After years of failures, I finally photograph puffins. This photo vlog is from the Westfjords of #iceland Visit: https://www.squarespace.com/brendanvanson Find my photos at: https://www.brendansadventures.com
I know all about audio fails. Still, a very entertaining video. I love birds and landscapes, and hate the cold. So if I ever visit Iceland, it'll be in summer.
Great video as usual. If you get the chance to go to the Saltee Islands in Ireland, you'll have a blast with the puffins, other birds, seals and landscapes.
Great images of the Puffins and coastal cliffs. The light looked great as well! I'm assuming although it looked bright enough, it was actually not that bright as your ISO was 1600 which seemed higher than I expected?
Unless I'm wanting an art piece for the wall, I like selfies for showing scale and also making memories. The way the sun moves is so interesting there!
I found the area near Reynisfjara viewpoint was the best for puffins. You are actually shooting at eye level there as they sit on the cliffs/hills above the trail
' I was so excited to photograph Puffins that I forgot how cameras work' 🤣🤣🤣 I'm Dead! Thank you for sharing that – so glad it's not just me that makes those missteps when I get excited at times.
Brendan , fantastic video and the captures of the puffins were so beautiful!! What a trip we had so much fun and the group was super!! The sunset and sunrise in 45 minutes was the coolest thing ever. What memories!! Thank You!!
I'm so glad you got to finally get some awesome photos of the puffins! I probably could stay over by the puffins for an hour just admiring them and taking a lot of photos!
C'mon Brendan, you're better than this — the wind noise in your vlogging setup is so bad that I had to stop watching. A small slice of dead cat is all it takes…

Nice one bro. 10/4 over.
Fantastic ❤️
Puffins are not hard to photograph? Try getting one as it zooms around and 50 miles per hour.
Don't go, bro!
Just starting to watch but had to react to title… YAY
Didn't TLC say "don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're use to" 😂😂😂 Got to love that beautiful sun light 🌞👍
I was thinking, you could just see puffins in Maine. From a boat, tho. That's much better…
Stunning scenery! Loved the video and the puffins! Looks like an amazing place for photography…cheers!
For reference Brendan Puffins taste nice ..bit salty though
What a epic way to start a trip!! The most beautiful sunset/sunrise I've seen.
So…how much was the kettle?? Wild that you can get a sunset and a sunrise 30 minutes apart!

Great video as always. I prefer the photo with you in it.
How do you manage battery charging for your group on a camping trip like that?

Hard to go wrong with Puffins and such amazing scenery! You nailed it all! Thanks for bringing us along!
Congrats. First video I‘ve seen of the Western Fjords without having seen the wreck at the entrance of Latrabjarg.

Did you really skip Rauðisandur?
They look like living cartoons.
