Video Description

Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/fototripper After receiving a mysterious email I'm seriously considering a change of career. This offer seems totally legit to me but what do you think? With the admin taken care of we head off into the hills with the camper and the Sony 400-800mm telephoto lens where Amanda finds me an eagle within minutes. Amanda has some complaints about not having a functional kitchen but I deflect with some speccy snacks in the crumb catchers. I'll never win that wildlife photographer of the year award at this rate. We then move on to a hike in the mountains for a spot of landscape photography in the hopes of capturing a lovely sunset but the clouds have other ideas... that doesn't stop me though. After a night in the camper celebrating our wedding anniversary we visit one of my favourite waterfalls in Nova Scotia, but will the recent drought ruin the shot? As always, I have a Plan B. There's nothing quite like a tranquil autumn reflection shot and I've found a river that offers some sublime scenes with the Hasselblad 35-100mm lens. I talk you through my entire process of composition before the image reveal, you know it's worth the wait. How long does it take Amanda to realize she's getting up at 4 am and should I really sell my Youtube channel to a charismatic stranger on the Interwebs? What will I find in the crumb catchers after last nights rotisserie chicken dinner? There's really only one way to find out.
