I've always appreciated your photography and teaching abilities, Alex, but I've definitely been noticing, and enjoying, your evolution as a story-teller over the last few years. Loving this series.

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks so much Sean!

[@Focusing_on_the_light]

Probably one of the best photography episodes I have ever seen. Meaningful,uplifting and heartfelt. Thank you

[@AlexArmitage]

Wow thats a big compliment! Thank you

[@KellyPettit]

Your words are powerful. I almost always think this way but perhaps sometimes forget it. Great to hear from your POV. Thank you.

[@AlexArmitage]

it worked out!

[@MurphyGreg]

Alex, that final shot of the setting sun definitely came together. Love your creative eye and how you explain your intention for a composition. Cheers to BeaUtiful light 🙌☀️

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks so much Greg (Murphy?)

[@billwinward9324]

B-e-a-utiful, so glad you stuck with it.

[@landseaairphotography]

The video and photos of the fishing boat are amazing. Ep 4 one of the best. Keep up the good work.

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks, will do!

[@randyschwager84]

It’s always fun to wake up and find a new adventure from your travels! Your photos, music, and commentary always combine to create inspiration! Thanks for taking me along!

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks as always Randy

[@woflgangdurst6752]

Awesome Video. Stunning scenery and pictures to go along with it! Wolfgang

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Wolfgang

[@owenpeller6471]

Thanks for the look at Newfoundland. I will probably never go there because I don’t have the time to waste on all the bad weather. I realize that there is good weather, which may make a trip worthwhile, but the percentage is too low for me.

[@davidwoods80]

Quite the essay, Alex. Good work as always.

[@AlexArmitage]

Glad you think so!

[@NMOSG]

Thank you for sharing Alex :-) I have to be satisfied with dreaming of having your talent and grateful for having found your beautiful videos. Nature is truly one of life's most spectacular things!

[@AlexArmitage]

Wow, thank you!

Thanks, Sofia 😁

[@barbarachamberlain6918]

Loved that last shot, but also loved your first attempt early on in the video! Wonderful storytelling, Alex.

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Barbara!

[@mitchellmysliwiecphotography]

I love the journey you take us on. B E A utiful work!

[@davidgillespie6604]

I really enjoyed this episode, and all the preceding. I particularly felt the advice at about 6 min. Thanks.

[@AlexArmitage]

So glad :)

[@abandonedwest]

My goodness, Alex. I'm not done watching yet, but image 10, I can't even. It made me gasp, and I paused the video and just looked at it for the longest time. ❤

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Andrew :)

[@jsimes1]

I get it, it must be frustrating to miss a shot (although I think the shot you did get was wonderful) but I think it's worth remembering that even though you are a photographer you are also a storyteller and a videographer. The drone shots and establishing b-roll that you get are great and oh so necessary to the narrative you are trying to tell. But I'm sur you know all this! 😊 As far as giving up is concerned I'm glad you didn't either ... some of those shots you got had me all nostalgic for a trip I took to the west coast of Scotland. Darrell Scott wrote "Well, today was once tomorrow And today's tomorrows' yesterday" in a song called "There's no use living for today" which sounds like the opposite of what you were saying but I don't think it is! 😁

[@AlexArmitage]

Great quote!

[@AsaWildman]

Love your usage of Drew Holcomb. Perfect for many reasons. Also, love LOTR!

[@AlexArmitage]

Have you listened to the Sirkis audiobook?

[@deanpratley125]

When you put all the specs of the first photo. It looks like you may have used a CPL to clear up the glare on the sea. Did you use one? I would have. Looks awesome. Good shot Alex!

[@AlexArmitage]

Im sure I did! I don't typically include accessories in the descriptions as I can't always remember.

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Superb video 👍🙂

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Stig :)

Why are you not replacing your livingroom window?

[@AlexArmitage]

$$$

[@NorthEvergreenPhoto]

Alex, you seem to park up for the night in some pretty random parking spots on your adventures, do you ever have issues with the police or the locals?

[@AlexArmitage]

In Newfoundland? Never. Otherplaces, very very rarely.

[@recreationalplutonium]

where is nufunland?

[@AlexArmitage]

Still looking for it :)
