Paradise Michigan, Tahquamenon Falls, Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Point, and more!

[@billclisham8668]

I wish you had covered more of the shipwreck museum. I can't recommend that place highly enough and you really should stop by when you are in the UP.

[@airstreamer]

Thanks for watching. We will be going back this summer. We might revisit the amazing Shipwreck Museum.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks for watching. We plan to make a return trip. A new video will be on our sister channel, @AirStreamer in the future.

[@nikegirl1]

Hello, we are going to Tahquamenon Falls next month and I am watching videos to see everything about it. Your video has got me even more excited about going. Thank you so much for sharing this. Beautiful ! 😍

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Glad it was helpful! I also have a travel channel with more videos about Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. Here's the Michigan playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLwIiFwTgkQ_uGMl2sWV-RNPBMYHbnlYK7 We are in the UP through mid September. Ironically we are staying at Tahquamenon Falls SP right now and will be here through the end of August.

[@nikegirl1]

@@VintageInsightPhotography That is awesome. We are coming up there really soon. Mid September. I will check out your other channel and thank you so much for sharing.

Hey guys looks like you had a great trip despite the naff conditions for photographing the falls and forgetting the tripod ! You make a great duo especially when Michelle takes over a la Joanna ha ha ! Paradise looked a great choice and a popular spot by the water . One thing I do enjoy when out photographing is meeting people (although I don’t often bump into many at sunrise at the top of a mountain!) Always good to chat and I must get some cards printed too ! Loved the museum and all its artefacts too. Have a great weekend and hope you both had a fab time 👍🏻

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks, Andrew. It was a great, and needed, quick getaway. I see more travel vlogging in our future. We really have a ball traveling, filming, and putting these together. Glad to hear it comes through in the final product.

[@michellefisher724]

Thanks Andrew! We had a great weekend. The falls are so powerful. Joanna’s boldness has inspired me, I’m pretty shy ON camera, would much rather be on the side of filming. Lol.

Hey guys, thanks for sharing this video Great work great photographs Really enjoyed it

[@WalterStinnettPhotography]

Thanks for sharing you all's trip, James! I have only visited Michigan once and it was in the lower portion of the state so this was a real treat to see this area! The waterfalls and the beach area were fantastic! Great video!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks, Walter. Michigan is such a varied and beautiful State. Mountains, powder-soft beaches, craggy shores, forests, farmland, and urban centers. Thanks for watching and your kind words.

[@Joel4JC]

Thanks for the shoutout, that was gracious of you!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks for the coffee! It was delicious... plus, it was Michelle's first shoutout!

Brilliant James Fisher, Video, wonderful makeup Video James, A trip to Paradise, Great Video theme

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks, Tony. We had a great time, for sure. Good to hear you enjoyed what we put together.

[@davefox5617]

We've been going to Tahquamenon every year for the past 6 years. One of my favorite places on Earth!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

It's beautiful! We will be back in the UP this June, but not near Tahquamenon. Thanks for watching!

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Absolutely enjoy your travel vlogs. Fun to explore areas not that distant. It is amazing some of the most beautiful areas are sometimes nearly in our backyard!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks so much for watching! It’s really appreciated. Michigan is truly a beautiful state.

[@michellefisher724]

Thanks for watching!

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

We were in the Upper Peninsula Yesterday Riding Trails, we stopped at Tahquamenon Falls on our way back. Beautiful.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Michigan’s UP is beautiful. We always really enjoy our time spent there.

[@riversandcoffee]

First time over... Great video and channel. Super fun and informative...thanks 😊

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@Robert-Bishop]

Paradise looks great, you're making me really jealous again! The falls looked pretty epic and loved all the shots around 6:34 👍 Whitefish Point looks amazing too. Definitely some places to add to the travel list - especially if I can get one of those burgers too! 😄

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

The burgers were great! And who could resist having a “Cheeseburger In Paradise?” Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It means the world to me.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Looks like a fun trip to Paradise 😃 cool looking falls 😎

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks so much. Glad you could come along for the journey.

[@LetsClickPhotography]

So funny thing, I was watching this earlier today on my phone whilst I was cleaning the kitchen. It got to the point where you said 'absolutely the worst lighting conditions......' and my phone went completely black. I honestly thought it was a James Fisher prank! Took me about 20 seconds to decide it must be my phone - and it was, the battery had given out. So I watched as a game of two halves. Looks like you both a great time.....and a great burger. Nice to see some of the sights of Paradise and Whitefish

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

HAHAHAHA! Yes, that DOES sound like something I would do! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It's really appreciated!

[@michellefisher724]

I laughed out loud Dave when I read your comment! 🤣😆 hopefully your phone is ok.

[@paulkennedycreativemedia]

🤣 love the names of these places you guys visit. Such powerful waterfalls. Looks amazing

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

The Hell, you say! 😂😂😂 I think we will skip Colon and Climax... both in Michigan. We ALMOST visited the fudge factory in Uranus... MO. Maybe this could become a "Top 10 Funniest City Names" video! 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!

Cool! Somewhere that I have actually been in Michigan! Yup, a little better than Hell, but I am sure that the people who live in that part of Michigan would disagree :-) Happy Anniversary! Looks like you had a great time enjoying yourselves. Great stuff indeed! Take care now and hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Bruce and Otis

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 😁😁 It was a perfect quick getaway, and a great spot for puns… right up our alley. 🎳 You take care also, and keep enjoying life!

[@laffilmfest3759]

Great video......I subbed and thank U for sharing!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Glad to have you along for the adventure!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Another fun trip! Sounded like the Ohio folks were from Alliance - I used to go to a flea market there as a kid. Whitefish Point looks stunning.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

We had a terrific time! I expect we will be doing more travel vlogging as time rolls on. Thanks for watching and commenting, Dave. It means the world to me. I'm getting itchy to try out that Mamiya C220! It will be at least two weeks before I can run a roll of Fomapan through it. I might do a riff off your channel, if that's ok... small town Michigan.

[@paulcookphotography]

Great video Jim! I love seeing my old state again. So beautiful in the summer, especially the UP! Great shots at Taq Falls in tough shooting conditions. Those are my fav waterfalls I've ever been to. JoAnna loves that she has a reputation of a "camera stealer" and appreciates the recognition of her skills! The women are always more popular Jim! Loved seeing the Shipwreck Museum again, one of the few museums I've actually enjoyed. Great video Jim and Michelle, we really enjoyed it! Have a great 4th of July weekend!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks, Paul. As I mentioned to Andrew, I see more of this travel vlogging in our future. I need to get Michelle her own vlogging gear… 🤔 You guys have a great weekend and holiday too! We’re staying home, we don’t like traveling on holidays. Maybe a joint venture in the future?… turn the wives loose while we do landscape… 💡

[@paulcookphotography]

@@VintageInsightPhotography sounds like an interesting idea with the wives! We'll have to talk about that! I'm currently setting up a GoPro rig for JoAnna for the trip to WV so she doesn't have to steal my camera! Now she can vlog whenever she wants to!

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

@pc3photos Paul Cook Photography , that's the type of gear I was thinking of for Michelle. My next vlogging purchase will be a 360 camera... maybe an Insta360 Go2 would work for Michelle. 🤔

[@michellefisher724]

Hi Paul & JoAnna! Hope you are both well. I’m excited for your upcoming trip. I look forward to seeing you both in your travels and adventures. Thanks JoAnna for inspiring me to be bolder. I just have to get more comfortable talking on the vlogs so it doesn’t take 5 takes to say one phrase 🤣🙄😆 Lol

I love it up there…I started in mackinaw city and went to whitefish point…I had my feet in the water of three different Great Lakes within a couple of hours…way cool

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan truly is a beautiful place. The "way coolest" lake is, of course, Superior. I swear it never gets warm! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

Another great travel vlog James, looks like you and Michelle had a great time. That's some volume of water running over those falls! The Fuji did well with the long exposures and no tripod, that goodness for Image Stabilisation - I had similar conditions in my last vlog, no proper tripod, just a small vlogging tripod and had to balance it on the railings to get a shot.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks, Andrew. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. The lighting was the absolute worst! I only shared that segment to show off the OIS in that lens. A handheld shot like that was impossible before image stabilization. I have a real love/hate relationship with modern lenses, but this is definitely one of the “love” features! Take care and keep enjoying life.

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

@@VintageInsightPhotography yeah IS is one of the reasons I love the FZ82 I use occasionally. Being able to shoot at 1/8th of a second hand held is amazing. Back in my film days anything under 1/60th was out.

[@michellefisher724]

Thank you for watching Andrew, yes the falls are very powerful!

[@Images-by-Ramona]

You guys are so adorable

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

Thanks! We have a ball putting these videos together. We are hoping to do more like this one, and our *Epic Road Trip* series And, _(it's a secret, so don't tell Michelle!)_ I'm getting her her own vlogging camera. Thanks for stopping by!

[@AnnMitt]

Can you share the name of the airbnb that you stayed at?

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

It was an OK place. Definitely not the best Airbnb we’ve stayed, but not the worst. It’s one of the better ones in St. Ignace. abnb.me/aAl2CwuOakb

[@AnnMitt]

@@VintageInsightPhotography thanks for sharing. Seems to be hit or miss in the UP.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

@@AnnMitt yes. The absolute best Airbnb we ever stayed was in Martin, Tennessee… or maybe Flagstaff AZ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4izgWidbsRrZqs The worst was in Davenport Iowa. 🤢

[@CurtTerpstra]

What is an Aribnb? (0:57) Why didn't you use the fence for the longer exposure for help in stabilization. The picture do look great. Thanks for the pictures of the Edmund Fitzgerald display. That was really nice to see.

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

The Amish are known for keeping flaws in their work, because only God is perfect. I knew you would be the one to spot that. It helps me know who’s really watching. 😉 I intentionally wanted to see how good the OIS was in that situation. I was pretty impressed. The Shipwreck Museum is amazing, and very moving.
