- On the photography vlog today I got up for sunrise at St. Michael's Mount, and then gave a state of the vlog address.
For my photography, check out my instagram: @brendanvanson.
St. Michael's Mount was one of the places I really wanted to shoot in Cornwall. It seems like the perfect travel photography location. And, honestly, I hadn't even heard about it before doing some research recently. It doesn't even really look like England. And, that's pretty cool.
Cornwall is just full of cool photography locations, and I actually would love to spend a proper couple weeks here shooting. But, I had pretty limited time.
So, sunrise photography at St. Michael's Mount actually had to be pretty quick. I didn't get great sunrise light, but I did get nice light during the blue hour so that definitely made up for the lack of colour during the day. Also, it made the photography more difficult because St. Michael's Mount actually wasn't lit up. But, I made due.
The classic photography at St. Michael's Mount is of the walkway that leads into the island. And, so I shot that first. Then, I moved on to try to creat a different and unique image.
After my photo shoot, I had to make my way out of Cornwall and drive all the way back to Kent. It's @alajode's going away party, and so I didn't want to miss that.
My state of the vlog address followed the next day as I let you know the future of this travel photography vlog and where I'm going both as a photography channel and geographically in my travels.
Tomorrow on the photography vlog, I head towards Asia!
I've often wondered about your traveling alone for so long. I've done that and it's difficult! I'm truly happy that Jodie is joining you on your path to help you be happier (not that you don't seem happy) than I've seen you in quite awhile. Take care and enjoy your journeys with Jodie and your profession as you've chosen. It should be much better now!
Great video Brendan! I used to live down in Cornwall and this brought back so many memories!! Hope you have an epic time in Thailand!!!
Catching up on some of your older videos. Love your passion and enthusiasm - its infectious!! Great video
thanks, Brendan looking forward to your upcoming Thailand videos
Hi Brendan, beautiful images and wonderful location. Thank!
Good job Brendan, loving your work at 100 mph
Awesome video Brendan and thanks for the feature at the end of the video mate. I take a similar approach to popular photography locations, get the iconic shot in the bag first up and then move on to discover all the other cool compositions the location has to offer. Remember if you over shoot Malaysia and make it down to Oz, let us know and we can organise to meet up! 👍
Yeah mate! Love your stuff. Will defo let you know if we cross paths anytime soon.
Thanks, enjoyed all three of the series. I've charged my batteries, grabbing the camera and driving to Bedruthan Steps tomorrow. It's 40 minutes drive so I have no reason not too, just wished I had done so before seeing your video. Glad you have seen the propper England.
Really looking forward to new stuff over the next month will be great to see your other photos and ideas of shooting portraits, wildlife, street etc. Make sure you come to the Peak District when back in uk!
Great vlog, good luck and stay safe on your travels together, look forward to the vlogs from Asia👍
Another great video Brendan, have a great time with Jodie living the dream man, living the dream
I hope you have an awesome time in Thailand! My cousin has been telling me to visit Thailand some day, so I will definitely be looking forward to your videos and photos from there. I also hope all the best for Jodie with starting the digital nomad life!
Hey Brendan, just for one nanosecond I wondered if you were going to tell us you were going off the grid and taking a break from vlogging for a month! I think you are AMAZING with your commitment to your TH-cam community - I'm so happy you bring us along with you and can't wait for your future adventures. Sounds like a fun time ahead of you! Safe travels and keep up the clear security check streak!!!
Thanks for your commitment in watching the channel Kim. I appreciate all the support.
Brendan you are making me want to learn photography, I am Lighting Industry Qualified so I know how light works, but the photography side that you are showing looks really interesting!!!!!
Have fun dude!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Love the one with the seaweed at the foreground!
Thanks! That was my favourite too, actually.
Kuala Lumpur is a fun place, lots of cheap 5 star hotels! Looking forward to seeing the next set Brendan, cheers from a Canadian bro living in Paris, FR.
Exciting changes ahead for you...congrats!
Your project in Thailand sounds great Brendan. I wish you every success
Sounds very cool, very excited for you.
Great video and so glad you've enjoyed your time in the UK. Are you sure you're not Barry Bannan in disguise :)
So happy for you man! Really looking forward to your episodes in Chiang Mai. It's on my bucket list!
Another great vlog, best of luck in your next adventure with Jodie. On you UK list Northumberland is a must, Thomas Heaton country great coast line and friendly people.
Great video, as always, I love the way you involve us in your life as well as your photography, glad to be one of your therapists, keep it up and have a great time in Asia!
Really enjoyed your videos from England and want to wish you and Jodie good luck and I hope you both have a great time in Thailand and Im already looking forward to next moths vlogs.
Thanks Sid.
Hi Brendan, I hope you didn't mind when I saw you inside a van in Reykjavik on the last day when you and Jeff were driving your participants to the airport and I was waving at you like crazy through the window and you must have thought - what an idiot! I was just very excited to see in outside of the screen :)) Have a great time in Thailand and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun shooting for your own project. I'm looking forward to these videos very much, Thailand is one of my favorite destinations. Cheers!
+Jan Miřacký hahaha. That was hilarious! I didnt recognize you at first. Good spot. Shows how small a place Reykjavic is haha
Haha! It was a good coincidence. I was a van and somehow people inside looked like photographers, can't explain how. And from the back of the car, I saw that a guy on the passenger's seat wear a cap… Come on, now many people wear a cap in Iceland and drive a van full of photographers :)) So I needed to speed up and have a look and yeah, it was you guys. Too bad I wasn't going to the airport and couldn't say hi in a more humane way.
Lovely work mate and a big personality!
Enjoy your stay in Thailand. It doesn't matter what you photograph. Your explanation and enthusiasm are inspiring to watch the videos. I look forward to the next video but take time for yourself.
Thanks Ronald!
BEAUTIFUL
Hi Brendan watched all your videos and the advice you giveall very good information Thanks for the effort you put into your videosTom G Scotland
Ahh sad to see you leave the uk. I love your vlogs from my home land. Good luck to you bot on your adventure.
+Mary Naughton I'll be back soon, I hope!
Well done Brendan glad you like it here in Uk :-)
Safe travel for both of you, looking forward to the new project. Hey Brendan maybe you could do a why I picked these shots for the gallery vlog?
+paul trunfull yeah, that'll definitely be happening.
Stay and shoot :) Wonderful location. Cheers.
Yes England is awesome to photo, It would take me a life time to photo all the places I want to photograph in the UK, I still have a trip to the Cheddar Caves to make up for where I messed up on some photos.
Chang Mai oh yea I got a trip planned there in the next year or so lots of expats live there.
Can't wait!
Nice one Brendan, I really liked that image with the angler in it, a very different take on the iconic scene, and it was worth hanging around for the light. Glad you didn't get in trouble for being late, or did you? You never said...:-)
+Ralph Goldsmith thanks! And, I'm still alive!
Hey Buddy, come back to the UK soon, always welcome in Glasgow
Thanks!
Hey Brendan, great video and captures of St Michael’s Mount. I see you were in a rush but did you get a chance to sample the clotted cream scones? I last saw St Michael’s Mount around six years ago when cycling John O’Groats to Land’s End and have always remembered it. Again, great images and hope you made the party on time.
Thanks for watching! I had them in Dorset, I'm not really a scone fan. But, they were pretty good!
Brendan van Son Always a good watch, yeah scones can be hit or miss... 'tis all about the cream 👌🏼 take care on your travels and hope you make it back to Scotland soon.
Great stuff as usual Brendan. Really like the music in this one - could you let us know who it was?
+George D. Music was by Julian Avila it was called Foreign.
Can't Believe you didn't visit Cot Valley or the Crowns :( Ya sure missed out there., I think I've shot nearly everywhere in Cornwall (as I live here) but it gets kinda boring, Any suggestions on re-igniting my enthusiasm for here?
Good luck with your future endeavours Brendan look forward to your content. Hope you both have a great time. Exciting times all the best to you both cheers
+Lee Pinnington thanks!
Hey man great video. Please don't get offended this is just my view...your photography looks good for ...in my opinion...an amateur. I appreciate the beautiful locations you take us on and your hard work... I wish I had just a bit of your commitment...but in my opinion...stick to vlogs and cinematography. Your videos are more intriguing. Plus I understand the income potential as a youtuber... every penny counts. Again thanks for your video skills and sharing yourself. Your still cool!
a great video brendan
+Toms Photography thanks! And here's 4 fake internet points for first comment.
Not sure if Im first, but dont care, great to catch the vlog anyway
Brendan, have watched your videos for quite some time and there is one question I have when you are out late sunset/dark and early morning? Are you concerned about your safety, theft, etc
Hi Brendan, is it at the Sheraton you are going to exhibit? I had an exhibition there called Fascinating Nepal this summer. Have a good time in South East Asia!
+Dutourdumonde Photography it is! And I actually saw your exhibit. It was awesome. Did it drive anything towards your social?
Thank you, very cool you saw my exhibit (I did not)! I guess I gained a few followers but it is difficult to measure. It might also have to do with my social accounts which are not as strong as yours.
Wow! If I knew you ware so close I would come down and say hello 😉 Pease
Enjoy your down time!
Watching from Dubai
I wonder how you managed to fly the drone in a FRZ 🤔
You're welcome for the therapy ;P
Thanks
Great location, hoping to go soon.. just wondering was this at high tide or did you check when the tide would be receding ect and match that up with sunrise? or does anyone else know? thanks!
+Stephen Hutchison I checked before which is why I came here when I did. It was receeding, and it made for perfect timing.
Brendan van Son, yes I’ve been looking.. I’ve seen the times for the causeway being closed and open, looked at tidal times ect will have to just pick a day when the tides going out and the causeway opens after sunrise 👍👍
Gift of Gab.........
brendan you need to get up north, northumberland coast :-)
+steven peachey everyone has been saying this. Next time!
Brendan van Son you will love it

Hi Brendan just to remind you England, is not as good as Scotland LOLbetter scenery in Scotland, that's why all the English head for Scotland the only good thing they built in England, was the motorway to Scotland LOLTom G Scotland
+Tom Gee hahaha. I do love Scotland. And yes, in general the landscapes are much more dramatic there. As is the weather. Haha
Don't risk it. Go see your girlfriend.
