Hi, I was able to park at the P2 car park before 6am (before the parking attendant arrives) and then I paid the parking fees when I returned after sunrise. It looks like there’s now an automated system (barrier) which I’m sure you can do the same. To photograph sunset, i think you’ll have to spend the day there as the mountain road has restrictions

@@olliewatts Now the P2 is opened only at 06:00 am

⁠@@davidguedj4489ah, I’m not sure on the process now - it might be a case of parking at P1 with the extra walk which is annoying. Maybe there’s an option of parking sensibly and paying when you return - but you may get a parking ticket. Next time I visit, I may look into hiring a bike.

For the application, from memory was - Mesosaurus Fossil Camp area, Wêreldend Camping area, Spitzkoppe area and a few gravel road sections - I just got the coordinates using the pin drop tool on Google maps. For that part of the application, I think they are just checking it's not close to an airport or in a national park. Hope that helps and hope you have a great trip!

Thank you very much

Sounds sensible, I can’t really comment on portrait photography but I can imagine locals around Jemaa el-Fnaa being willing (for a price maybe 😅)

Hi, many thanks 🙂 I have a Sony A7R3 and use three lenses - wide angle (16-35mm), mid range zoom (24-105mm) and a telephoto (100-400mm). Of course, lens I use is very dependent on the subject / location (on the Namibia trip I mainly used the wide angle and telephoto lens). Personally, I found the wide angle lens enabled me to improve my photography the most and telephoto lens enabled me to capture more unique and abstract shots. Hope that helps and all the best!

@@olliewatts Excellent - really useful to know. Looking at picking up an interchangeable lens camera and a few lens down the line, the Ricoh is great but only really for street. Thanks for insight bud and all best!

The facilities were fairly good, nice and clean but probably a bit expensive for what it is. I had to pay extra to enter the forest for astrophotography as well which was a bit annoying. We much preferred the Mesosaurus Fossil Camp (only 15 minutes further up the road) which was much more scenic with a larger area to explore. The owners have also invested in creating new ablution facilities so I suspect more people will go there instead. Hope that helps 🙂

@@olliewatts Thanks for sharing! I appreciate the heads-up, It really helps in planning the best experience - thanks again! 🙏

Hi, we hired from Crystal Water Kayaks (located as you approach Anse Source d'Argent) and I think we paid about €35 per person for the full tour - hope that helps 🙂

We stayed 5 nights which was perfect, I would say a minimum of 4 nights to fully relax and enjoy the island. It was our favourite island from the trip 🙂

Great Video: We Arrive Apr 25th and leave May 7th Staying Platte island Apr 30-May 5 Need to break up the rest of the time between Mahe and La Digue. 5 nights in La Digue is not too long in your opinion?

@@Doriginal5 hey=) last time we stayed for 5 nights...we plan to come back next year for more (8 nights) to really relax and visit some beaches twice. in my opinion 5 nights is not too long, even though it is a small island

Many thanks - 3rd week in October 🙂

Many thanks, we went in the last week in March and the first week of April

Hi, in the dunes I pretty much exclusively used a 100-400 lens. I didn’t want to change lenses out in the dunes in case of sand getting into the camera / inside of the lens. Hope that helps - hope you have a nice trip 🙂

@@olliewatts thank you , sadly I won’t be taking my long lens , coming from Australia it’s a bit heavy . I hope to get some great photos with what I am taking . Cheers

Hi, many thanks 🙂 it wasn’t a tour as such but rather a desert camp - this is where we booked it ( main camp ) - www.desertcampmorocco.com - we stayed for two nights which was a good amount of time but I would suggest to find accommodation reasonably close to Mhamid (where they pick you up and drop off) either side of the camp to avoid a long drive. Hope that helps 🙂

@@olliewatts thanks heaps! Really appreciate your reply 🙏

Hi, I’m using the DJI Air 2S

Hi, many thanks - I believe it’s fine in the winter on the main roads. I’m not sure about the ferry schedule in the winter, which may affect your route (the ferry we took was available only in the summer). The Norwegian roads are very well maintained and I imagine the rental car will be fully prepared. Hope that helps

@@olliewatts thanks for your reply. But is it necessary to take ferry? Can’t I drive all the way to and fro between tromso and lofoten

@@barnalibhattacharjee5640 no you don’t need to take the ferry, there’s a more direct route available between Tromso and the islands

Hi, I can’t remember the number/name of the trail but i headed out on the road leading to a place on google maps called Kaserill Alm and then I headed back to the car park via a more direct route - rough coordinates of the location I was: (46.6330787, 11.7822626) - hope that helps, the signage when you’re there is pretty good. A beautiful location 🙂
