Photographing Trains in Sri Lanka

[@jeewanianusha8222]

Pearl of Indian Ocean ....SRI LANAKA..I Love My country ....🇱🇰🇱🇰💞

[@wookiedawgg]

Not five minutes before watching the video I was just reflecting on the need for 'letting go'. To take those moments away from our sensory overload and allow our minds to observe our surroundings, to calm its synapses. This can be watching the scenery pass by from a train or boat or the waves crash on the shore. We need it so much more these days to take account of what we have and be appreciative of it.

[@BrendanvanSon]

I agree

[@ude3333]

That 2.5 sec exposure shot is awesome!

[@scottman895]

Those photos from the train came out very well especially as it was moving! It looked like it was an awesome adventure!

[@BrendanvanSon]

Thanks buddy

[@SahanTheMighty]

Lol that guy who inadvertently photobombed 😂 The last photo at dusk is sublime 🧡

[@neklamp2431]

"Don't go chasing waterfalls" ha ha ha!!!!! Nice photos Brendan! Trains always look cool!!!!

[@BrendanvanSon]

Sorry. Haha

[@sanathwilvara]

Thank you for visiting in Kandy and introducing its beauty to the world

[@Travelling_about]

I think the long exposure nailed it probably better then you were waiting for.

[@phila8226]

Brendan, great video. Your backpack keeps changing color like magic - blue, orange, blue, orange, blue, orange . . .

[@BrendanvanSon]

Haha, the orange one is my friend Keats!

[@geraldhewes]

Love your fashion statement- nice blending in with the locals!

[@BrendanvanSon]

Haha. I don't blend in with anything. Lol

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Ok I NEED the details of how you did this train because I've been watching a few vlogs recently where the train is packed with people and your's didn't seem to bad from the few clips inside. What class did you go and what time? Advice welcome! :)

[@BrendanvanSon]

You take it from the town near Kandy "Peren.... Something" it was chill and I only booked a week in advance

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

@@BrendanvanSon Good to know, thank you! What class did you go?

[@BrendanvanSon]

Observation. But, we could kind of move freely elsewhere on the train too

[@mahikantha]

avoid weekends and public holidays very simple

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

@@mahikantha Thank you! Noted!

[@thereedsy]

looks like a lot of fun!

[@ralphtissera6207]

Excellent photos Brendan! Please keep up the great work from Sri Lanka. Waiting for more videos from SL.

[@BrendanvanSon]

Thanks Ralph

[@pearlperara9480]

Awesome video. Amazing views. Wow.

[@vihangakumara6849]

Thank you so much for visiting our country 😍

[@corinevankapel]

Great video and socks!

[@naveenbuddhikananayakkara4371]

Your video is cool. I love it soo much. Thank you so much for coming here 😍

[@donstravelsandrants.]

As usual, brilliant video and photography.

[@keating_around]

Hahahaha! IG stories in the background. I swear I didn’t know you were talking to the camera. I think there was sweat clogging my ear drums. And sorry to everyone for my chewing of gum like a cow. I’ll work on that... 😂🤣

[@jackoneil3933]

Very Good Brendan, reminiscent of an old Art Wolfe Travels to the Edge episode.

[@PhotographerSen]

When such things happen to me, and that happen quite frequently, I hardly become able to say, 'cool, thanks bro'. Rather I usually shout the hell out, 'get down man, there's a bee over your head...'!

[@BrendanvanSon]

Hahahaha

[@TaavP]

what's up guys, back at it again today. Liked the intro ;) You said it was hard before, but you are getting it :)

[@TaavP]

The fotos of the lady were beauiful!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Very nice location... envious of your relative closeness to such photo sites... When will you be moving into your new home?

[@chathuramadusanka7309]

Wow nice video. Thanks visit to srilanka 🇱🇰 🐘🐒🐅🦀🐳🌺🏵️

[@liamshane5338]

[@RanulHashika]

That last photo is awesome

[@lahiruprabhashwara7721]

Thank you so much.🙏🙏you promote my country.come back again srilanka

[@birgitsmetana]

love your shots (and vid) as always. yet the long exposure Keats did I like better than your 2 sec exposure. still wonderful images. 😎

[@pablogonzalez8304]

The train would have been in time with that blur

[@keating_around]

High five!!!

[@tessm3420]

My friends and I are going to be riding a steam train next month and shooting waterfalls 😁💕

[@BrendanvanSon]

Lucky!!

[@MichaelTapel]

Have you met the Yes man ?

[@tishankaveendra7666]

Are you talking about the man who was met to Mr. Harold? Lol

[@MichaelTapel]

Tishan Kaveendra of course, he’s quite a meme

[@thidassankaja8039]

Remember Sri Lanka is full of memes

[@chathuramadusanka7309]

Haha omg yes man very famous 😁😁

[@jika-uom8750]

😂😂😂

[@jasonkennedy2045]

Love the last train shot mate, definitely my kind of shot!! Will check Keats’ shit now. Kodak sox.... mmmm, least said the better, small rescue with the flamingo shorts but... mustard yellow? Not sure!! Great vlog mate. Like your vlogs of old and great for it 👍 Cheers Jase

[@unknowntunes2141]

Welcome bro..

[@SAMM0608]

When are you coming to Delhi, India?

[@richardcoomber9909]

As long as trains keep running, a restless man I’ll be

[@vproven]

Very cool images. 👍👍👍🤓

[@martinmuller4569]

Follower for some time, first comment. Great channel. Compared to the very gimbal heavy footage of recent episodes I actually preferred your hand held video. Maybe one can get a little gimbal-lazy? Video felt more grounded. Anyways. Inspiring stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrendanvanSon]

Thanks Martin! Yeah, sometimes it adds a rawness to the footage, and the gimbal can be a crutch. I'm trying to be less reliant on it

[@thiru363]

THANKS FOR SHARING :)

[@xen908]

Heaven photographing Trains

[@kanthijayasuriya2279]

What is the filter did u use to photograph the bridge? I hope to visit ella in next week :)

[@songmusicprabash1856]

Thank you brother visit to our beautiful Country 🇱🇰 ♥️♥️🙏🙏

[@gofindmo]

She is a beautiful lady indeed.

[@jika-uom8750]

Thanks for supporting

[@MarkKellyPhotographyUK]

Great images in physically tough conditions 👏👏

[@ltune79]

Love the shorts and socks 😂

[@gunsnroses2570]

I think 3:32 is the best place to photograph that train

[@BrendanvanSon]

Yup. It's a great spot. If I had time for a third shot I would have gone back up there

[@ajithkeppetipola7709]

welcome to sri lanka

[@RajanLakule]

Hello Brendan, are you also visiting india? Mumbai? After Shrilanka

[@BrendanvanSon]

But this time.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Love ya, BVS. Some great travel shots and footage! But please stop hanging out of train doors. Especially when wearing flip flops. I can't believe Jodie is down with that!

[@Makta972]

People was laughing at olympus for the Train A.I AF recog.. Looks like some people really like to take train pictures. You shoukd try a EM1x

[@oskarwesterlund4814]

Hello I have a question to you about cameras. I am a beginner photographer and I am going to buy my first canon camera. I have looked on many canon cameras and I found the canon eos 250d. Should I buy it.

[@keating_around]

Oskar Westerlund every photographer will tell you that the best camera is the one you have with you. Buy a camera you can easily afford. Focus on learning how the camera works. Eventually, move to a full frame and get some good glass on it. All in due time.

[@mynameisneb]

Hey Brendan, is your 2020 Iceland workshop full? Just curious

[@BrendanvanSon]

1 spot left on the winter trip. 2 spots left on the summer camping trip

[@apontutul]

Trains and travelling. BFF

[@BrendanvanSon]

Agreed

[@paultrunfull3324]

Gosh can just about say yes to the shorts, BUT those socks if they went any higher NASA would want them !

[@BrendanvanSon]

Hahaha. It was to keep the mosquitos off my legs

[@kanchanaweranga9363]

What is the camera ur using for video?

[@Jim1971a]

I’m jealous. If I do ISO 400 on my camera it looks like crap. Super grainy.

[@BrendanvanSon]

When I started, my camera couldn't even do 200. Heck, at 100 it was noisey sometimes. Limitations make you become creative!

[@pix-point]

Why did you use the ND filter?

[@rajeshvelappan8396]

Wide exposure at the same time not too much light enter the lens.

[@independentjohn]

You are the "God" of Photography Brendan Son :)

[@ahmedrashed78]

I love trains

[@kanthijayasuriya2279]

I am from srilanka and i am a big fan of yours
