One of the craziest days of my life started at 6am, where we dragged ourselves to the Namibian coast for a morning at sea We then hopped in a Defender to spend the evening thrashing around the dunes, leaving no grain unturned #namibia #wildlife #landscape #dunes #travel #landrover #defender

Folks, Bluesky doesn't fuck with links. Put your links in your posts. Don't make us hunt for whatever it is you're showing off.

Sossusvlei from the ground #namibia #dunes #sossusvlei #photography #landscape

It may just be a bunch of sand, but each grain holds over 5 million years of history, stacked over 300m/1000ft tall At a rate of 5m/year, prevailing winds shape & carve this intricate landscape #namibia #dune #sossusvlei #photography

I seriously don’t deserve my friends I’d felt stuck for a while now, but the people I’m fortunate enough to surround myself with are always here to remind me how far I’ve come, despite me not realising it Fuck what the metrics say. Listen to your peers.

An endless sea of sand #namibia #dune #desert

After the incredible rocky terrain of Damaraland, we venture towards the coast to explore an endless expanse of sand in the Namib desert, home to some of the largest dunes in the world #namibia #dune #photography #nature

Bruh why do hotels insist on doing this💀

Sneak peaks of this past summer spent in public lands out west for National Public Lands Day Without protections, care, and respect for these lands, none of my work there would be possible #americansw #publiclands

Sossusvlei from the air #Namibia #hotairballoon #photography #landscape #nature

While I’d been on hot air balloons before, they were tethered, so the experience was always a little neutered Towering dunes on one side, #Sesriem canyon on the other, and fairy circles in between, my first proper flight was an experience like no other #namibia #sossusvlei

After exploring the unbelievable Damaraland, we head further south towards the famed Sossusvlei. But first, we had to make a quick 5am stop to look at some balloons… #namibia #hotairballoon #photography

Our last day in Damaraland was spent exploring Spitzkoppe, summitingbthe various peaks in the area while exploring the fields of freshly grown Silly Bushman grass #damaraland #photography #landscape #nature #roadtrip #namibia

Donating my skin to this part of the world 😂 (Singapore) #climbing #singapore #bouldering

Spitzkoppe Despite being in one of the hottest, driest climates around, pools of water leftover from rains form in the intricate Namibian landscape to provide a home for thousands of tadpoles (the black blob in the bottom left of the pool) #namibia #spitzkoppe

#Arcteryx apologies for the atrocities that they committed by blaming “the Chinese team,” as if they’re not owned by a Chinese company.

Adding #Arcteryx to my long list of brands to #boycott They’d been a shell of their former self for a long time anyways, choosing fast fashion over quality & the #environment Disgusting behaviour from a company that claims “we need to think about our impact on the people and the planet”

The stunning Spitzkoppe at sunrise After receiving historic amounts of rainfall, what would normally be bare dirt and rock was blanketed in endless fields of Stipagrostis uniplumis, or the Silky Bushman Grass #namibia #sunrise #spitzkoppe

Uh oh I may have committed some crimes against my wallet

Sensible people go out during the day Unfortunately, I’m a much bigger fan of the nighttime #spitzkoppe #namibia #astro #darksky #astronomy #milkyway #scorpius

The 20hr direct flight with Singapore Airlines from JFK - SIN is a torture test I’ve had to put up with since this route was introduced, but god damn please tell me what other airline flies this route AND gives you smoked salmon and grilled chicken thighs that are so good I asked for seconds

Hi - I’m Ryan, and I love public lands Do you? #publiclandsinpublichands #roadlessrule #publiclands #nps #usda

First time this year I’m flying with just a single carry on bag, and nothing else I haven’t gone on a non-work trip in so long, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a one bagger without my 3 bags full of camera and camping gear 😂 #travel

You, me, and sleeping under the darkest skies in the world? #namibia #darksky #milkyway #camping #nature #timelapse

Rare that I get to go to concerts these days, but Yosuke Yukimatsu x DEF was wild & I’ve been sorely missing this kind of techno show in ATL for a while now #def #yosukeyukimatsu #techno #edm #atl

Roaming through the boulder-filled Erongo region…a close eye has you stumbling upon #petroglyphs painted across the boulders Painted by the San people that lived here, in #Damaraland, over 2,000 yrs ago, these paintings tell tales of the animals and people that lived here #namibia #photography

Damaraland by night #namibia #milkyway #astrophotography #darksky #landscape

What happens when you modify your camera and point it at the sky? #namibia #astrophotography #milkyway #landscape #darksky

An endless sea of boulders deep in the Erongo mountain range #namibia #drone #dji #damaraland

Received a package from the UNSC today apparently 😂 #halo #masterchief

Step 1: find some of the darkest skies in the world Step 2: leave your camera outside your tent Step 3: ???? Step 4: edit 800 images and watch your computer burn #namibia #astro #timelapse #nature

it’s officially official now. super excited to be working with @chroniclebooks.bsky.social - pre-order link in bio - let me know if you have any issues or if you’re international and shipping is insane (some things we can potentially set up to make it cheaper in your country!)

We leave the impressive Etendeka Plateau and venture deeper into Damaraland, towards the Erongo Mountain range Here, the landscape is dominated by boulders which we’d spend the next few days climbing, cycling, and hiking through #namibia #drone #goldenhour #nature #travel #damaraland

ITS REAL. SILKSONG IS REAL.

First light on the Etendeka Plateau #namibia #drone #panorama #landscape #b&w

Leaving the house every once in a while is nice

Switching my entire professional workflow from #macOS to #Linux has been an adventure I just spent 4 hours trying to install a driver so that I can install a program, and this involved bricking my drivers & restoring from a backup multiple times 😂 V much a “welcome to Linux” moment

Anyone have experience with photo/video editing on Linux? I’ve reached my breaking point with both #MacOS and #Win so I’m finally giving #Linux a proper go haha

The Etendeka Plateau - already impressive from the ground, absolutely otherworldly from the air This impressive landscape holds millions of years of history. Once volcanically active, now a stunning expanse #namibia #landscape #panorama #drone

Spent the weekend away from my cameras just exploring the woods, crossing streams, and looking at birds

Rolling hills like ones you’d see in Tuscany Table-top mesas like Kazakhstan or the American Southwest Massive, endless boulders like of Joshua Tree Skies clearer than any in the world Damaraland has it all… #namibia #landscape #wildlife #astro

Most visit Namibia for wildlife in Etosha or the endless dunes in the Namib Desert With some of the darkest skies and crazies rock formations in the world…Damaraland quickly became one of my favourite places ever #damaraland #namibia #photography #nature

Said goodbye to one of my biggest hobbies today Never thought the day I outgrow motorsports would come…but here it is 😭😭 #simracing #iracing

Editing 360 footage is fun and all, until I remember that me and my entire forehead is also being recorded and uh…oh god #insta360 #videography #photography

In the foothills of the Grootberg Massif in northern #Damaraland lies the #Etendeka Plateau The region is comprised of basalt lava flows, remnants of Early Cretaceous volcanic activity which carved out this endless rolling expanse of flat-topped hills & boulders #namibia #drone #photography

What 180 degrees of the Southern Milky Way looks like with an H-Alpha modified camera + some of the darkest skies in the world Sony A7Riii, Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 GM - 13s, f/2.8, ISO3200 - 1x10 frames - single exposure panorama #namibia #panorama #milkyway #astrophotography #astronomy #panorama

What it’s like photographing pangolins: After 10 mins of staying dead still, breaths held, she finally unfurls and begins foraging for termites again These 10 seconds before she runs off into the bush or balls up again are all we have with these shy creatures #namibia #pangolin #conservation
