Moody Travel Photography in Vienna

I made it to Vienna, but it's a little bit "moody" out. And while moody makes for great landscape photography, how is it for travel?

Vienna is a travel photography dream. It's just so photogenic, even when the weather isn't great. I ran into some moody light and weather with my photos in the capital of Austria - but that's OK. Travel photography doesn't need to always be epic or blue sky. Moody photography works as well.

Brendan thank you for sharing your time, and skills with us, found you from Morten Hilmer, love it from New Zealand :)

[@AdamRifi]

Always interesting to see your own city through the eyes of someone else. Amazing pictures too :) Also about the cigarette butts: My gf (who is not from here) keeps saying "People in Vienna must think that cigarette butts just return to nature like that" 😅

[@mrstainless9460]

When I was at Belvedere two weeks ago there were no tents or trucks. Just hordes of tourists. I would've preferred the tenst and trucks...

[@liborkrupica5686]

Hello Brendan, nice video. My family comes from there ... You should try photograph Prague ...

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

I guess your brief as a travel photographer working for a client is 'Shoot X Y and Z' but what images would YOU shoot for yourself, OR if you wanted to make fine art prints what would you look for?

[@MichaelFreitag]

Man I'm living here and didn't know you are in Vienna... that's really sad... :-(

[@batworker]

Two things I’ve learned from your videos...you’re really really good at photography but really weak at time management 😂😂😂😂 You always seem to be running out of time....

[@geraldh.6626]

Oh man. You were in my hometown and didn't say anything? I could have show you a few things. Hope you came back one day and tell us before. ;)

[@carloslovesmandy248]

took a trip from kaiserslautern, germany to vienna in 2001. It was a gorgeous sight to see. I'm from alabama so i know i stuck out like a turd in a punch bowl but i was awestruck by that city.

[@Supisiciiiiiiii]

Will you be in Switzerland in the next few weeks?

[@travelingtiv]

Brendan, inspired and enjoying the footage. My channel is a slow process but hopefully I will bring it up to speed. PS: Video Editing is a love/hate relationship.

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

I’m like you trying to grow my channel. You’ve got some nice work. Given you a sub.

[@Topsyrm]

Your Poo image certainly is no longer Poo.

[@duhauaxel]

What's that strange effect on 5:55?

[@robcoventry574]

How do you get those angled grid lines on your canon?

[@chrisborgmotorhome]

It's amazing to see how you make such a nice images from a location despite its "moody" out. Keep up the good work.

[@tjsinva]

Scaffolds, catering trucks, and event tents, the bane of photographers everywhere.

[@kaitlynjohnson3427]

Was there two days ago

[@stevemozzie6497]

Love the curved shot

[@dennyhartanto2810]

good morning guys

[@twotone3070]

Let the rich people eat cake.

[@fabienb]

Seriously? I thought we were not meeting by lack of fortune but now I believe you were just avoiding me! You're even in my same shooting spot!!! Loool

[@TetraEzio]

What a location 👍🏼

[@kenwiberg6517]

1:30 you mean like "Keystone Correction" in the E-M1 Mk II for straightening converging lines in the camera ?......you are right Bren, it's a wonderful feature to have with you. I use it with my 7-14 2.8 Pro(EFL 14-28mm)

[@DavidSenteno]

You always leave the funniest parts out. Imagine the clicks if the title was " I crashed and died inVienna!" 🐼✌️👍🏽🧟‍♂️

[@janm2473]

I found this funny. :)

[@DavidSenteno]

Jann Smith I aim to please. 🐼😁

[@scottman895]

Watching this moody video has put me in quite a good mood! I remember visiting the grounds of Belvedere Palace last year, but it was more sunny. The scenery is quite photogenic!

[@stanmalinov]

Man, with every new video, and new photos I think you getting better and better. Thanks for sharing. Will work on myself to become good as you are

[@bloneric]

Vienna the most beautiful city worldwide, thanks for the video Brendan!

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Glad you didn't crash and die! Great video Brendan looks like an awesome location, and you got some awesome images.

[@bikecommuter24]

Vienna, I'm hungry for some Kaiserschmarrn. That fountain and the palace would make a great Cinemagraph.

[@danielhenzphotography]

Vienna is a beautiful city which does not feel overwellming and kinda cute. Also, did you leave the scooter in Frage on purpose? And where can i find you poo image?

[@RandyMartin000]

I had the privilege of visiting Vienna in June of this year. I was there for a meeting, but had a couple days before and after the meeting to take photos of the beautiful city. I had beautiful weather. I loved Karl's church and the reflections (the inside is very interesting) and took photos of the Belvedere Palace inside and out with the flower gardens and fountains. The Volksgarten (Rose garden) was spectacular. I was able to stay a block from the Opera House, so was very central to everything. The Schonbrun Palace was also spectacular on the outside (still haven't paid to go inside). The Zoo was fantastic (world's oldest). I even did a whole collection of statues and sculptures of Vienna. I even got to go on a bike ride along the Danube. Vienna is wonderful, enjoy your time.

[@hamsphotovlogs]

Those reflections are awesome. I always look for reflections in my photography too. And tilt shift lens is still a dream lens to me. For moody or overcast days, i normally go B/W. great travel video.

[@RossCorbett]

Beautiful Vienna! Quick question - have you tried the 15-35 on your gimbal or is the lens too heavy? Thanks.

[@wenyulian9584]

Beautiful city! The 1st church would be lighted for sunset, but there would be many people too.

[@ellyelzinga01]

I love Austria, been there so many times and going again in January and August! But never been to Vienna, maybe also that will happen sometime! :) I actually really like the moody images!

[@d4nyboy249]

Love ya work and your videos Brendan but wish you would fix that endcard i can make one and email it to you if you like...

[@JohnPaul-ii]

See Vienna and die, not the best idea. Makes it difficult to get future youtube content from you if you did. Great footage again, thanks for sharing Brendan.

[@davebryer6133]

I really did like the images you took, might not have been what you wanted but I liked them. I loved the music in the video, good job.

[@bradzaruba9686]

My wife and I were there a month ago and it was loves, despite the conditions being similar to yours. Other location shots were stellar based on conditions.

[@dimitristsagdis7340]

Is there anything from the 5DIV that you are missing in the R?

[@birgitsmetana]

Glad you enjoyed my lovely hometown. 🤩🤩🤩

[@stevesmith1986ss]

Sneeky little leaf throw at 2.26 😉

[@TaavP]

Been there many years ago, unfortunatly I still didn't have my camera *.*

[@rithikranasinghe1592]

really entertaining and interesting video loved it💖👌✔

[@richwhitmeyer6447]

How do you figure out your exposure time?

[@andysillaber]

Buddy - if you are still in Austria ....come on over to the Western part of Austria - called Vorarlberg - my city is Dornbirn. Surrounded by the mountains and the Lake Constance. Just give me a call. andy

[@tjsinva]

No, he's in Nepal, walking the Annapurna trail. He'll be off the grid for a couple of weeks.

[@neklamp2431]

Beautiful photos!

[@fil____11]

Another great video!!

[@sathwicks2111]

Nice video

[@rjdumaguin4333]

Nice

[@tiinasoderholm]

I'm trying to sell my 24mm ts-e lens but too little intrested buyers

[@pablogonzalez8304]

That's a good a focal length I've seen some good architectural photos with that lens but the price the price mucho fasul unless you are a super pro architectural photographer

[@christianpetersen1782]

Pablo Gonzalez Aren’t these lenses obsolete now that verticals can be straightened in post processing?

[@pablogonzalez8304]

@@christianpetersen1782 If camera stores are still selling these lenses it must be for a reason. I met a photographer who just shoots architecture ( that's his bread and butter) and he uses the 24mm tilt shift lens. Sure you can "fix" it in post but you may not always have good results. There is saying that it's better to get right in camera. I read something on this on Fstoppers. I am not a pro so...
