Photographing the Seychelles - Blue Hour on La Digue

in #photofeed7 years ago

Last weekend I returned from two weeks of travelling. After six years I went to the beautiful Seychelles again. While exploring new places is one of my farorite things to do during my travels, from time to time it's great to return to a place I know.

The last time we visited this little paradise in the Indian Ocean, we spent 10 days on La Digue and four on Praslin. I had such great memories of our time on La Digue that I had planned to return for some time already. And this winter was perfect. Just as it got really cold here in Germany, we packed our bags and went back to the tropics.

Again we went to La Digue first, where we spent eight days before heading over to Mahe, the main island of the Seychelles. During the two weeks I recorded several behind the scenes videos, which I now want to share with you in the next few weeks.

A red granite rock at the northern tip of La Digue

In the first video I explore the northern tip of La Digue. There I photograph one of the characteristic granite rocks that make the coast of La Digue so unique. In the video you will learn my approach to photographing seascapes during blue hour and how to make the most out of less than ideal weather conditions.


If you enjoyed this video don't forget to give it an upvote. And if you have questions or suggestions for upcoming vlogs, just leave a comment.

Die Vogelperspektive mit der Drone schaut echt gut aus ;)

What a beautiful video, simply superb job on the editing decisions there. And it is just so magical when the sun does break through a little - what a cool location, that rock has so much character!

Would be an honor to be included. You can feature the image and text as you like :-)

And if you want to include a little statement about this and upcomming content:

"Ever since I travelled to the Seychelles back in 2012 I wanted to come back because I had such a fantastic time there. Well, finally I visited those beautiful islands again and this time I also recorded some vlogs along with my photography. This here is the first vlog of a series of at least six videos that I'll post here in the comming weeks. So if you don't want to miss it, make sure to follow me ;-) "

I like watching your videos! The Seychelles is a place I know little about, and those photos you got with that rock are incredible!

You'll get to know them in the comming weeks. There'll be at least five more videos :-)

Awesome!!

Are they really pronounced like "sea shells?" That seems too good to be true...

I think so :-) Is a fitting name that way
