A Wildlife Photographer’s Dream Trip: Capturing Puffins in Newfoundland

Join me on an unforgettable wildlife photography journey in Newfoundland, where I fulfilled a long-time dream of photographing puffins. Ever since I picked up a camera and discovered my love for wildlife, this trip has been high on my lists. In this video, I explore breathtaking landscapes, capture stunning low-light puffin shots, and share the ups and downs of wildlife photography in one of Canada's most beautiful provinces. I hope this video inspires you to get out and explore the wildlife wonders of nature, no matter where you are.

[@CurtisSnapshot]

Thank you so much!

[@emilylee5353]

Epic adventure. Beautiful photos. Animals can sense your respect. That's why they got so close to you. I wish all humans were as thoughtful!

[@CurtisSnapshot]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it.

[@Adrian.Mueller]

Just one word: Majestic! Everything from the landscape shots to the birds and the storytelling. Loved it as always!

[@CurtisSnapshot]

It’s 100% worth the trip! Thank you for commenting, glad you enjoyed!

[@jenniferdacreativeexplorer]

I absolutely love your video, Curtis! The pictures you have the Puffins yawning and peaking from behind the rocks are incredible (and the flying ones...OK...all of them!). What an incredible and magical experience to be in the presence of Puffins. That will be a trip to remember for a life time. I can't wait to go myself! And a BIG THANK you to you for keeping your distance and not putting stress on the Puffins despite them being curious about you. Thanks for this video! You did such a great job!!

[@CurtisSnapshot]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and the puffin photos. It was such an incredible experience, one I'll never forget, and I'm sure you'll have an amazing time when you go to see them! I also really appreciate your kind words about keeping a respectful distance-it’s something I always strive for when photographing wildlife, and I did my very best to keep it in mind, even in those exciting moments!

[@keithmacdonald4805]

Wow, what a great video Curtis!! It is also my dream to go to Newfoundland and photograph Puffins, definitely on my bucket list. What time of the year were you there. Thanks for sharing your experience and great shooting in the future!

[@CurtisSnapshot]

I was in Newfoundland at the start of July, and there was a ton of puffin activity. I’ve heard that if you don’t mind the cold, you can go a bit earlier to avoid the peak tourist season. Thanks for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@porter12e35]

I know it takes a lot for you to get out of your home province and or country but I think if you came to Alaska, you’d have a trip of a lifetime

[@CurtisSnapshot]

I can imagine! I definitely want to go on a fully dedicated wildlife trip someday. Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@newmans_world]
