This Newfoundland Landscape Photographer Wouldn't Get Out Of My Shot!

Get Your Book: www.fototripper.com/stories-w...
We embark on a journey to Newfoundland, a haven for puffin enthusiasts. I was in for a surprise as these charming creatures showcased their somewhat brazen and dramatic side.
Amanda and I visited a charming old Newfoundland home turned art gallery. We felt 7 feet tall. These Newfoundland puffins have a lot of character and perform all kinds of stunts for our amusement. The gulls have plenty to say, too.
While photographing a spectacular sunset at Tickle Cove, Gord Follet refuses to get out of my shot, and the scene turns into a cluster. I try to engage Gord in conversation and encourage him to start a KZbin channel, but he's having none of it.
I'm quite taken by these Newfoundland fishing stages that we see everywhere but what's the story with the tarped plaques? I have a theory.
Gord and I take our group to Tickle Cove, where the conditions are perfect for landscape photography. We capture some spectacular images.
We take a hike to Chance Cove before heading to Twillingate, where we begin our hunt for icebergs, but all we find are giant sea stacks. For sunset, we see the Newfoundland version of the 'Old Man of Storr' right there on the coast.
Is that an eagle or an osprey? Will Gord respond with full sentences, and when will he cough up $20 for that new profile picture I shot? How big are these Newfoundland puffins in real life? If I compose the shot but Amanda hits the shutter, who's shot is it?
There's really only one way to find out.

Looking forward to it! Don't forget to have Amanda sign ours too 👌🤝

I want Amandas signature too. And Unicorn Stickers 😀

[@tamasnemeth2161]

Sad to see that you're on a downward trajectory. Hopefully you will bounce back with your third book! 💪

[@Myles995]

I have attempted to order it twice, but it isn't letting me. I saw a PayPal option, but it wont let me go into, or use it? HELP ME SUPPORT YOU! ;-)

[@fototripper]

@@Myles995 That's odd. Please contact me through here www.fototripper.com/contact-us/ and I'll search the cart for your email to see what's going on.

That's an osprey :)

Your wildlife dubbing is the greatest thing I've ever heard

[@montanaylago]

I haven’t laugh so hard in a while!!!😂😂😂

[@brentwilson2467]

@@montanaylago "You don't kiss me enough." That was right up there with the inch worm lost on the kit bag!

[@lesjoyeuxexplorateurs1179]

I have to agree!

[@geartechstuff3592]

Better than a Johnny Morris (Animal Magic)! Lol 😂

[@fototripper]

@@brentwilson2467 the inch worm will always be No 1.

[@nsbhagwat]

You should start voice over services as a side gig. That conversation was marvellous.

[@mikefoster6018]

I'm a puffin, after I've been on me treadmill.

[@scottvk75]

When I saw the shot with the two photographers and light ray through the arch - I literally said "Wow".

[@jeffolson4731]

I would keep them in the picture. The yellow rain jacket contrasts nicely with the scene and the people give the image scale. Lovely Osprey. It isn't often you get a vantage point above the nest.

[@zwsplac]

The puffin commentary cracked me up. You could make a live action nature movie with commentary, and it would be a hit. *BURRRRRRRRRRRP*

[@MarkFloyd7451]

The Burps were great. Where were the farts?

[@alangardner8596]

The old masters of landscape painting knew what they were doing and always included figures in their landscapes.

[@simonsenkim2842]

Fantastic microphone you have got - picking up that puffin conversation effortlessly. 😂

[@timfarmer5535]

As a landscape photographer myself I can confirm, that is a bird on that rock.

[@montanaguy51]

That sequence with the talking animals was awesome! I’ve always loved talking animals!! 😂

[@sagaloo1]

Eat your heart out Johnny Morris, one for the UK older viewers ;-)

[@gregdarroch1946]

I loved the puffin & seagull conversations. Didn’t realise they speak English.

[@fototripper]

Weirdly, with a Yorkshire accent, too.

[@she_has_no_name5406]

Would of been extra hilarious with newfie accents 🤣

[@JeffWeymier]

I really like how the channel has morphed over the past year or so. Still silly like we like it and a bit more learning and concentrating on the location and its beauty. Great work Gavin. Such a beautiful place.

[@Tofushoots]

For the life of me, I will never understand how you don't have so many more subscribers. Your content is so good.

[@fototripper]

The shadowbanning lives on. It's my unnacceptable views.

[@davidhuth5659]

When Gavin read that sign "Beware of cliff" I was expecting an annoying character named Cliff to jump out of the woods.

[@robertgall92]

The choice of music was absolutely spot on for this video, Gavin. Nice work!

[@joehusband8479]

Gavin that 16 minutes was packed full of epic scenery. Superb photo (leave the people in the shot. Gives a nice perspective of scale). Loved the voice over with the Puffins, it was hilarious. Those cabins looked brilliant. Nice one mate 👌

[@brandigonwa7848]

The bird an Osprey..love the landscape

[@r2drone227]

Leave them in. Gives good scale and I like the yellow jacket👍

[@sh8736]

People ok, camera gear not so good, tricky edit that one but I’m sure you can try it out!

[@grat2010]

With people in the photo, it's more of a story being told and it gives perspective to the size of the arch. Without them it's more of a pure landscape photo. So I guess it's what you want to convey.

[@23432]

I like the people and tripods in the shot. I like tripods. It does make me wonder what can be seen from there. In today's world, it takes no more effort to remove them, than to paint and click. OR add people to the shot where needed! Who doesn't love Puffins? Great vid.

[@janyemans]

OMG! We need more of the birds. That was fantastic.

[@FredMast]

You and Amanda are a pair to draw to. Thanks for being yourselves, sans preaching about technique. Good stories, well told..

[@dronepilotcontractors4094]

People in that shot is excellent!

[@slowlyrusting4044]

Definitely an osprey. Leave the people in the shot, they bring a sense of scale to the image.

[@calmdown888]

WELL WORTH the wait. Thanks for letting us tag along. AGAIN!

[@LausitzExplorer]

Keep the guys in the picture! What a beautiful spot and composing.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Man the light and that arch were just sublime. I think your cohost must come to Ireland to kiss the Blarney stone and improve his speaking skills.😂

[@GodIsReal]

Wahahaha! The bird voices are brilliant! 😂😂😂

[@stephenlanders]

Yes the yellow jacket is part of the scene i would leave it in great video and love the puffin talking

[@Professor_Internet_PhD]

The panoramic shots of the arch and the beams of light are sensational, though I'd say 1 person in the frame is better than 2. I didn't see one without people in it. The way the foreground rocks are lit in that first pano is just great, and the beam hits the person; couldn't be better timed. Oh, and the animal voice-overs were hilarious.

[@user-tz2qe9mi9b]

Spirit of Johnny Morris lives on! (Animal Magic)

[@valpayne2963]

Wow! Some gorgeous shots. Loads of texture and magic light. Loved your bird voices and laughed out loud. Thank you!

[@JohnKeane-do7bw]

Gavin -- love the puffin comedy routine! Who knew that puffins were so cheeky! Looking forward to receiving your new book.

[@rongallacher8216]

That’s a Osprey juvenile on the nest Gavin fantastic shots as per usual. Well done.

[@BrentHall]

Man, that place looks incredible! Love the Osprey find too.

[@Andyhelliwellphotography]

great humour with the puffins !! proper laugh out loud !

[@christophermartin7973]

Great fun watching this one. Met Gord for a day of instruction a few years ago. Great photographer and nice guy. I've often said this will be the next Iceland with photographers flocking here for the icebergs (when the come), rocky cliffs, and great scenery.

[@mikeinmontana8875]

You both make our day. We don't watch tv much at all anymore, even those commercials are unreal. We still often take showers in water/soap, wasn't that as designed already so many years ago now?...No all body stick deodorants for us, pretty gross. And the explanation on where to use it. Dinner -time. Really? Is anything real? Who comes up with this stuff?🤢😄 I agree with the posts below about your editing technique Gavin. Was already laughing pretty good and then the shot of the Puffin jumping so hard to land on the next, very close rock. I must name him Mike too.... Perfection. You both are a real treasure to keep track of. A laugh along with fantastic photography, it always just works! All the very best to you both. Mike & Kathy~🤝 ~Very looking forward to our second best book in history....knucklehead~😛

[@colleenkl]

Great video. I especially loved the talking Puffins!!!!🤣 Really enjoying your segments on Newfoundland.

[@fgalaxie123]

The puffin conversation was the best. No wait, the light ray coming through the wave was the best. No wait, the rugged coastline, well you get the point. This was a great video. I liked the Sony framing of the rugged coastline and how the water was running through the bottom corner of the frame.

[@wimair_at]

He’s burping, I‘m liking!

[@paulseymour7485]

Osprey and keep the people in the shot. Super voice overs !!!

[@pedzsan]

I like how you use your drone shots. It adds a lot to the overall effectiveness of your videos.

[@Chromatomic]

Not sure it could get more tresmendous than that, what a coastline.

[@rolandrickphotography]

Those ruthless photographers, always in the picture 😄😄😄

[@she_has_no_name5406]

Bloody penguins! 😂🐧... Gord was definitely smokin something 🤣

[@fredintheshead]

Great video as normal, as for the shot, always without people for me!

[@VivianLund]

I’m behind on watching your videos, Gavin. Wow, is this an amazing tour de force! Loved the puffins and leave the people in that awesome shot!!

[@richarddenise3886]

Hall of Fame worthy video! Great job. Fantastic use of your drone as well!

[@kuriouskhemist3395]

Newfoundland puffins - straight outta Yorkshire! Love the coastal shots. Breathtaking...

Stunning scenery and images Gavin, thank you for sharing !

[@user-pz3qp8ny1x]

Photoshop them out, too beautiful to have people take away from it IMHO

Love the puffin voice overs! Makes me want to book a trip

[@scooter5193]

Wonderful landscapes as usual- the bird is an Osprey.

[@hybboul7377]

What incredibly beautiful photos ! ❤ Thanks for sharing

[@sstarr1310]

Perfect! Beautiful landscapes, excellent drone work, golden light and talking puffins! What more could you ask for!

[@benruset]

Just absolutely stunning work, Gavin. The scenery up there is breathtaking.

[@kyralichtenstein2971]

Beautiful thanks for sharing your experience there.

[@dw.in.michigan]

That bird was the Simonus d'Entremontus, known for having wings, feathers, and a beak. Great sea arch shot, but you should have waited until a wave washed away the people,... or you could just Photoshop them out. You mentioned the toikets in House Hardcastle. If they dont have bidet functionality, you shoukd consider it. It's a game changer, a whole new lifestyle. Canadian government may not let you have the diesel-powered models, but regular water pressure should do nicely. Thanks for the video! Got my weekly fix of tresmendous photogasms.

[@zuckshot]

Best video so far!

[@kevindailey8861]

Thanks!

Thank you Kevin :)

[@johnpropp737]

[@SloopJohnBee-vq6dw]

Love the shot around 14:30 man! Wonderful drone video made me think that is kind of what the gulls and birds see every day. But I doubt they appreciate the beauty 🥲

Aaw lovely video Gavin..yet again..😊

[@FIVE-FOOTLyth]

What more can I say? Love ya, Gavin! 😄👍

[@CelebratingOutdoors]

Wonderful show !

[@NeilArthurs]

Hahah that voice over for the birds was gas!! 😂 The sky really turned on the lights for ya in that last shot. Really wonderful 👍 I am just as useless with my bird knowledge as I am with ownership of images etc so I won't mention either 😅😂 Cheers 👍

[@noh2489]

The bird is a juvenile gull, they start off that colour but once they discover their taste for chips! (French fries for your American audience) they change their plumage to a white colour to blend in with ice cream vans, there they can wait before diving for their prey. To be honest its a long way for it to be blown off course from Whitby so its probably an osprey.

[@joeret2896]

Brilliant skit with the puffins and the gulls funny. Btw that is an Osprey on that nest not an Eagle. Beautiful sight for a workshop. ❤❤❤

[@alansmith3885]

You should photoshop them into Chuffin Puffins! That would be a killer photo then.

[@grahamjgreen]

I had this happen in Acadia National Park, but it wasn't a single photographer, it was a landscape photography workshop group that set up in front of me.

[@fototripper]

Did you give them the "I got here first" line?

[@zadokwest]

Totally inspired seeing these areas & landscapes I’ve never seen or before amazing. Cheers Gavin.

[@brianmckeever5280]

Those are terrific images! I think I like the people in the landscape to give them scale. The color of the rocks and the contrast with the color of the sea is terrific!

[@Bob4golf1]

I would "shop" them out of the picture so you have both versions. Might come in handy. Osprey for sure!

[@lightmeetslens]

What a terrific trip, I didn't realize you were heading out to NL, I almost went a week before your workshop. With the perfect scenery you captured, now I regret missing it, great video Gavin!

[@gavinBsussex]

Drawing from my many years experience as a bird photographer, i can confirm the bird you enquired about was a green tailed Woopecker. Hope that helps?

[@jasondain8713]

Nice shots and video! Thanks for sharing

[@scottchenoweth4937]

Sending much love to Amanda and you from central Texas. Keep up the good work and the fun videos.

[@GOCCOPROUK]

Very reminiscent of Jonny Morris TV. Thanks Gavin brought back the old days 😂

[@reddogtwelve]

Another great vid Gavin, thanks! I say leave the photogs in the pic - adds a nice element. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to receive my copy of the new book!
