What It's Like to Photograph Atlantic Puffins on Machias Seal Island - A Guide for Visitors
Вставка

- This video is a guide for anyone who is thinking about taking the trip out to Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine to see and/or photograph Atlantic Puffins. This video also includes some sample footage and photos I have taken over the years visiting this island. This island is a nesting site for thousands of Puffins, Razorbills and Murres. If you're lucky you may even see a Northern Gannet or two. Since making this video I have learned of the passing of Captain Andy who ran this trip for many years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and I hope to see these trips continue to carry on. www.boldcoast....

I am going on this tour Saturday morning, I cannot wait! Your video was amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Your work is always so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this experience and information. Seeing and photographing puffins has been on my bucket list for a very long time.
Amazing footage and images, Professor. Watching it answered many questions I've had over the years about photographing Puffins of the island. Puffins remain near the top of my Bucket List. Well done!
Thanks Randy! Hope you get there someday, it's worth the effort!
so peaceful...animals are innocent...they have no bad intention, what is a world without animals...i love and appreciate them so much and i learned so much of them...😍😊💋
This video is helpful! Thank you!
Puffins! And, oh how well you "picture" them, Harry!! God bless you and your lens!!!
I've done this trip twice (from the Canadian side) It's fantastic. I can't imagine an easier way to get stunning puffin photos. I have a video from about 12 years ago on my channel. I remember Captain Andy. Sad to hear of his passing.
Thanks for sharing this Harry! Got three tickets for end of June trip. Thanks for the tip on what lens we need to bring.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hello Harry! Thanks for this video! I just got tickets for two days on the island and now your video is helping me bide the time!
You are very lucky! They are not easy to get these days!
So true. They sold out in 15 minutes!!! Literally! There were three of us online eight at 9am to increase our odds! Here's hoping at least one of those days is nice!
Thanks, again!
Wonerful footage and images Harry thanks for sharing..
Glad you enjoyed it
Such beautiful birds and top notch footage and images!

Great video! Very helpful to those of us with upcoming plans to visit the island.
Thanks Mike!

The Best Man👍💪💪💪💪💪❤️
thank you!!! wonderful!
Excellent thank you!
Amazing سبحان الله ابدع في خلقة ❤️
I wish that I could've done underwater shots. One day maybe.
That was incredible. This is bucket list for me and I am hoping to get there next year. I have to figure out when tickets for the 2023 season will go on sale. About lenses...would a 70-200 be a good lens to use there? Good stuff as always Harry!
Is there a link to the boat tour compnay? Thanks, great video!
which lens did you use？Thank you
which month is the best to be there? Thanks for video..
What time of year are you most likely to land on the island?
How long are you on the island?
You only get an hour in the blinds. Its not nearly enough :(
Very nice but don't like those hides though! Must get hot there also!
It can be a little warm but luckily being so far north and a small island out in the ocean its bearable as it's usually cooler temps for the most part. But I do wish the blinds were a little more spacious to say the least.
@@HarryCollinsPhotography oh for sure! I'm off to Mingan, Quebec tomorrow for puffins! Can't wait! Cheers man!
