Finally a real photographer on Amanda's youtube channel! After Adam Gibbs left I wasn't sure if this channel would last.

Right? At least this one comes cheap... #inflation

For the record, your Loon and Bald Eagle calls were right on! We’ll make a birder out of you some day! I’ll need to bring you along to call the birds in.

[@fototripper]

heheheh well I'm not cheap...

[@jonglass]

"Aren't you that Thomas fellow who does those sky replacements..." Brutal! I have to say your hidden talent is getting others to go along with all your shenanigans--and it's a true gift! I think I laughed harder with this video than most. The new "talent" is great!

[@TheeJaneDoe]

It's the Batman and Robin duo of landscape photography 🙃

[@jremi]

Very hilarious footage with Simon who had a real hard time keeping a straight face. I am following many photographers, many of whom are in Great Britain and northern Europe. However, this channel here has got to be the funniest, while being very informative. The fact that both Gavin Hardcastle and Simon d'Entremont are fellow Canadians is just icing on the cake.

[@SovietLensReviews]

21 minutes has never gone by so quickly! On the edge of my seat waiting for part 2 Gavin, loved the Cameos from the guys in this one as well.

[@brianmckeever5280]

"You don't know the half of it." So funny. Nice to see a couple more foils for your wit! Should we expect an Uncle Grumpy is jealous video in our future? More please!

Let's hope but you might need to pester him.

Comedy gold has been resumed, glad to see you back Gavin....and the lovely Amanda of course! lol

[@anthonybostock4854]

Wooooohoo great to see you guys back, looking good.

[@CreativeImagery]

Hey Gavin, enjoyed the video. I am the photographer with the bucket/pole. It is actually a blue bucket that is painted black. For a number of years, I taught nightscape photography at this location. There is a stretch of approximately 5 nights every two weeks when the tides accommodate being down there just after full dark. Unfortunately, park policy has changed and access is now forbidden after the park closes for the evening.

[@simon_dentremont]

Gavin, we found him! Lol

[@fototripper]

Ah the fun police most always ruin everything. Do we get a link to your photo?

[@amandadean33]

Excellent as always, and Amanda testing that seaweed was classic 🤣

[@andykennerley8159]

It's good to see you both back doing wot you do best hope all is good with you both 👍 🇬🇧

[@Tom_Graham]

Great to see the two of you back!

[@brianlemke6017]

Really looking forward to you learning bird photography Gavin. Simon is a great talent for you to emulate. Adam probably did all he could for you on the left coast, the landscape side. Good luck …… from the left coast. Cheers, great job.

[@luboinchina3013]

This video was like a birthday present. Right at the time when I am supposed to get first clean moonless night at the dark location after a half year break caused by my equatorial mount being broken down and really bad spell of weather. I wish I would get the same clear skies as you got.

[@jimsmith556]

Love the band of merry men and beautiful astrophotography. The light painting worked a charm on that stack to balance the street lamp. Looking forward to the sunrise video!

[@RickMentore]

I thoroughly enjoyed that! Eagerly awaiting part II!

[@mazdaram226]

Love the abstract face on the sea stack from the cave ..

[@MrFirstdance2000]

As much as I enjoy your photo tips, composition and, sense of deep woods humor, the smile of your beautiful mate is such a welcoming site when I go to your channel to watch the latest! Thank you sir, for your production quality and shared experience.

[@jaimemontilla7675]

I can relate to the bucket and pole. I once used my car's floor carpets, camera bag and umbrellas to cover some ground lights pointing upwards. You got to improvise........

[@johnreed9111]

Hi Amanda, Relieved to see that you are hanging on in there in sunny Nova Scillities. I find I’m slightly missing those clips where you send your van driver Gawain off on perilous, pointless quests to very remote lookouts. When he remembers to drag the camera away from his face and point it at the scenery, he gets some surprisingly adequate snaps! Isn’t Photoshop amazing. Do remember to follow Gawain’s example and bulk up in time for the imminent winter. Maybe gather lots of straw too, because it’s going to be cold hibernating in your huge new shed. Chin up and keep smiling!

[@DavidSwarthout]

Haha. I wondered who was going to be your straight man now that you've left The Grumpacious One back on the west coast. Well done, Gavin, and very funny. Looking forward to Part II.

[@fototripper]

Grumpton was the straight man? I thought I was?

[@johnpouw3352]

Awesome combination of photographers and a very funny video. Looking forward to part 2. :)

[@perfectlylonely]

@9:13 I really liked this composition presentation. You and the subject framed by the rocks. For humor, this video was one of your best since moving to Nova Scotia.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

I do like me some sea stacks too and boy those looked tasty !! Looking forward to next week already, I’ll have some stacks of my own but not as interesting as those ones I feel !!

[@Professor_Internet_PhD]

Great chemistry with Simon, was kinda hoping for a bloopers reel at the end :)

[@fototripper]

He was already too good on his first try so no bloopers.

[@gunny2044]

You nailed the Loon and the Bald Eagle... Vey impressive.

[@jeremyncrm2012]

I love my 14-24 Sigma, great lens! Happy to see a video, been missing them weekly, but I understand you have a lot going on!

[@taraelizabethlivinglife4094]

As always, it was so good to see you and Amanda and to be introduced to your photo friends. Those sea stacks were gorgeous and I loved the astro photos, even with the lamp post lighting. ♥️

[@blivieriphoto]

Pretty massive sea stacks. Glad to see you back on the you tubes...

[@spidersj12]

"orange sand and mud..." that's because the majority of the upper end of the Bay of Fundy, like Hopewell Rocks, are sedimentary rocks, as opposed to the Oregon and Washington coast are igneous basalts. I've owned the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 lens for two years, and it's my most used lens and I use it for astrophotography, but I want a Sigma 24mm F1.4 for wide angle astrophotography. For deeper sky images, I want the Sigma 135mm F1.8. You'll want to get a Kase drop-in light pollution filter that fits in right in front of your sensor for any lens including the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8, or if you don't have the huge bulbous lens attached get a Nisi or Kase square 100mm x 100mm light pollution filter on a filter system bracket, getting rid of the wavelengths of light associated with sodium, mercury vapour and LED street lights, will take care of most light pollution that messes up astrophotos. WIth the 500 rule and a 40mm lens, if you don't want star trails and relatively pin point stars your maximum exposure time is a shutter speed = 500 / focal length, that's just 12.5 seconds. Now if you want to get 5 minutes of integration time you can use free software like Deep Sky Stacker to stack multiple exposures to get 50 minutes, you'll need 24 exposures.

Glad to see you back amongst the living. Absolutely fantastic shots! Looking forward to the second instalment.

[@slowlyrusting4044]

I read a lot of comments regarding the fact that you didn't remove the yellow sign on one of the astro/sea stack images. I don't agree one bit with any of those people. You should remove the sea stacks and keep the sign.

[@davidskinner274]

Reminds me of the twelve apostles and other sea stacks on the Grsat Ocssan Road in Victoria Austrakia with the tourists wrecking the sand with footprints.on the beach. I arrived one time in the dark before sunrise and a tourist bus was alrady in the car park

[@pamo1166]

I loved this video of the sea stacks and you and Amanda! I see you met some new friends that you can bond with. 😂 Your shots were gorgeous! I liked all of them even the one in the beginning of the video. I’m wondering if you got a good sunrise shot. Simon is a wealth of information! I hope you can show videos more often and how is your house coming along?

[@fototripper]

That front element on the 14-24 is monsterous. I would scratch it just by looking at it.

I am a wildlife photog at heart so I have been a follower of Simon's from his beginnings. But, recently I have really gotten into landscape, mainly because of Adam, but, that's besides the point.

Heya glad you back Fototripper ! I saw last weeks update that you been rocking a flue, so I went and found solace in Adam Gibbs channel and I was thinking how cool it would be if I made that joke: Pepsi… only when Coke is not available.

I'm pretty sure the ornithological term for that type of bird is Shite Hawk!
