Sunrise Photography and Crete by Quad

Sunrise photography is where I'm at my best, and I love it! I'm in Crete, Greece for today's photography vlog.
Crete is turning out to be much more photogenic than I expected. I thought that it was going to be a bit of a challenge and that I'd find myself begging to get to the other islands. But, the photography opportunities here are actually really good. I'm finding lots to shoot. And, I really haven't even left Heraklion yet!
Today's sunrise photography went pretty well. The light was great, and the mood was fantastic. The location maybe wasn't what I planned, but it worked.
After the sunrise photography and a serious nap, I jumped on my quad and headed down the coast of Crete to look for some beaches. I have a product shoot over the next couple days, and I wanted to do some location scouting. I found some cool spots, and I think I'm going to have fun out photographing them the next couple days.
Tomorrow's photography vlog, I'll be up for another sunrise!

Thanks for getting to Bali Brendan - it's lovely to see the place again. No, there was no bouncy sea castle and much fewer sunbeds on the beach 21 years ago! We used to head to a cocktail bar at the beach right at the foot of the old town for evening cocktails with the Med lapping our feet :-)
We should go back there one day really. Thank you so much again. Nick & Lisa

Bali is paradise! And it's just about 50 km from Heraklion. Great spot! Tnx for the video!

Like the difference in the color of the water on each side of the sea wall. Great stuff thanks for sharing....

Elafonisi beach is also a fantastic spot!!! It's in other side of the island, but is very beautiful beach!!
Nice to see your Amarante T-shirt 😉👌

Enjoyed the video. I read that someone inquired about the orange L bracket that you use on your camera. I have been doing photography for forty years and last month I purchased the L bracket before a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. I have purchased a lot of things that were supposed to make photography easier or me a better photographer; most have found there way into one of those bags that was supposed to be the best bag you could buy. LOL The L bracket is the best "add on" I have purchased. It makes going from horizontal to vertical when using a tripod incredibly easy, helps to protect my camera body when I use a sling strap, is not that expensive nor heavy and is truly one piece of kit that I really would not want to give up. Could not be more happy. Thanks to you and Thomas Heaton for turning me on to this. Keep up the fantastic work.

Curved seawall into the sunrise really worked. Great shots. Super vlog keep them coming 'cos we love them. I hope you're not wearing flip-flops on that quad!!!

We went to Crete years ago and I remember walking along the breakwater at Heraklion. This brings back memories.

[ramonluna]

it seems you feel at home, just walking around in flip flops, you can tell you are having fun!!! Thanks great images!!!

That's the first thing I noticed on your LCD screen was the split down the middle in colour, very nice images. 👏📷

Hi Brendan, i don’t know if anybody else has suggested it but you should try to do a crossing of the Samaria gorge. It is very beautiful and its exit is an amazing location. Also check out the palm forrest of Vai. I am not sure though if it’s still in it’s full glory coz there was a fire a few years ago. But it used to be stunning.

Wonderful photos Brendan!!!
I’m at Crete right now and trying to persuade myself to wake up early tomorrow for a sunrise shoot - wish me luck, lol :D

[calsela]

Its amazing how sunlight can make the left part of the ocean blue and the right part orange-ish

[ninacleven]

Crete looks lovely, will be looking forward to all the videos from there.

[jasonkennedy]

Can’t wait for my trip now.... is it September yet?? What... another 6 weeks until I go... balls to that!! 😳😆
What happened to the voice intro's mate? they were good... added a great journo feel to it.

I loved to take astrophotos on the mountains... There is some observatory too on the mountains...

[SukowatyPhotography]

Those photos are really awesome with the color temp changes! Nice work!

The magenta color of the sky and the teal color of the water goes so well together!
