Remote mountain, INCREDIBLE conditions - Photography in the Drakensberg

A landscape photography adventure to South Peak in the Drakensberg. I took a photography group to this remote mountain on day 3 of a backpacking trip along the Drakensberg escarpment. The conditions didn't disappoint!

When you told me to stand in front of the green screen I didn’t realize we would be in the Drakensberg 😎

What wonderful vistas

[@jbairdexp]

I'd never heard of the Drakensberg before you started making videos from there, but its clear from videos like this why you keep going back. Great to hear you have more videos coming as well (which I'll try and watch within 24hrs ;-) lol )

Fantastic, Alex! Even Karin gives you a thumbs up 😉

[@alexnail]

I didn’t know I was trying to achieve that accolade but now I’m glad that I have. 👍

Thank you!

[@NicolasAlexanderOtto]

Just cant enough of those mountains!

[@alexnail]

They’re juicy!

[@andrewfindlayphoto]

At the beginning of the video, I thought 'Misty Scotland Again'. Just kidding great video and photos of a unique place. Not the place to wander around on a foggy night. Quite a drop off 😲🪂

[@alexnail]

Yes it’s certainly not short of big drops!

[@juanitakelly3082]

Incredible indeed! Thank you and thanks to your workshop participants for sharing your time with us!

[@alexnail]

Thanks! Yes they were a good bunch!

[@CharlesParmar]

[@alexnail]

Thanks Charles, that’s very kind!

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

Absolutely stunning!

[@jamespanter4060]

Fantastic.

[@colinrooke6948]

Superb images Alex, it’s great to see something from locations less well known to U.K. photographers

[@alexnail]

Thanks Colin

[@pawelkuzma2804]

Another incredible video and photographs Alex. Thanks for sharing. It's a real pleasure watching it. Thank you 🙂👍

[@alexnail]

Thanks Pawel :)

[@dark222s]

Amazing views and conditions Alex. Well done! Can't wait for the upcoming videos!

[@alexnail]

Editing as we speak!

[@MegaDwilkinson]

Fantastic images Alex, always brining fond memories of the trips I was on - what a wonderful place

[@alexnail]

Thanks David! Make sure to watch Fridays video, that’s starting at Injisuthi so it shows parts of the Berg I guess you won’t have seen!

[@ianperkins1360]

Great video, Alex! There’s something magical about seeing the peaks emerging from the clouds and catching the light. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos (can’t believe you camped on top of Cathedral Peak!!)!

[@alexnail]

Thanks Ian! And yes, camping up there wasnt my best idea, but I did at least sleep well and get some nice photos!

[@alanpinn2266]

Another great video Alex! What an incredible location with fantastic light and conditions! You'd captured some wonderful shots. Oh, and nice to see Adam in there enjoying the trip! Keep up the good work. I'll look forward to the next videos. Cheers.

[@alexnail]

Thanks very much Alan!

[@ThyWorshipMetal]

Was wondering if we were going to get videos from your workshops during your month away 😁 looking forward to watching this and seeing more

[@alexnail]

Only this one from my actual “workshops” per se. The third trip was with friends though, so I was free to Vlog away!

[@paulbruins9935]

Always inspirational. Thanks Alex.

[@alexnail]

My pleasure, thanks for commenting Paul!

[@Prashant.Khapane]

Lovely video, Alex. Shame I did not know about your great wilderness workshop has gone live, missed it this time.

[@alexnail]

I’ve actually had a cancellation for that trip. I’m waiting to hear back from a couple of people on the waiting list but there *might* be a spot

[@colmpharrellphoto]

Really beautiful video Alex, was spellbound all the way through! Was wondering, what camera did you use for the footage? And did you use a LUT? Colours are stunning!

[@alexnail]

Thank you! It’s all shot on a Canon R5 in C-log3. Colour correction in Davinci Resolve, but I use color management, not LUTs (which are much harder to work with)

[@donniebel]

Nice! And you got to sleep in to 4am. 😂

[@alexnail]

Yes, shorter days in March do make that a little easier!

[@MRQirex]

Porters....

[@alexnail]

Yes
