miss you buddy 💛

[@gregsnell]

Was a Savage look to be sure.

[@NeilArthurs]

@@gregsnell to be sure 🤗

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

get back making vlogs too you slacker !!! :-)

[@NeilArthurs]

@@DarrenJSpoonley I am not sure anyone one would want to see that, but I have thought about it 😃😂🤣

[@grmrtnz]

As our good friend Gavin would said, many of you images are "photogasems"! Emailing you to inquire about one of them to hang on my wall.

[@gregsnell]

lol.

[@lindabarr7246]

Do you sell prints? Went to your website but there did not appear to be any way to buy a print. Would love a print of the “doors”. Brilliant photo!

[@gregsnell]

Hi Linda, I do not sell prints no. Thanks for the inquiry though. Something for me to think about. What did you think of my website? It's always a bit of a work in progress 😆

[@lindabarr7246]

@@gregsnell I thought your website was great and easy to navigate. I looked all through it so I didn’t miss something about prints. I was pretty sure about the answer based on your website. Sometimes there are just photos that speak to me and your doors photo was one of them. Keep up the great work. I subscribed after watching Thomas Heaton’s last video. I have my own collection of staircase photos . Looking forward to watching all of your catalogue of videos.

[@Dulcimertunes]

Ironically, the water at the edge of the settlement is too dangerous to swim in because of its fast moving currents

[@fernanddurler4709]

Everyone is taking the same images from same places dude. Heaton just shot the same place 😀

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

Which lens did you find was the best inside the building?

[@gregsnell]

The widest I have. 16-35. Also something fast for low light. Mine is 2.8

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

@@gregsnell Thank you!

[@batworker]

It’s amazing, but it’s been photographed so many times by so many people I’m not sure why anybody wants to photograph it any more, especially with the time and cost of getting there.
