I Bought a Giant Telephoto Lens… Then Took It to Prince Edward Island (PEI)

Video Description

Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/fototripper In a desperate attempt to pay for my newest telephoto lens I have to pretty much beg Blake Rudis to relaunch 'Make Great Shots'. If you haven't heard of 'Make Great Shots', it's the brilliant landscape photography course we launched earlier this year but it was only available for one week. I manage to convince him to relaunch for one more week but he's not impressed with my financial responsibility and neither is Amanda. The only thing I can think of to avoid calamity is to claim that I bought this new lens for her. Quite what she's going to do with a 400-800mm lens that weighs more than her is beyond me but we'll see what happens on location. We take the campervan to Prince Edward Island (also knows as PEI) where my 1st priority is a delicious Cornish pasty before heading to a spectacular sea arch that's rapidly crumbling on the North Cape. We make it just in time for sunset as the light begins to pop, but for this shot I'll be needing my wide angle lens. Perhaps the telephoto lens will be better used in the morning when we encounter some sun bathing sea lions... Amanda finally tries her hand at wildlife photography but can she even hold the lens steady? She'd probably be fine with a Monopod but I'm not going to tell her, are you? Will I get a free coffee by pretending I'm Thomas Heaton and what is Blake polishing when he answers my call? How good is my 'hand pie' and why are those seals giving us the side eye? There's really only one way to find out.
