Namibia Landscapes by Marc Llewellyn

Namibia by far boasts the most diverse landscapes i’ve ever witnessed. From enormous sand dunes, endlessly flat and barren pans, sudden eruptions of rock formations and skeleton coasts littered with shipwrecks where the Namib desert meets the sea.

I often found that even a four hour drive would reveal four complete different terrains that looked more like another planet to me. There are sections between Solitaire and Swakpomund where the angled platelets of rock would protrude the surface in a stunning display of geology.

 

Namibia Portraits by Marc Llewellyn

It’s easy to develop preconceived notions of Africa, and it’s people, being less than safe for travellers. However, from my experience, this couldn’t be more further from the truth.

The Namibian and Botswanan people wore a constant and welcoming smile across their face and every passing of a local was met with intrigue and welcome.  A genuine and honest interaction I hadn’t encountered with any other culture.  Northern Namibia is also known for having a population of Himba People, a nomadic, unmistakably ochre-skinned tribespeople originally from Angola and still living unchanged in their mud huts today.

Colombo To Ella by Marc Llewellyn

The very famous and stunningly beautiful train ride from Colombo (via Kandy) to Ella, high up in the tea mountains of Sri Lanka.  If you're lucky enough to find a window seat, or any seat for that matter, strap yourself in and enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka's countryside.

Places Of India by Marc Llewellyn

The wildly contrasting scenes of India.  A country boasting a mix of stunning colours, architecture, symmetry and historical constructions blended with destruction, filth and forgotten spaces.

5D Mk3 Double Exposure Test by Marc Llewellyn

I've been really enjoying exploring double exposure photography lately.  It's wildly interesting and quite difficult to achieve a well balanced image.  I recently borrowed a Canon 5D mk3 from my Dad which has built in multiple exposure functions.  It's a completely different medium and an art form within itself.  Looking forward to testing it out more on my upcoming trips to India and the Mentawai Islands.
