    Been to Santorini as a stepping stone to other islands. Usually visit early May to catch the wonderful flower display on island such as Kythnos. Even in early May, Santorini was WAY too busy for a couple of oldies such as my wife and I. Once the cruise ships arrive, the place becomes crammed with sweating bodies. Oia was so packed, I couldn't wait to catch the bus back to Fira. Took a great image of the Skaros rock, unfortunately there were a number of models posing for those pesky Instagram images that spoiled the end result. Can't wait to see you touring Serifos. Called in at Sikinos and Sifnos on other tours of the islands.

    Was it intentional to wear the "blue roof" colored hat to Santorini? :P I always think it's wild that all the photos are of the "blue rooftops" but there are soooooo few of them. Now that is when I'd want to be there, when there crowds were not!

    @@BrendanvanSon Understandable 😃 and now they're just gonna get more expensive. There's always another year 😜 I was in Greece a few weeks ago, been waiting to go back for about 8-9 years. 13€ flight from Cro (but the capital, probably more expensive from the coast) and pure happiness 😁

    It's not just camera batteries that need recharged and good to see you getting some quality 'you' time BvS. Photography to me is not just about the travelling, the gear and the images, it's also a state of mind as it projects a feeling of contentment to enable me to be at ease with myself. I totally relate to what you were saying and hopefully your time away has given you the headspace you were needing.

    Great vid, private waterfalls in Yorkshire too, by the way when using a space saver wheel it should only be fitted to the rear for safety. This would mean first fitting the spare to the rear and then replacing the flat tyre with the one removed from the rear .

    Quick gear question, Brendan. Are you still using the EOS R or RP? I ask because the wobbly stabilization, or lack thereof, is pretty distracting. Have you thought about the R6 Mark II? Its stabilization, slow motion, autofocus, etc. are allegedly much better. I really enjoy your content. I will likely never make it to Japan, but I will definitely use your tips in other travel locations.
