Love to follow you on your travels Mike and to see part of the world I may never get to see in person. Loved the black and white image and the colour reflections looked awesome, especially the one of the sheds on stilts. Is it the Atlantic Ocean Mike or are you further north?
Thanks Paul: We are on the Atlantic Ocean. We had planned on the Arctic Ocean but road conditions and forest fires 🔥 caused us to go East instead. Thanks for watching and especially for good relevant comments. It's been good for the most part. Close to home now and then finding out about the van problems and get ready to go again 🙃. Mike
hi mike nice to see the images you made, and to travel with you, have a nice Sunday.
Thanks very much for watching. It was a fun time despite some rain getting in through the roof vent of the van. Mike
Wow that last purple sky shot was amazing. I love all the colours you have down there. Houses, benches, rocks and boats, verything had colour. Here everything is grey or black of white. Go to a parking and 95 percent of all card are that colour also. Dutch people are really boring when it comes to using colours around they're houses. Grt guido
Thanks Guido: Newfoundland is well known for the bright color of the houses and 🚢 boats. I am delighted that we can learn so much about each other through CZcams. I feel that it's a great forum to share our work around the world 🌎. I love the wonderful fog that seems to follow you around. Mike
Thanks Mike.
Thank you Roderick. Hope for lots more
Beautiful shots, we are homesick for Bonavista already after our trip in late May & June. We experienced what appeared to be dear flys only in dense woods and no mosquitoes but not in the open areas. Thanks for your forbearance.
Thanks very much. We had a wonderful time there every time we visited. Whales 🐋 and Puffins too. Mike
What a beautiful spot. Amazing photo opportunities abound!
Thanks for watching and especially for commenting 😊. Mike
Hi Mike, Beautiful shots !! I can't get enough Puffins, I just love'em!!😊 There is indeed a Stellars Eagle that has made it's new home in Trinty, if you take the boat tour they usually travel by it's new nest it began building this year. It's not seen everytime of course, but it is still here and has been photographed quite a lot this year. Apparently it is the only know wild Stellars Eagle living in the western Hemisphere, they are native to East Russia, East China and along that coastline down to Japan, if I'm not mistaken, possibly came through the arctic maybe lost its bearings in a storm ended up travelling south to Newfoundland instead of China or Japan lol, that's my best guess😅 A google search will return results with pictures of our adopted friend living in Trinty, she is stunningly beautiful. Cheers, Will
Thanks very much for watching and commenting 🙂. I love the Puffins too. Been going there for years. I didn't get to see the eagle. Thanks again for watching and supporting me with your comments. Mike

Love the shots with the rocks in the foreground. Must be amazing to be at the most eastern point of north America. Now get to the most western point 😅 grt guido
That's quite a drive. I have some plans for the immediate future and then get ready to drive to the Arctic Ocean. The Dempster should be fixed up by next year. So many fires and things kept us away this year.
The shots of the harbour in the village were beautiful. Bright colours reflected in calm water. I also appreciated your explanation of the photo of the street lamp-lit ramp.
@RoderickJMacdonald Good morning, Roderick. Thanks 😊. These are places that I absolutely love in Newfoundland. I shot the boat ramp last year at the full moon, this one may be a little bit better. Appreciate your support. Mike
If you want a few translations.... Saint-Pierre was a part of New-France, the French colonies in North America (16th-17th centuries) with Canada, Acadia and Louisiana. The archipelago became definitely French in 1816 (they are actually two connected islands : Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, and a few smaller islands). The lighthouse says "Pointe aux canons" because it is located on the "Cannons' Point" ( You can see the cannons later - They were used to defend the island against the English - they wanted the island too -1690-1713). The signs : Centre-ville = town center - Débarcadère = landing stage - Belvédère = lookout point - Caserne = barracks - The red sign with the squirrel logo is a bank (Caisse d'Epargne), the squirrel is the symbol of foresight. The yellow building with red windows is the "Préfecture", the administrative center ; you can find one in each French département (county). La Maison du Combattant = The House of the Combatant The memorial statue "A nos marins disparus" = To our missing sailors" - The other memorial remembers the two World Wars fallen soldiers. The colored houses are not typical of France, but rather of Northern Europe countries.
Thanks very much 😀. Mike
Nice pictures and video.
Thanks for watching 👀. Mike
You interpreted the French signs correctly.
Thanks for watching. Mike
Copied and pasted from a chatbot: Saint Augustine, Florida is older than St. John's, Newfoundland. Saint Augustine was founded in 1565 and is the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the continental United States. In contrast, St. John's, Newfoundland was not founded until 1583, over 15 years after the founding of Saint Augustine. Which is the older municipality? As municipalities, Saint Augustine, Florida is still older than St. John's, Newfoundland. Saint Augustine was incorporated as a municipality in 1824, making it one of the oldest municipalities in the United States. St. John's, Newfoundland was not incorporated as a municipality until 1888. So while both locations have long histories, Saint Augustine has been an incorporated municipality for over 60 years longer than St. John's. This means that Saint Augustine, Florida is the older municipality between the two. I prefer St John’s of course! 😊
Great information indeed. I have always been told St. Johns Newfoundland was first. Thanks again for watching. If I encourage that's a good thing. Mike
Thanks, Mike! You have encouraged me to do a bit of night photography. I have been avoiding it for various reasons. One is that I find it a little difficult to manage the artificial lights. Your Saturday night drive through downtown St. John’s is illustrative of how my photos turn out at night. Although I am hardly a night owl, it makes sense for me to do night photography because I am in Saigon, where nights are pleasant and days are … ovenly. I guess I will have to experiment, but any comment you might have beside matrix metering would be more than welcome. You mentioned that a Cross is missing from the Cathedral and that this would have to be fixed. Did you mean that the cathedral would have to be fixed or that you would insert a second cross in the photo? If the latter, I suggest not making any change because the missing Cross makes the photo historical.
Interesting point about leaving the missing 3rd cross off the steeple. It will remain as it is. If my early morning memory serves, it'd the cross on the left
Fumble fingers it's chilly this morning.

Outstanding photography and videography! My wife and I were there on June 12th and it was beautiful then. Amazing location and well worth the long drive. That one lane road to and from the highway is a doozy but we never met a car, just lucky I guess. My wife and I were shooting OM-1 & G9 Mk II cameras with Oly 300. PL 100-400 V. 1 and PL 50-200mm 2.8-4 with a 1.4 TC. We got some good shots but yours are much better. My wife is interested to learn your OM-1 video settings being that you had such outstanding video. I got a shot of some eggs but we were there too early for the chicks. I see you published this two weeks ago. Is that about when you were there? We are considering another trip to the area next year but also a return visit to the Newfoundland west coast. I loved Bonavista and the puffins in late May. My wife has a CZcams channel “lesdubb” where she just published her first Bonavista video. We are still getting used to our new gear but the trip was absolutely wonderful. Living in Florida I have to wait until November for the migration to get more bird photography opportunities. Thank you for sharing
Thanks very much 😀. So happy that you found it interesting. Chris Mooney is one of the people working there. He would be an excellent source of information about the migration and all of that. The weather is unpredictable and fog is always a possibility. We are making a video just now about leaving St. Vincent's Beach in a mad dash for the Cape due to a window of opportunity in the weather. I pretty much use matrix metering for video in 4k and autofocus but in slow motion manual focus is the only way. I use focus peaking and always check a video to see how it goes, the fast forward arrow helps then long slow video to watch, I catch heck for long video to edit, also for too many shots in bursts, I have learned to look at my shots in thumbnails and scroll through the clunkers with my thumb on the video button selecting them and batch deleting it saves time and space. There are a few launch points on that road for an old van. 1995 E150, so much fun. Thanks again. Oh in slow motion I usually use the slowest setting. Mike
Just checking. July 25th and 26th.
awesome colors, worth that dull wait for sure 😉
Thanks very much 😀
Hey my birthplace! When I lived in St. John's I did the downtown tour at least once a week. I too love the Battery, especially in winter and at night! The hiking trail through the Battery along Signal Hill to the Cabot Tower is breathtakingly beautiful, (not too difficult, but tiring lol) I always dread the stairs at the end though😊 but so worth it for the views! The JellyBean Row houses on the road up to Signal Hill are actually under strict upkeep conditions as a part of the history & heritage of St. John's, and have to keep their colours, they can't just change it. The other homes you photographed may also have to follow the same rules, but I'm not positive. St. John's has so much beautiful history, but sadly a lot was "left behind", like the war bunkers on Southside😢 Love the old churches, & architecture, they're incredibly stunning inside! Enjoyed seeing your photos, Thanks for the memories 😊 Look forward to your next stop. Cheers, Will

I had heard about this place for years. During American Prohibition, it was famous for international smuggling. It's said that Al Capone was a visitor. It's not part of Canada but rather a part of France. It was a unique experience. Thanks for watching. Mike

Can you create folders in an Olympus E5 for different shoots to keep your pictures organized ? Say I was a real estate photographer and wanted to do 4 different houses in a day. Could I create a folder for each house ? Thanks.
I'm sorry I don't know about that. I upload my files with Lightroom and then use Photoshop.
@@bellasvistas3463 Thanks. I enjoy your videos.
Love the colours, gives me a van Gogh or Monet impression, lovely images. Too bad the heavy fog. Love how the French lifestyle remains, I noticed a lot of "American vehicles", not too surprised, I liked seeing the European autos The houses remind me of The Netherlands and France of course lol😅 They very much resemble houses painted by van Gogh, Rembrandt and others. It amazes how many people do not realise how close we are to France/Europe 😊 Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next spot. Cheers,
Thanks Will: The Fog was a bit of a down for me, I did everything I could think of. Then on the trip back, it cleared off. That and an excellent cup of coffee ☕️ really turned it around for me. I got the best images from the deck of the ferry ⛴️ as the fog was clearing. Thanks again for watching 👀. Mike
Thanks for sharing this visit. I have never been to St. Pierre. May I give you a little critique? The HDR effect in some of your photos is a bit strong to my taste. That is just one man’s opinion, of course.
Thanks Roderick: Appreciate your watching. Mike
I see what you mean but I like the colors, you can see it as an artist impression. Especially the floating church. You can go the other way with deep black shadows. Both are artist impressions right? (artificially enhanced) I am no expert but I liked this take 🙃

You are really pushing out videos lately! How is that working out? Is the channel growing more than earlier? I was watching this and I realised something. I love your photography but man, they should hire you from promoting Canada or something. The way you show your country it just encourages people to book a ticket. The way you show all these locations that we never even hear of and the passion with wich you do that is just amazing! Keep them coming, Mike! Grt guido
We have been very busy. I just love traveling around in Canada 🇨🇦 and I don't know what else to do aside from making videos. Today we were on a French Island 🇲🇫 passports and all that. Still have some wonderful places to show. Thanks for watching. IDK if it will grow the Channel or not but it sure is fun. Mike
Love watching you visit places I want to see 😊 Have you been to Newtown? They call it "Little Venice", as it's made up of several islands linked by bridges. Quaint little town with the Barbour Heritage Living site (usually awesome food😊), it's on the Northeast coast, Bonvista Bay North. Cape Freels is minutes away with the Cabot Trail and great bird viewing. Greenspond is also in this area (New-Wes-Valley), its home to one of the oldest court/jail houses in Newfoundland. Much more to see here, it's also home for the "Lucky Seven". Enjoy your narration, brings me along without the workout😊
Thanks Will: I will try to find it heading that way soon. Mike

Thanks for sharing! Lots of great information. I got into 4x5 a few years ago, I love the process and the large negatives. I will admit, I don’t shoot as much 4x5 as 35mm or medium format. Large format is a very slowed down experience, everything is planning and methodical.
I have been very busy with digital photography lately. Right now I'm in Newfoundland and taking a ferry to a French Island. Our Newfoundland Adventure is in full swing. On our return I will get into film again. Perhaps with Transparency film and comparing my Epson Scans to outsourced ones. Thanks again. Mike
Great Video Sir. keep it up💯
Thanks very much for watching. Appreciate your commitments. Our latest video on the Bird Sanctuary at Cape St Mary's is pretty good. You might enjoy it. Mike
@@bellasvistas3463 my pleasure. Sure will go for that video ❤️🌹
@@samanmahdiabadi Bell Island Tomorrow!
awesome as usual
@boguslawnieczyporowicz8596 thanks very much for watching and especially for taking the time to comment 😀. Kind words always help my mood. Mike
Soo many birds, what a wonderful place! Beautiful footage!
Many thanks 😊. It was so much fun too.
I wish we had a rock like that with birds close. Closest I know is in Scotland or helgoland but it's all more then a day to travel there. Love the images of those flying birds. Vird detection worked great its all pin sharp to the eye. Great night image also with that building in the fog. The focus stack at the end was really awsome. Thanks for sharing. Grt guido
Hi Guido: This bird Sanctuary is world renowned. Very good access. People travel from around the world to visit here. I had my best experience this time. Mike
Great stuff Michael! Never seen those birds yet...but 1 day, I shall😉
It's a heck of a drive. We'll worth the time. Rested up today, greased the van and ready for tomorrow. Not sure which way to go. Thanks for watching. Mike
@@bellasvistas3463 Many the Gaspé area! Not that far....
The feather shot the end was amazing, but I also liked the foot bridge in the fog as well as that last night shot of the interpretation center.
Thanks, Roderick, the footbridge leads to the center, but it looks like the path to anywhere in the Fog. I really enjoyed this visit. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂. Apparently the fly is a Yellow Dung Beetle. Mike
The real Newfoundland! Cool Michael
Thanks Wayne. I'm doing my very best to find great places 😌
Beautiful place. My wife and I were just there in early June photographing puffins. Thank you for sharing your beautiful landscape shots.
While I enjoy using my camera and am more than happy with the results it gives me, I am also happy to use my phone. I found it also has a learning curve to deliver better results. I have learned from this installment: the value of lurking in a location and continuing to work on the same shot.
I would be very happy with that print too!
Thanks very much. We have hundreds of videos. Some on making prints Vanlife and Wildlife. Mike
Putting on the Ritz indeed! Ha-ha.
It's much quieter over bumpy roads now. Lots more great shots awaiting. Thanks again for watching. Need the boost 😫
@@bellasvistas3463 We are rooting for both of you, Mike!
That looks like a solid repair! Would be surprised if that falls of ij the bear future 😅 have a great trip! Grt guido
Really quieted things down too
Wow, I love that part of Canada. You're in right now. It all looks so calm and open. Hope you're 12-40 will be repaired soon! Loved those blue hour shots of the harbor. All those colourful houses look so good! Grt guido
Just wait for Wednesday morning
