- I'm a professional photographer and decided to document my Camino De Santiago walk across Spain on the Camino Frances in April / May this year (2022).
This wasn't a photography trip, it was a dream holiday / pilgrimage, but I managed to shoot 7,000 images over the 6 weeks we walked across Spain. 250 of my best photos are included in this video, so I do hope you enjoy them.
I took my little Nikon Z50 travel camera, there will be more details about photography in an upcoming video, with tips and ideas, so do subscribe and click on the notification bell.

There is a mixture of landscapes, architecture, portraits, and food photos in this video. Do let me know what type of photos you enjoy the most, it would really help me for future videos. Thanks!
Great to see you Simon. Hope you are both enjoying the trips. I'm off to Greece (Corfu) next week with a mate.. Have a vlog camera but wont do this quality bro. Keep in touch. M
@@mikemolloy625 Corfu, sounds like a great time to be had mike, enjoy!
By my soul, what a good film. I love this.
Oh wow, what a lovely thing to say, thank you so much! 😊 I've started making shorter videos, a couple of days at a time, to show the route a little better, and share a few more photos. 🙏🏼
Absolutely beautiful photographs! Such lovely lighting of the architecture. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing.
That's very kind of you to say Liz, thank you so much 🙏🏼
Gosh. Such amazing photography. I was spellbound all the way through and kept pausing it to have a good look and constantly said "wow". Thank you for a tremendous job well done. I met a lady yesterday who told me she had walked the Camino and kept turning around to get another viewpoint of where she had been walking which I thought was a brilliant idea rather than just focusing on the one direction.
Thank you for your kind words. There are indeed many spots on the Camino where the view looking behind is more impressive than looking forward. 🙂
Super nice documentary. I did my Camino around same time - started in early April 2022. Thanks for this nice piece of art! ❤
Thanks for the kind words!
Thoroughly enjoyed this production. 👍👍👍
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
I visited Spain ( many of those places on your video) in 1986. It turns out that I left part of my heart there. Thank you for your beautiful video.
Hi Brigid I would imagine many of the places haven't changed much in all those years, it's like going back in time. Appreciate the comment, many thanks!
We are returning to the Camino next month and watched your great video again to bring our anticipation levels a little higher. Loved your b&w portrait shots - amazing use of available light.
Thanks for watching Ken, that's exciting that you're returning, we'd love to do the same one day. Thanks for the kind words, and we hope you have a fantastic time, buen Camino!
What a wonderful adventure, Simon! It was really nice to see you guys enjoying yourselves. The photography and the food look amazing! Thank you for sharing your fantastic journey!
Thanks Sonia! The food is probably more amazing than the photography 😊
Wonderful travelogue of a unique experience. I walked the Camino in 2017 and am doing so again next year, if my photography is anywhere near as good as yours I’ll return home a very happy chap. I really liked your b&w portrait shots. Excellent!
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated 🙂 A second Camino, how wonderful, here's wishing you a fantastic experience, Buen Camino!
I almost cry when I watch VLOGS of pilgrims camino's. I miss the simplicity so much. I just can't wait to get back there
Me too, I still watch as many vlogs as I can on the Camino, and miss being there. Planning another soon!
Thanks for sharing your journey Simon, truly enjoyed it. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
A wonderful adventure, and some beautiful images to boot. I dream of doing the Camino myself sometime, but by cycle rather than on foot. Thank you for sharing your trip.
Thanks Neil, I can't begin to tell how what an amazing experience it was, and I encourage you do it yourself. Lot's of people cycle it, I'm sure it's just as amazing by bike 🙂
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Brought back so many memories from my May-June 2022 Camino.
Thanks for watching. Yes, great memories indeed!
I really enjoyed this Simon. Some beautiful shots. I’m glad you took your time and captured it so well.
Thanks Nick. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to following along as you vlog your Camino. Have a great trip, buen Camino!
Another great film Simon. Always a great story and so well put together
Thanks Ian, appreciate the kind words.
Wonderful video. I´m really surprised because I´m planning to do my Camino this year(2023) in May and I had no idea it was cold like that! Everybody is wearing heavy coats!
It gets a little chilly in the mornings on a few days in the mountains, although most days we only needed a light fleece on in the mornings.
I walked the CF in 2019. Your recount bought back some beautiful memories - thank you & Buen Camino 🙏🏼
Thanks Jose, so glad it brought back those memories! I appreciate your comment. 🙂
@@SimonBurnCreative I’m doing the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon this September 👍🏼
@@Viryamoshka I have yet to do that route, it does look really good from what I have seen. 👍
Estupendo! Gracias!
🙏🏼
Brilliant. Totally engrossed from start to finish. Except of course the Chris De Burgh interlude. But you knew that, obvs 😁👍🏻
Thanks Dave. It's nice to throw in a few surprises once in a while 😆😎
What a cracking collection of memories to have. Obviously it's great to have all the photos (in a book?) but having a video to go along with it just makes recalling the trip even more rewarding. What a great walk, and brilliant that you made some friends along the way.
Thanks Julian, you are correct, this is a great keepsake to watch in the future. A book, hmm, maybe there will be a book, if time allows. I shot 7000 images, so they need to go somewhere🙂
@@SimonBurnCreative That's the only problem with big trips.....lots of photos!
@@jbairdexp oh yeah, I'm like, now what?! lol.
Nice video, great work, thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks Rinos Prod, appreciate the comment 😊
So wonderful! What an adventure. Loved the whole thing. 👏👏👏
Thanks, it was amazing, words aren't enough. Book your flight now, at least do a section. Rioja region would be perfect for you!
I especially found the food photos to my liking, the quality of the images helped. All in all a story superbly told, thanks for all your hard work putting this together.
Thanks for commenting Michael, food is a passion of mine, especially Spanish food, which was delicious every day! Appreciate the comment. 😊
Wonderful! Brought back many memories of having walked various Camino routes in Spain and Portugal. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for commenting, much appreciated! Ah, you've walked the Portuguese route? That's next on my list.
@@SimonBurnCreative You will not be disappointed. I walked from Lisbon to Santiago and beyond. Very different experience to the Frances route: lovely scenery. warm and hospitable people and great food and wine. Enjoy!
Congrats bro, amazing accomplishment 💯💯
Cheers Paul! 😊
Your photos are gorgeous! I'd love to see a slideshow of more of your photos from the Camino....
Thank you, very kind of you to say 🙏🏼
Hello Simon, I the pleasure of watching your video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be doing the Camino Frances in April 2023 - I have converted a golf trolley to a hiking trolley to carry my backpack. Did you see anyone use a hiking trolley? Do you think it is practical. Your comments will be very much appreciated. Cheers
I saw a few people with trolleys, but there are a few spots where the trail is very rough so you would have to go the road route for those sections. The descent down into Molinaseca being one of them.
@@SimonBurnCreative Thank you Simon.
loved watching this, were there may who biked the camino?
Thank you. Yes, many cyclists on the Camino, that's a good way of doing it and seeing everything if you're short on time.
What! You mean you didn't walk all the way back as well? 😆Absolutely loved that Simon. What an adventure. Blimey! That little Nikon is good too.
Haha, I would have loved to, had there been the time to do so. Yup, love my little Z50, it's an amazing camera. 😊
Fantastic. Your skills as a photographer/videographer & all round foodie made this a pleasure to watch. Even the stormy ending was classic. Too many questions about your trip but I'll just ask how did u decide which route to do and why? OK, extra question, did you diarise the trip? regards Al ps Loved the ending.. sad but joyous too.
The route has been in place for hundreds of years, it's a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela Cathedral where the remains of St James reside. I read a lot of books and looked at a lot of videos, and it was clear the route was very scenic, great for a photographer! I did make daily notes, yes. I need to find time to write them up now, maybe turn all this into a book.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
What do you do to protect your camera gear from wet weather? I’m walking the camino in a few weeks and think I will now only take my Nikon D3600 and a 35mm lens. Thanks for sharing the photos.
For cameras and lenses which are not water-resistant I have a shower cap and / or cloth over the gear when raining. An umbrella is a good option too. The Camino I'm walking in May, I'm taking larger pro-level cameras and lenses so they can get wet and I won't have to worry too much.
😍
What a great trip and amazing photos! Really enjoyed watching this video. It looks like you stayed in hotels, hostels, etc during this trip. Or did you spend some nights in a tent?
No tents, we mixed up hotels and hostels for variety. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂
My partner ❤️
Will cherish the memories always. I am so glad that you told me of this thing called “Camino”, and that we made a plan to make it happen. To my favourite Pellegrino, being lost together has never been so fun! 🛫🥾🌿☀️☔️🍻🥘🕍🛬🥰
Same time next year then! 😬😅
Lovely images ! Thank you ) may I asked you if you used the kit zoom lens ? Thanks
Thanks Martin! Yes, I used the 50-250 kit lens for some shots, although it broke half way into the trip (it's very flimsy and easily damaged), so I mostly used a manual focus prime lens from Meike. 35mm f 1.4
Thanks a lot for sharing. Do you huave the list of places where you stay after each walkman?
No lists to share just yet. When time allows, I hope to write up a journal with details, on my website.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Particularly love the b&w portraits of people. I'm walking this year starting mid April. Would you say raincoat or the poncho was better for your walk in 2022?
Thanks! I had a rain coat (shell) for most rainy days and worked well. But we had a couple of days when the rain came down really hard, and a poncho was the only solution to stop us getting drenched through. So my answer, have both! A poncho is light and packs up small, it doesn't need to be a fancy one, I got mine from a dollar store. Buen Camino!
@@SimonBurnCreative thanks so much for your suggestion 😊
@@maureen149 My pleasure 😊
Great Video but the best are the photographs very nice what camera did you bring? Must be not to heavy.
I am starting my Camino frances on the 15th of September i have done three before . greetings from Perth Western Australia 🦘
Thank you Anton. I took a little Nikon Z50 with me, and a 35mm prime lens was my main lens.
how long did you do that and see all the inside towns / cities and villages ? Thanks
Hi are you going to see all these old architecture/ churches along the way in the town / cities / villages ? or are you going to get walk and get inside the to see them ? Am planning to do the Camino from St Jean PDP but doing to ride by bus or train stop by stop to interesting places and cities and just do the Sarria to Santiago to get the certificate. Thanks
Yes, tried to see as much as possibly along the way 🙂 Buen Camino!
Toy took the wrong route on the first day. Should have gone the Napoleon route over the Pernyees
Why? The route I took was fantastic! Also, Napoleon route is closed early April when there is heavy snowfall, it is illegal to use that route.
Sorry, I meant to say I had the pleasure
Simon Burn, a la parte fundamental del Camino que recorre Galicia, le dedicas solo 8 minutos; y a Santiago de Compostela, capital de Galicia, ciudad universal, patrimonio de la humanidad y culminación del Camino, un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Creo que es injusto.
This video represents my experience, it's not a question of being fair. It rained hard most days in Galicia, so it's hard to video too much.
I don't understand the reason for this loud music, which has nothing to do with the lovely scenery. Why ruin what you are filming. Can't watch this.
Did you try turning the volume down?
@@SimonBurnCreative Interesting comment from Jane... I loved the music and how you used the different cuts to segment the video. I guess different strokes....
@@JohnRRogers Yes, it's impossible to please everyone 🙂 Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.
Worst experience in my life. worthless and useless pain experience phisically and mentally. Never ever. Best day i had has been in Porto, after finishing and coming back to real, normal and beautiful life.
Oh that's so sad to hear. We never had any issues and it was the best travel experience we've ever had. Everyone has different expectations and attitudes, that's what makes people so interesting I suppose. 🙂
Interesting comment… why it was so bad? Yea had really great time on Camino.
@@wanderingsagestyle First of all, i guess, you must have a special reason to do so , which i didnt, like a problem to overcome, a shitty life, a real necessity of cutting with normal life, finding peace or new pace, a family problem, a health problem, yours or of other people, or you are exchanging your effort for having something back like healing of a loved one ( from God i guess). me, i was just curious about.
Second, who made the camino frances ( i started from Leon) knows that its is not true at all that is always a matter of beautiful landscapes: 1/3 of the time you walk along a dangerous road, under highway bridges like an illegal migrant, in ugly villages or in awful suburbs around city, in Santiago as well.
Third, being italian, i assure you that Leon and Galizia are nothing special at all compared with our landscapes and villages
Finally, i heard so much people telling me before : “oh, you will see, after the camino you will come back and be different, you will understand many things, its a wonderful experience” and this was coming always from people who needed to change something in there life because they were unsatisfied.
So at the end, what i learned in the camino is that i have a beautiful life like it is and that i dont have to change anything, so the phisycal and mental effort was totally useless.
And you know the funny side of this? I met a lot of people, and at least 3 or 4 of them told me: “ i am very happy that i did the camino because i met you, you are different from others”
So maybe the reason why God sent me to the Camino was to please others
@@SimonBurnCreative in any case this has nothing to do with your pictures, which are really beautiful and i took the time to see all of them. These pictures actually would give me the will of going to the camino if i didnt know anything about.
@Jacopof Bargellini It's interesting to hear people's perspectives, so thanks for sharing. I didn't go to change anything, my life is also pretty good, I just wanted a nice long walk and to experience good food, meet interesting people, and get some nice photos. Sounds like our next adventure should be Italy. 😊
