we're shuttering up the house for a couple days here in Crete because we're
hitting on our first island adventure road trip ocean trip boat trip so we're
kitted out like pack mules we just dropped Pegasus off at motor club and
we're walking to the ferry and this beautiful light back this way and the
Sun rises here have just been crazy crazy good and yeah another one to head
off in we're jumping on C Jets on the ferry and we're heading to sea rose via
Mykonos so yeah some ferry time coming up both
JodiE and I picked up some sort of cold we're not in the best conditions but
nothing like a little bit of sea air to make you feel better
no matter what boat I get on I can't help but go I'm on a boat any time it's
like a requirement by traveled law so one of the cool things about this ferry
ride is because we're going such a far ways away we're stopping and a lot of
the places a lot of the islands we're gonna be checking out later in the trip
so right now we're actually Santorini at the port and it's crazy here just
massive cliffs all around you can't even really see the city it's just white
lines on the top of the cliffs it's gonna be like all jazzed up all excited
and stoked for when we eventually get to give to check out this island a little
bit longer
these are a little bit crazy so we're gonna see legging it down here so we got
a text from SEAJets yesterday saying that our boat changed no longer direct
to syros we're now like having a quick stop they in Mykonos but we're over an
hour delayed so we're not sure we're gonna make our connection so fingers
crossed we can make this happen
so the boats up there we just checked at the booth and the system here is so
stupid because you have to like you buy the tickets online but you don't get the
tickets online then you have to go to an agency and pick them up but then they
changed our tickets and then they said you have to go to this agency and get
them but we don't have tickets for the original one so they're like just go on
the bus and tell them your story so I'd say 50/50 we're getting on this
boat but we should probably run a bit
forgot to the bottom of the boat and the guys said you need a ticket you can't
get on this boat without a ticket and I told them but they weren't listening
they didn't listen they didn't listen nobody listened so I started yelling and
magically we're on the book down so I guess the problem solved for now but wow
what a mission how do you not have electronic tickets in today's day and
age especially when you can buy them online it's just crazy and then to send
a text message and say oh yeah you looking's been changed to go to a travel
agency and say oh you need to go directly to the boat then go directly to
the boat and then them to say you need tickets crazy but we're on the boat
we're heading to Syros
made into zeros that was much more of a journey than we expected we thought we
were going to jump on this boat and have five hours to just do work being a bit
of a mission it's now late afternoon and we're just gonna walk down to our hotel
we made it the lenses all fogged "de-mule" myself and yeah this town
looks awesome it looks really really cool
check this out so it's crazy windy I'm really tired to be honest as well so I
think I'm gonna pull a nap and then I'm gonna take out the 100-400 mm
lens you know that when I get to a destination for my first time I like to
just walk around with one random lens why not the 100-400mm here looks like
there's lots of cool telephoto stuff to shoot so yeah nap time then photo time
oh not having a good day I just smashed my knee on the bed and I just realized
that I'm an idiot that when I packed this morning I packed the vlogging
camera I packed the DSLR I packed absolutely everything for photography
except for batteries and the chargers so the DSLR has one full battery that's
gotta last me four days of photography here in syros the vlogging camera will
die because it's only got half a battery and the vlogging camera usually burns
almost a battery a day so kind of screwed on the battery front kind of
effed up there yeah seriously but we'll make do Jodie's got her m50 so maybe I'll
use it and maybe we'll find a camera store tomorrow that has a charger I
think when I started this vlog like two years ago I was making mistakes all the
time when I started this blog two years ago every day I was forgetting my tripod
or something with a drone I was forgetting things and I think part of
growing as a professional as you forget things less often the difference between
a professional photographer and a hobbyist is you make mistakes less often
that's it that's the only difference and yeah a bit of a botched mistake today
Jodie also shoots the 5d Mark 3 which has the same battery but she assumed I
packed my charger too so now we both don't have batteries so I guess we'll
try to figure that out tomorrow as for now you've got the 100 to 400 on and
we're gonna go walk around and maybe burn some battery
so of course I want to be taking pictures like crazy and I'm like trigger
shy right now it's windy here in Syrs and there's just waves smashing up
against the seawall and they're kind of jumping up and every
now and then some kids kind of run in front of it and I'm trying to hopefully
frame a shot with a 100-400 where the kids are kind of in front of this giant
wall of water hopefully this works out hopefully they don't burn too much
battery well it's crazy crazy this water
so of course when we have no battery we find out that a remote Polly or whatever
you pronounce this place in C Rose is so photogenic look down this street an old
building Cathedral up on the top it's just so good so many photos we've only
come our hotels right there back there so we will income less than a kilometer
and I've already seen seven different photos seven different compositions but
yeah this is a bit of a classic a bit of a hero image I need to conserve battery
so I'm just gonna sign off now to save some battery I'm not jumping I just want
to show you guys the beach here there's like this beach they call it the beach
and it's just cement laid out straight along the coast here it's really cool I
think we'll check that out another day tons to check out here tons to
photograph lots of churches lots of really cool vistas lots of seascapes
I think even some telephoto shots that I shot handheld today into like the Lego
boxes of houses in the church here probably came out pretty cool so I'm
looking forward to our time here as long as the battery is survived and I guess
worst case scenario let's take a bit of a vacation so yeah that's it for today
I'll see you guys tomorrow peace
