The Hardccastles and Simon d'Entremont, the holy trinity of comedy; and throw in a total eclipse of the sun! An experience of a life time. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Glad you didn't spend much time at the top of that hill; gave me the willies. Thanks for the good times.
I am fortunate enough to live in the totality path. One of the nicest things about witnessing the totality was knowing that you were experiencing it with millions of other people at about the same time. It's nice to be part of a collective event like that (and it not be some huge tragedy).
I'm jealous because I traveled 8 hours, got sunny weather in the days surrounding the eclipse, but was stuck with completely overcast skies during. It was still cool but nothing life-changing. Oh well, I'll see one sometime.
I betcha Meat Cove had never seen that much traffic before, holy cow...the traffic at the Dunes in Bouctouche was insane, lol. The light just before and after was soooo strange! I didn't even try to make a video that day, even though I had about 3 minutes of totality where we were (too many people around freaks me out still). Those solar eruptions were so cool to see! "Look how he is...as he is!" 🤣 We need to get Gavin that next 11K, he deserves that first 'play button'.
Former Montrealer living in Germany here. I found your channel a couple of days ago. I'm hooked.... I didn't see this eclipse, but I saw a 4 minutes one in Costa Rica in 1991. It's completely engraved in my mind. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Fish and total echips!!🤔 That’s the diet out of the window then. I’ve gone off chowder (fish) too. Last time I had it there were feckin bones in!🙄😡 Still envying your snow man, whilst also waiting for the UK to warm up 🤷♂️👍📸
Thank you so much Gavin for making the effort to film this view. We weren’t able to see it in the UK as the sun was setting before eclipse. Loved hearing “Meeat Covve” from Amanda again 👌
I was able to get a shot of the partial eclipse, here in Central Alberta. Nothing like what you captured. Phenomenal video, well done guys. and you too Amanda !! As a wildlife photographer, wanting to branch out into landscape photography, I by chance found your site about a month ago. First one watched was the Abraham Lake video. Glad I did because it's been a trip ever since. THEN, to get Simon d'Entremont in this one.......what a plus !!! I learned so much from him as well, Gavin. So much so, that I was featured in Canadian Geographic's 2023 Wildlife Photography of the Year competition with him !! Never got to thank him for what he does for us out here, so......thank you ever so much Simon d'Entremont !! Now, twenty dollars seems to be the going rate. If one of my landscape pictures ever make it to publication, the cheques in the mail !! Cheers,
wow, I was getting secondhand anxiety as you were talking about how little you prepared for this. I spent hours and hours over the months leading up to the eclipse figuring out and practicing exactly the settings and photos to take during our 4 minutes of totality. Not having a filter and waiting until totality to check focus, oh man I absolutely could not. To each their own I suppose. My planning paid off, and I got just about every shot I hoped for, but in some ways not worrying about the photos probably helped you just experience the moment more. For your first eclipse is the best to just experience it imo. I hope you enjoyed it regardless, my first total eclipse in 2017 was mindblowing, and I am extremely glad that I decided to drive 7 hours to see & photograph this one
Ace video Gavin . I experienced the 1999 partial eclipse here in the uk . I agree it’s quite a surreal experience. Birds singing then going to roost . Then a bit later doing dawn chorus. There was a bit of wind that day . Then as the eclipse was playing out the wind dropped . The birds stopped singing . It just went weirdly quiet . I shall never forget that day . Not sure if I will see another eclipse.
@@fototripper He's a great photographer, isn't he, but also dry as the Atacama. You might as well have a bit of fun out there. Ever tried that? Yeah, I've been watching yours for a long while, and can see that you occasionally fluke a great shot. (Actually, love all your work.)
Gavin, Outstanding job on everything! This goes to show that education can be entertaining. PS, love Nova Scotia! Need to go back and explore the North where you were.
I traveled from Duluth, MN to Vincennes, IN for 4 minutes of totality. I worked with Vincennes University to project the eclipse for others to view on campus while I was photographing the event. This was my third eclipse and each has been a sort of spiritual experience. Sharing with so many others just increases the specialness of the day. Looking forward to August 2026 in Iceland.
I drove about 6 or 7 hours to my cousin's house in Arkansas to see it. I set my cameras up in his yard. My rig isn't too the level of Simone's but I did buy a star adventurer tracker. It worked great. All I had to do was take pictures. The week before they said it was going to be cloudy. Even up to the day before we weren't certain. We had a clear sky that day. I photographed it all the way through from start to finish. I took a 9 shot bracket during totality. I'm on my way back home now so I haven't edited my photos yet. I did edit a few with my phone but I can't merge the brackets without my computer. I forgot to change my settings when I got done with the bracket shots so I still had a slow shutter speed and bracketing on when the sun popped back out. I may have got 1 or 2 usable diamond ring shots but I did not get Baily's beads on 3rd contact. I had a second camera being me with a wide angle lens so I could be in the frame. I forgot to take the filter off during totality so those shots are no good. It was an incredible experience that I'll always remember. I'd to go to the 2026 eclipse but I doubt that week happen. Maybe I'll still be alive in 2044. I think I got some great shots. It's hard to tell looking at the back of the camera. But the way I had 4 minutes of totality. My cousin's house was within 10 miles of the center line. And I still screwed up with that much time.
great video again Gavin, It,s plain to see Amanda enjoys her comfort and grub, bless her, nice explanation on reflected light from the snow, brilliant eclipse images mate.
This was my third solar eclipse and I wasn't too excited about the photography, but I did go outside to see the light change. I was glad to see that you and Samantha got some good shots of it, Gavin. Couldn't figure out why you and Simon wanted to climb that hill to photograph it. Were you trying to get closer for a better exposure? I got some fine images of the 2017 total eclipse and I was satisfied to just observe this time. BTW, hope you are starting to feel better now. You are still a little dark under the eyes but as spring progresses you will feel a little better every day. The winter blahs will fade. And don't forget to eat a big bait of the cure-all poke salad when it starts to sprout. You have to pick it early when it is only 3 or 4 inches tall.
I love this. I would down that seafood chowder just as fast as Amanda. Those switchbacks got my heart going. I was grabbing the arm of my chair. That cabin looked lovely. I'm so glad you all got together with Simon. "Look for the biggest camera rig" LOL Thanks for sharing your images. I planned on going to a place for totality but I could only do a day's drive and the places I could go were calling for cloud cover and rain. So, I ended up closer to home and did sequence shots of the partial. So, I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing!!! Thanks always for the humor!!! I hope you get to do more videos with Simon.
Meat Cove was quite the novel place to go for this eclipse, especially because the tip of Cape Breton was the only place in Nova Scotia to be within the path AND because Nova Scotia became legend when it was named in the song “You’re So Vain.” The NS reference in the song was “You flew your Learjet to Nova Scotia to see the total Eclipse of the Sun.” Now if you had also flown in a Learjet to NS, then you definitely would have earned some bragging rights, enough to write a book about your eclipse experience. Maybe you still did! Congrats🎉🍾
I shot the Annular Eclipse last year in Capitol Reef NP, for the Total Eclipse I traveled 4 hours to get out from under the cloud cover. Your photo’s turned out fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing the experience.
Since it was Simon's appearance on your channel that caused his to explode it's only fitting that he sends some your way. Maybe some pro tips from Simon would help as well. I'm also interested in your new book. I'm almost out of fire starter.
Jesus Gavin, wasn’t expecting those pictures at all! Absolutely beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing your experience with us that weren’t able to experience it for themselves.
I know I have only just watched this extremely special event, but WOW I had goosebumps and loved every moment of that eclipse. Thank you for showing this and take care.
We had totality here for almost two minutes. I took some handheld shots with my Pentax that I'm extremely happy with. I only took a few pictures before putting the camera down and just enjoying the experience. Awesome.
Four minutes and seven (?) seconds of totality in a clear blue sky in Mena, Arkansas (and a few hand held 200mm (non-IS) shots were fired off). Couldn't have been better! Enjoyed the video...
Traveled from Florida to Texas to witness the eclipse. And got me some eclipse photos through the mostly cloudy skies! I had a blast! Was well worth it!
So glad you got to see and photograph it Gavin! So spectacular! We drove 2 1/2 hrs from Michigan to Ohio which was short compared to what some people did. Totally worth it though!! I’d do It again in a heartbeat!
"2 1/2 hrs from Michigan to Ohio which was short compared to what some people did" Too right! We drove 2,000 km over two days from central Canada to southern Indiana, and then did the same to get home. It was well worth the journey. Totality was 3 minutes and 20 seconds; just not enough.
What an amazing moment. I heard it was a pretty incredible and weird surreal experience. I can remember seeing one as a kid - yonks ago. I can't remember much of what it felt like or what the experience was like though. Well done on the 90secs of block out.
Sorry Gavin I sent that message to you by mistake. I forgot to pause the vlog I was sending a message to and yours was the next vlog on auto play. I've got fibromyalgia and the fibro fog must have kicked in. 😂
Your glasses idea would have been perfect if you'd taken a fake nose along. Loved the natural backlighting of the snow. Amanda saying Meat Cove like some kind of pirate always makes me smile, and Simon is such a good sport and a very clever person.
I love Meat Cove and have images from there before the hurricane that came through there. The whole damn island will make you leave part of your heart there.
Always enjoy when you cross paths with Simon. You should ask if you could go on one of his photo trips to Africa. He might let you carry his lens cleaning wipes. Even though your styles are different you both share some great info.
We thoroughly enjoyed your videos! We had a fantastic time observing the Eclipse in Dallas, Texas, the high clouds didn't disrupt our experience at all.
I'm really happy you got to see this Gavin. I experienced the 2019 eclipse in the PNW of the US and it was life changing. I opted to not photograph it and just experience it. Next time though, I'm going to try to get some great shots. Your shots are wonderful and I appreciate you sharing the moment with us!
i did the cabot the trail in the winter a couple years ago and I can only image how it would have been with bad tires lol! Here in Ontario we had a few spots in the path of totality yet absoluelty everwhere was packed and we didn't go to the popular spot! Great video!
Wow...I would have loved to have been there to experience this miracle. You were there Mr Gavin. You experienced it. I am in absolute envy of you and you gave Simon d'Entremont a few lessons on the way. What more can you ever want?
Living in the Midwest US, your tip about using the snow to under light the trees was both a slap in the face (because I’m an idiot) and wonderfully enlightening (pun intended). Thank you!
Good job Gavin....Cape Breton has many many landscape opportunities eh...most of my relatives live in the Port Hood Mabou area so seeing the eclipse from Greensville Ontario didn't have and I knew it wouldn't have the same kick..so I put the Sony away and used the iPhone lol ...The Hasselblad shots were a great treat because it appeared from your shots we were not as dark as you were in your location. Greensville is not far from Niagara Falls the prime spot in Ontario. I understand viewing was not as good as our own side yard..I understand Niagara Falls had some cloud issues. Keep up the good work...and humour....
Thanks for sharing this experience with us. Must have been awesome to be there. And you may not have such a big channel as Simon, but as I remember, you were the one introducing him, right? How he took off is incredible, but that’s normal for those type of tutorial videos. I enjoy yours more, because they are more of an experience than just dry information. Good thing there are different types of content. Gavin with his personality which stands out among the crowd, and then Simon for some good tutorial.
My New Book: www.fototripper.com/stories-within-stories-landscape-photography-book/
So where is the comparison between the real camera and the cell phone with the glasses?
Alyn was definitely sat on a cloud watching that
Yeah I hope he got a kick out of it. I did think of him at the time.

Come on peeps! Give a thumbs up! He needs and deserves more subscribers. Humor and photography are like rum and coke. Drink up!
Is Rum and Coke back in vouge? So 1980's 🙂
You're thinking of Southern Comfort and Coke. That was the 80's in Yorkshire.
@@fototripper Coming back to me now. Down south it was Bicardi and Coke, or rum if you were posh.
@@melvilib Rum and coke never goes out of style. It is not a fad drink.
it is such an oddly emotional experience. Great video!
Travelled 6 hours to photograph totality in NY state, USA. One of the most profound experiences of my life. I'll remember this to the day I die.
I'm jealous because I traveled 8 hours, got sunny weather in the days surrounding the eclipse, but was stuck with completely overcast skies during. It was still cool but nothing life-changing. Oh well, I'll see one sometime.
Nice stuff, mate!
Glad you did this @fototripper, many of us do our photography vicariously through you, so you photographing this, feels like me photographing it!
My two favorite TH-cam photographers together! More, do more 👏🏼👏🏼😂

True dat.
What a great shoot! Even without Simon 😂. Seriously, I'd like to hear how you guys became friends as I really like both of your Channels!
Definitely need more of you two, and it is great to see Simon a little less polished. Great vid!
And that reflected light from the snow onto those trees was another (very quiet miracle) 👍

Watched the eclipse from our farm in southern Indiana while my son shot some photos. It was a amazing day. Thanks for the video. Be Safe.

All of my other videos do too, go check them out ;)

Great video, as ever, Gavin! Truly the shenanigans are alive :)
Our home was in the middle of totality during the 2017 eclipse & the light and feeling during an eclipse is INCREDIBLE!
I love Simon!
aw no way simon d'entremont! cool seeing him not doing wildlife! awesome!
Gavin, Outstanding job on everything! This goes to show that education can be entertaining. PS, love Nova Scotia! Need to go back and explore the North where you were.
Really enjoyed video..Beautiful location. Your eclipse photos were great but the time lapse was superb. Best wishes.
Thank you for taking us along Gavin. Love your adventures with Amanda and so nice to see Simon there also. Awesome spectacle!

You should do an eclipse workshop trip for 2026 !!! I’d love that !
Meat Cove was quite the novel place to go for this eclipse, especially because the tip of Cape Breton was the only place in Nova Scotia to be within the path AND because Nova Scotia became legend when it was named in the song “You’re So Vain.” The NS reference in the song was “You flew your Learjet to Nova Scotia to see the total Eclipse of the Sun.” Now if you had also flown in a Learjet to NS, then you definitely would have earned some bragging rights, enough to write a book about your eclipse experience.

Thank you. The world of photography can't manage to show all of us this event. I thank you for this in that quality.
Awesome, my two favorite you tubers! ❤
Best solar eclipse photos I have seen on TH-cam
I shot the Annular Eclipse last year in Capitol Reef NP, for the Total Eclipse I traveled 4 hours to get out from under the cloud cover. Your photo’s turned out fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing the experience.
Gavin, you did it! Outstanding!
I was in western Ohio. Didn’t even bring a camera so I could experience the event. That light just before totality was eerie. Almost gray scale.
awesome, total eclipse happening here in New Zealand in 2028 across the South Island in March, you should visit New Zealand, awesome scenery.
The algorithm knows the future, just got recommended a previous meat cove video yesterday 😂
Great capture of the sun flares.
It was really a cool event! We are actually going to do a workshop in Iceland for the 2026 TSE. Great stuff as usual Gavin.
I like how Simon gave you are great compositional type on using that terrible 50mm for a nice shot
Thank you. I wasn't able to view it in Southern California. This was as close to experiencing the eclipse as i could have hoped for.
Since it was Simon's appearance on your channel that caused his to explode it's only fitting that he sends some your way. Maybe some pro tips from Simon would help as well. I'm also interested in your new book. I'm almost out of fire starter.

We had totality here for almost two minutes. I took some handheld shots with my Pentax that I'm extremely happy with. I only took a few pictures before putting the camera down and just enjoying the experience. Awesome.
Worth the effort to be in totality. The 90 seconds were wonderful in Prince Edward Island.
Yeah it was beaut!
I don't care if those are the same shots as everyone else. They are awesome! Great to experience this with you and Amanda.
Four minutes and seven (?) seconds of totality in a clear blue sky in Mena, Arkansas (and a few hand held 200mm (non-IS) shots were fired off). Couldn't have been better! Enjoyed the video...
Traveled from Florida to Texas to witness the eclipse. And got me some eclipse photos through the mostly cloudy skies! I had a blast! Was well worth it!

Fantastic foties Dan. I bet Pops can't wait to grab his Z9 back from you and get some great foties too. ❤
Sorry Gavin I sent that message to you by mistake. I forgot to pause the vlog I was sending a message to and yours was the next vlog on auto play. I've got fibromyalgia and the fibro fog must have kicked in. 😂

How fantastic. Being in the southern hemisphere we didn't get to see it so thanks very much 😁
1 in a half minutes to make the magic happen?? You sure he’s talking about the photo? 😂. Nice video G Man
You lucky sod, not only having it close and available but also spending time with your protégé :-)
Quality images Pal
heheh cheers mate.
I love Meat Cove and have images from there before the hurricane that came through there. The whole damn island will make you leave part of your heart there.
Always enjoy when you cross paths with Simon. You should ask if you could go on one of his photo trips to Africa. He might let you carry his lens cleaning wipes. Even though your styles are different you both share some great info.
It was a top 5 experience for me... came away with amazing photos and likewise a YT Video... I had over 4 minutes :) Greenville TX
Gavin: The Pied Piper of Meat Cove!
(Nice shots!)
That was spectacular.
We thoroughly enjoyed your videos! We had a fantastic time observing the Eclipse in Dallas, Texas, the high clouds didn't disrupt our experience at all.
Super awesome and fun experience share. Loved the B roll also. High-5 n' Smilz !
Wow...this looked like an amazing experience.
Great job! You and your lovely wife AND SIMON?!? Excellent!!! Thanks for the time lapse, too. Now I need to go see what Simon got….🤭
Two of my favorites!
I'm really happy you got to see this Gavin. I experienced the 2019 eclipse in the PNW of the US and it was life changing. I opted to not photograph it and just experience it. Next time though, I'm going to try to get some great shots. Your shots are wonderful and I appreciate you sharing the moment with us!
Absolutely brilliant! I witnessed the total eclipse in Cornwall in 1999, it was weird how all the birds suddenly went quiet!
i remember that eclipse was not total in Croatia but still pretty good one
i did the cabot the trail in the winter a couple years ago and I can only image how it would have been with bad tires lol! Here in Ontario we had a few spots in the path of totality yet absoluelty everwhere was packed and we didn't go to the popular spot! Great video!
Loved the free composition lesson from Simon, and of course your reaction (outrage?)to it. 😂
Wow...I would have loved to have been there to experience this miracle. You were there Mr Gavin. You experienced it. I am in absolute envy of you and you gave Simon d'Entremont a few lessons on the way. What more can you ever want?
Amazing, thanks for sharing with us in cloudy UK.
I was in Jackman, Maine and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I now know why folks become eclipse chasers.
I was at Houlton. It was amazing.
@@mjennyt How were the crowds in Houlton? It was nuts in Jackman but so worth it.
@@johnnyat Busiest I've ever seen Houlton, but not overwhelming. Took an extra hour to drive home (Brunswick area).
It was such an awe-inspiring event. I've seen two total solar eclipses now, and I'm hooked.
Thanks for sharing Gavin!
Fantastic foties Gavin. Keep up the shenanigans ❤
Awesome.... Cheers Gav :)
Thank you!
That was so fun to watch! Great video and having Simon there too was awesome. I wasn't in the direct path here in WI but it was still pretty cool.
Sooo jealous! Great pics, Gavin!

Good thing there are different types of content. Gavin with his personality which stands out among the crowd, and then Simon for some good tutorial.
Well done Gavin , wish I woulda took my filter off to get those solar flares but was too nervous dang it !
