if Amanda wants to do a whale tour. Briar Island is the place to go!! decent lighthouse on the island as well. and only two short ferry rides to get there
Late September to early October is the best time to visit Meat Cove. The leaves are a riot of colours and there are no bugs. We go to Meat Cove again this October.
That butterfly at 27:28 just made my day (I was miserable before). It's the little things that make this channel so special to me. And of course because it is aimed at an adult and professional audience, without any other bullshit or clowning around.
Gavin, where to start? First off, welcome again to our beautiful province of Nova Scotia. Yes, the weather is changeable and the bugs are bad, at times, but I'm sure you'll get used to that and learn all the tricks of the trade on how to beat back those nasty bastards. Concerned about DEET. Weeelll, I've been using DEET since I was ten years old and that was fifty-five years ago and I have managed to sire two children and nobody runs and screams when they see my face so it can't be all that bad.DEET, it's kind of like Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale. Those who like it, like it a lot! In regards to your latest landscape photography video. It truly touched my heart that you have found one of the many many hidden gems that Nova Scotia has to offer. When I saw the drone footage flying in towards the shore with those spectacular cliffs and rolling hills. Let's face it. They're hills, not mountains. I've been to BC and Alberta and we both know THOSE are mountains! Sorry I digress, back to the footage. I immediately knew it was MEAT COVE. Only having been there once, about twelve years ago, it is indeed an unforgettable sight and one I hope to visit again soon. I'm soon going to retire, well, semi-retire, who can live on what the government doles out to you, and I will have more time to travel to that end of the province and explore the beautiful Cape Breton Highlands. Now, on to your images. The back-lit Lupine shots, Spectacular but I am always a sucker for those intimate landscapes. You can blame Uncle Grumpy for that. Trying to get that Lupine, cottage, Mountain shot in that wind you were hoping would die down. Yeah, I felt your frustration there buddy. I was thinking, why doesn't he just go further back, use a telephoto lens and not have to capture multiple images for focus stacking? Then you pulled out the big guns and captured what I felt was an orgasmic image of those lupins even if it was an intimate image without the majestic background. Pure maritime gold there my friend. I have to tell you. That entire island in autumn will blow your socks off. You will have so many photogasms that you'll have to wear rubber pants or carry a few changes of clothes. As for waterfalls and the ability to access those that need the assistance of a rope. A word to the wise. If the rope, usually discarded nylon fisherman's rope, seems dry and very rough in texture, not slick and slippery. BEWARE. The ultraviolet light tends to give those ropes dry rot and I personally wouldn't trust them. A quick trip to a fishing supply store (the ones the commercial fishermen use not your fly fishing/ Tackle shop) and buy a few pounds of rope at least half-inch stuff and a good pair of leather work gloves (no need for those heavy-duty pair) to prevent rope burns might be a good and safe idea. I Got your back buddy! Don't know what shops to visit? Just go down to your local wharf. I know there must be one handy to where you live and ask any one of the fishermen/women where to get fresh rope. After all. We don't want to read in the papers or hear on the six-o'clock news about a Local Landscape Photographer who falls to his death capturing our beautiful NS seascapes or waterfalls. That would suck big time, right Amanda? I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Unlike the Peggy's Cove video which I thought was Low Hanging Fruit but then hey. for all I know, you and Amanda were in the Halifax area to make a trip to Home Depot for building supplies for that gorgeous church renovation. Maybe next summer, if you're still in the midst of that project, I could drop by for a week and lend a hand. I have carpentry skills, no lie. I know, I know, "where the hell were you when it was time for demolition?"
The jagged rocks at the start of the video are shales or slates, the reason there's Shao edge corners to the uplifted sediments is that there are joints (plains of weakness near perpendicular to the bedding plains) that are produced through tectonic processes (uplift, compression, stress, strain) these plains of weakness are at definable predictable angles. We have lupins up here where I live, they'll blume in mid July. Mostly called fireweed, we get mostly purple and pink ones with the rare blue ones. They're often along the roadside where taller vegetation have been cut back enough for the lupins to get a foothold.
@ 5:59 - the answer, my friend, is plate tectonics. The layered rocks are of sedimentary nature, formed from what was once seabed. Hundreds of millions of years of plate movement and volcanic activity have pushed those sedimentary layers in all kinds of directions, including up and sideways. Adding comments during the video... That lupin image was brilliant. I love backlit flowers. Cape Breton is gonna look awesome come autumn.
@@fototripper it's almost like "leave a comment" has become a personal message. 😂 The Himalayas also used to be seabed. They are still rising because the Indian subcontinent is literally still crashing into Asia. You can find shellfish fossils up there.
I’ve just discovered your channel within the last couple of days and you’re both hilarious! Love the personality, love the photography and can’t wait to watch more!
What a wonderful location. You are right - best campsite ever. I had no idea when you moved there that Nova Scotia was so beautiful and tree covered. Initially, when you left Vancouver Island, I felt quite disappointed. Adam better watch out, you are rapidly becoming a master of drone photography. Your stills and video from this location are truly awesome. Nice wedding ring by the way ... nothing gets past me, well - maybe the odd unicorn.
Holy shit. This is the best I've seen of Meat Cove in recent memory! Can't wait to see what you can produce once the Fall rolls around. Loving the new drone footage, Gavin!
Meat cove eh !! What a spot !! Loved the drone portrait shot !! Those lupines where great and you nailed the shallow DOF !! Amanda played a blinder in this also !! Bravo !!
Those rocks jutting up are sedimentary rocks. Created in the ocean over millions of years. Sediments in the water settle and become rock due to time and pressure, hence the layers. When there is movement in the tectonic plates that the land masses are made of they sometimes collide and rocks are forced upwards. And sometimes downwards I guess.
John Cabot trail - check it out if you get the chance! Unicorns!! LoL 🤣😂😂 absolutely!!! Lupins - yep, New Brunswick's flower much like the dogwood is of British Columbia's flower.👍 @29:05 minutes; the bocha is absolutely beautiful as are the lupins. The Sony 100-400 performs well. I myself am a Sigma buff and therefore own the equivalent: 150-600mm composition. It's attached to the Canon EOS 70D. A match made in heaven!
Easily the best photography channel on UA-cam. I always look forward to your Vlogs. Thank you for sharing your adventures. A super thanks from me. #jre
Now Now Mr Hardcastle surely as a great ambassador of nature photography you should be encouraging others in this great pursuit. To this end give Amanda one of you cameras and a selection of your lens and let her concentrate and learn about wildlife photography, she might even be able to teach you a thing or so, and if she has her own UA-cam channel she would give you a run for your money.By the way your pics are not to shabby either
Love your videos, Yes the plants were lupines, such lovely plants and your photos did them justice. Always look forward to watching what you get up to the pair of you. We are now watching your mate Adam Gibbs, you must miss him. Stay smiling both of you, and watch out for the squirrels
One of your best! Nice layback easy trip together. No rush trying too cram stuff in in a short time, and a good mix of content. I enjoyed it with a cuppa!
This was a fantastic video. Stunning scenery. Outstanding images. And loved your talking through all your thoughts, etc. Great job! Lookin forward to that waterfall!
Meat Cove, I fell in love with it when we visited some years ago. The previous night after we got there, they were subject to a big storm. The storm was so bad and the winds so strong that the restaurant lifted on its posts(foundation) and they came to evacuate the restaurant employees. They told us about it. It must have been scary for sure. But what a beautiful location.
Sooo much to love about this video. The location - too beautiful for words (except maybe 'magentic'). Drone footage - epic. Amanda - utterly delightful, as always. Those long lens Lupin shots - deliciosa. Killer butterfly - almost... The image of Joe Rogan having an angry wank - stuck in my head (thanks for that).
Excellent. Much appreciate all the great talk about lining up yer shots, both the drone shots and the lupine in landscape. Great discussion of light and contrast.
Well, I have been subscribed to your videos for a long time and have started many of them, but this is the first one that have made it past half way and finished the whole thing. I think it was the wife saying "meat cove". In all seriousness, thank you for the adventure.
You did get some epic shots. The wooded area you were in looks typical of the east coast. Lots of thick vegetation almost as thick as the bugs. The shots of the lupine are gorgeous. You got photobombed by a butterfly! Thanks for bringing us a long!!! I like potatoes too 😊
The lupines are pretty, but it’s when they get backlit and that striking violet at the edges comes through they are at their best. And you captured that, well, just beautifully.
Hi Gavin, Your drone clips are really a welcome addition and make the videos even more enjoyable... Btw, I finally got the book after a few weeks. Definitely worth the wait and one of the best photography books I own (and I have plenty). Wonderful pictures accompagnied by some context that is a joy to read, useful technical comments and of course your solid sense of british humour in the background. A keeper !
Very nice, Gaven. Glad you found some joy after the move. The woods in the NE abound with biting flies. Deer flies are especially nasty. I also remember tiny little black beetles that go for the corners of the eyes, nose, ears. You don’t feel them. But they leave blood behind. I always wondered what they eat when I’m not around. Your battle with them reminds me of Midge Water Marsh in Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring. Your excellent lupine shots are exactly why I lug my 180mm macro lens. You just never know. Cheers, Gavin and Amanda!
@@fototripper So true! Which is why I only camp early Spring and Autumn. They get pretty bad here in the central Idaho mountains too. But our dark sky Milky Ways are almost worth the bugs!
Surely I mentioned my book? www.fototripper.com/chasing-awe-landscape-photography-book-gavin-hardcastle/
He he. Of course!
My daughter eagerly awaits the way you will mention your book each week. 😜
if Amanda wants to do a whale tour. Briar Island is the place to go!! decent lighthouse on the island as well. and only two short ferry rides to get there
Awesome book!
Finally I got one of them fake prize messages! I was feeling rather left out!
The butterfly STOLE the SHOW! No need for unicorns when you have Monarchs!!! LOL
That was priceless adding the sound affects when the butterfly jammed through the shot. ;)
I had to rewind that bit half a dozen times to catch that. So funny 👍
Late September to early October is the best time to visit Meat Cove. The leaves are a riot of colours and there are no bugs. We go to Meat Cove again this October.

New music, new whales, new flowers, new level of awesomeness.
Best photography channel out there… always earning the likes.
Love to see that the butterflies in Nova Scotia are polite enough to excuse themselves for flying through the shot 🤣 Classic Hardcastle 👍🏻👍🏻
That butterfly passing by, saying ‘Sorry!’ is one of the funniest things ever. 😂😂😂
That drone dolly shot in the intro , wowsers 👍🏻🤘🏻😎
Great vid, digging the new music and the recent drone footy. 🤙🏼

@@fototripper putting up a wheel house on a lobster boat. 🤗
Being a full time sports photographer I'm quite fond of handheld telephoto landscape photography. Love the lupine shots and the whole video.
The jagged rocks at the start of the video are shales or slates, the reason there's Shao edge corners to the uplifted sediments is that there are joints (plains of weakness near perpendicular to the bedding plains) that are produced through tectonic processes (uplift, compression, stress, strain) these plains of weakness are at definable predictable angles.

They're often along the roadside where taller vegetation have been cut back enough for the lupins to get a foothold.
Amanda is as mad as a box of frogs, and you struck gold with her. The perfect companion. Love that drone shot of the cliffs and bay.
@ 5:59 - the answer, my friend, is plate tectonics. The layered rocks are of sedimentary nature, formed from what was once seabed. Hundreds of millions of years of plate movement and volcanic activity have pushed those sedimentary layers in all kinds of directions, including up and sideways.

I just love the comedy you bring to the genre 🤣 😄
Someone is having fun with their new drone! Well done!
Beautiful helps me to reduce my tension ❤️
Fantastic drone shot ! great location, and love the humour / banter !
I’ve just discovered your channel within the last couple of days and you’re both hilarious! Love the personality, love the photography and can’t wait to watch more!
Love the panogasmic Lupine shot
Amanda is soooo adorable Gavin, she really compliments your vlogs and is tons better eye candy than old uncle grumpacious!! 😂
Beautiful spot! I think my brother is filming out that way in the next little while.
The question is...when will Grumpton be filming out that way?
Wonderful outing and images, as always! The light on the lupines made them seem like lanterns. Quite stunning!
What a wonderful location. You are right - best campsite ever. I had no idea when you moved there that Nova Scotia was so beautiful and tree covered.

Whole video felt like five minutes 😍
Your best video since your move east. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This was an amazing video with a great variety of compositions too! that butterfly going mach 2 tho!! 🤣😆
Very beautiful location with great photos and a nice feel good video, thanks for sharing
"always going over the line"... lmao... you two are awesome together
Holy shit. This is the best I've seen of Meat Cove in recent memory! Can't wait to see what you can produce once the Fall rolls around. Loving the new drone footage, Gavin!
G'Day Curtis! I'll see you at Sir Gavin's first workshop. You around Sydney this week?
Great vid!… from the cloudiclasmic drone shots and fabliocious campsite to the magentic rearlit lupines! 😁
That 100-400 is my favorite "flower" lens!
Beautiful hand held close ups. Those type of shots are very underrated.
I love your Lass.She is the star of the show :) Meat Cove LOL
Meat cove eh !! What a spot !! Loved the drone portrait shot !! Those lupines where great and you nailed the shallow DOF !! Amanda played a blinder in this also !! Bravo !!
Cheeky fly at 16:29 decided to take full advantage of a free stay at Hardcastle Towers
Also the intro to this video was magentic!
Truly magentic
The photo of the backlit lupines turned out really nice. My favorite of the series 👏🏻
The lupine shots are wonderful but the drone shots were outstanding! Good work Amanda! (You too Gavin)
That sure is one hell of a camping spot 👌 👏
That swallowtail: RUDE 😂🤣
I think I liked the lupin image at 29:05 best of all.
;)

Geez, Meat Cove looks amazing, a sunrise there could be epic!
Wow those lupin shots were fantabulocious! Actually they were amazballs!
Grate video and pictures Gavin
Always waiting for new ones
So happy to see a video longer than 10-15min
Please, never stop to make them for us
Beautiful couple, beautiful place and beautiful photos.

I really like the Lupin photos. I love shooting Lupins when they're in bloom on the beach . Best, jim Hester
As always informed, entertaining and just a hell of a lot of fun.
A fantastic video… got goosebumps looking at the backlit lupins …. Background Music…just beautiful! Amazing drone shots as well! Cheers from Montreal!

Brilliant shots. Love this episode.🤩
Outstanding!! Just outstanding!! Well done Gavin.
Keep that wife of yours mate. She seems like so much fun and a breath of fresh air. I'm sure she keeps you young.
Really loved the lupines around 18:55 and thanks for showing the light comparison. Good drone work too!

Super nice lupin photos Gavin. Nice work.
Just got back from seeing Elton John in concert at Watford FC - now finishing the evening with a fototripper video. Perfick!!!
Beautiful place! Amazing scenery. I love tent camping! And I am a grandmother. It’s my favorite way to camp.
Not with these bugs...
@@fototripper So true! Which is why I only camp early Spring and Autumn. They get pretty bad here in the central Idaho mountains too. But our dark sky Milky Ways are almost worth the bugs!

Great video! The lupin shot is amazing!
