El Camino - My Journey through Northern Spain

On the first september 2022 I began my 32 day long hike from Irun to Fisterra. In total 917km of walking. In that time I met plenty of nice people, learned some lessons and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Since I love artistic expression like movie making I thought it might be a good opportunity to bring my camera to try to make a documentary out of it.
I learned a lot on the process and I'm looking forward to the next creative project.
Thanks for everyone I met on the camino that made this possible by sharing their perspectives.
It was an amazing experience!
I will be happy about a donation if you want to support my work. :)

Which parts of the Camino Norte and Primitivo did you walk? Do you have a link to a map? 2) Which filming equipment did you use - camera, lenses, filters, action camera, gimbal, mic, editing software, etc.? The magic comes primarily from your keenly observant eye, but I'd love to know what you filmed with.

    Thank you for your feedback! :) I walked the Camino del Norte until Villaviciosa. If you continue from there you will find the decision point to the Camino Primitivo. I continued on that way until Santiago and walked the Camino Fisterra in the end. Only rarely I deviated from the route but I didnt track it so I don't have a map for you. Main camera: Sony a7c with the Tamron 28-200 f2.8-5.6. I used ND Filters as well. Second camera: DJI Action 2. Very useful for the wide angles and hyperlapses. Mic: Incamera Camera Bag: Peak Design 5L Tripod: Gorillapod 3K Pro Editing Software: Davinci Resolve. Free to use and incredibly powerful. I'll probably add these infos to the description.
