Join us on a personal journey to witness the total solar eclipse of 2024, a mind-blowing experience I'm excited to share with you.
We met up with Simon d'Entremont at Meat Cove, but he's way more prepared than I am. All I did was clean my lens. I forgot to clean the dust spots off my sensor, though.
As I look around at the fancy photography equipment on display, I'm starting to feel woefully unprepared. Ah, well, it's all about the experience. Who really cares about capturing the same shot as 10 million other photographers?
I spoil Simon with some creative tech tips he's never seen before, and he teaches me to suck eggs with compositional ideas.
We start the journey with a major feed at Charlene's Seafood Chowder Shop before braving the saucy switchbacks of the Cabot Trail.
After a night in a mountainside cabin, we finally arrive at Meat Cove. It's the busiest day in its history, and we've yet to find our spot.
Will my lack of preparation ruin my shot, and do I even have enough gear? Will the world end during the eclipse, and why is Amanda crying?
There's really only one way to find out.

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.
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).
My two favorite RUclips photographers together! More, do more 👏🏼👏🏼😂
i cleaned my lens , that's my preparation :) :) :) !!!
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!
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 🤷♂️👍📸
I enjoyed this. Amanda is a TREASURE.
My wife and I loved this one! And, Amanda....oh, my. That part with her looking off in the wrong direction was priceless. Thanks again Gavin!
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.
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 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'.
True dat.
Thank you for taking us along Gavin. Love your adventures with Amanda and so nice to see Simon there also. Awesome spectacle!
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 👌
And that reflected light from the snow onto those trees was another (very quiet miracle) 👍
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 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,
heheh thanks Eric.
Backlighting on purpose with snow. Brilliant.
Glad you did this @fototripper, many of us do our photography vicariously through you, so you photographing this, feels like me photographing it!
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!
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.
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.
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.
My two favourite You Tubers in the same video, awesome
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.
Awesome seeing Simon .Another favorite Photographer
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Our home was in the middle of totality during the 2017 eclipse & the light and feeling during an eclipse is INCREDIBLE!
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!
I love Simon!
Really enjoyed this video. I always enjoy the videos where you show the traveling to the location, stopping off for food, and just enjoying the journey. Love those high quality tips for those of us slightly less prepared for an eclipse (or too poor for for that rig of Simon's). My favorite part of the video was the tips on the winter light with the snow. I live in the desert so I didn't know the snow did that and I really liked the photo of the tree. Great job! Oh, and your eclipse photo was awesome too.
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.
You and Grumpton ;)
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.
Hi Gavin, great video. So, I realize the topic is about total eclipse, however, in South Florida, Miami-specifically, at 15:12 EST.
I looked up and saw cloud cover acting as a natural diffuser. I was out walking without my camera equipment; all I had was my iPhone12. I decided to zoom all the way in and got a really nice shot of the partial eclipse seen in this area, perfectly framed by palm tree branches and clouds circling the sun. Too bad I cannot upload a copy of the shot to share it.
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.
A safety note to anyone using a DSLR (or other optical device that delivers the suns rays through an eyepiece) - *never* look at the sun directly through your viewfinder. Always use the "live view" monitor. The IR radiation can cook your retina and you wouldn't even feel it because the retina has no pain receptors. Even with 10 or 15 stop ND filters, as many do not stop IR radiation even though they stop visible light. With mirrorless you won't damage your retina looking through the electronic viewfinder, though you still might damage your sensor.
Really enjoyed video..Beautiful location. Your eclipse photos were great but the time lapse was superb. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing that! I've avoided watching any videos up to this point knowing I missed something special but your take on it made me finally watch the event - I enjoyed your experience and humour as always!
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….🤭
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.
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!
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.
Awesome, my two favorite you tubers! ❤
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.
Well done Gavin , wish I woulda took my filter off to get those solar flares but was too nervous dang it !
awesome, total eclipse happening here in New Zealand in 2028 across the South Island in March, you should visit New Zealand, awesome scenery.
❤❤❤great video
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.
Great video, as ever, Gavin! Truly the shenanigans are alive :)
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.
Best solar eclipse photos I have seen on RUclips
I knew Amanda reminded me of someone.... She looks a little like Rosamund Pike (Similar eye shape.).
I alway remember the total eclipse of 1999 in the UK, strange how the birds reacted just before and after totality.
I always say she has upside-down smiles for eyes :)
aw no way simon d'entremont! cool seeing him not doing wildlife! awesome!
Sadly, I was stuck with 62% of totality and wasn't totally prepared. Our forecast was for complete cloud cover all day, but when I realized that the clouds were going to give us just a hint of sun, I rushed home from work to grab my camera and an ND filter.
I got a couple of decent shots, so I'm not disappointed.
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?
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!
Gavin, you did it! Outstanding!
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.
Another great video! Well done Gavin. 👏 👏 👏 Thanks to you, I'm now starting to look forward to our total eclipse here on the 22 July 2028, even if it's still four yrs away. It cuts right through the centre of Australia, plenty of room for everyone.
It was such an awe-inspiring event. I've seen two total solar eclipses now, and I'm hooked.
Thank you. The world of photography can't manage to show all of us this event. I thank you for this in that quality.
You should do an eclipse workshop trip for 2026 !!! I’d love that !
Great vid and good to see Simon with you as well. Some superb shots and, like you, I am also a convert. So, will see you in northern Spain 2026. 🙂
See you in Spain!
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
2 of my fav RUclipsrs!!
Loved the free composition lesson from Simon, and of course your reaction (outrage?)to it. 😂
Nice stuff, mate!
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.
Hey Gavin and Amanda, thanks for sharing your experience. I was lucky to watch the October 1999 eclipse in Germany. Unforgettable. It is a mind blowing experience. - To whom it may concern, that so called solar prominence at 7 o’clock has about the hight of at least five planet Earth (educated guess). They are quite stable and may remain for weeks or even months.
Aye, scary to think how massive that is.
I don't care if those are the same shots as everyone else. They are awesome! Great to experience this with you and Amanda.
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.
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.
That must have been amazing to see. I didn’t even think to fly out that way to see it. Oh well I bet Iceland will be a good one in 2026!
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.
Super awesome and fun experience share. Loved the B roll also. High-5 n' Smilz !
That was awesome. I'm on the west coast and didn''t get to see it this time around. Spain 2026 it is then :)
Amazing, thanks for sharing with us in cloudy UK.
This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
You lucky sod, not only having it close and available but also spending time with your protégé :-)
Quality images Pal
heheh cheers mate.
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.
So happy you got to experience it...and thank you for taking us for the ride...In the Laurentians, Qc, we had partial but the light was amazing.
Gavin: The Pied Piper of Meat Cove!
(Nice shots!)
Brilliant work and like your sense of humor. You inspire me a lot in fact I moved from Malta to Ireland to be more closer to nature and photography
Glad you had a great time Gavin. Also very cool of you to give exposure to other smaller channels.. **checks Simon sub-count** ..eeehhhnnnyway, 12th August 2026, 8:30pm in Spain. 10° elevation in northern Spain, 2° in Majorca! 5:50pm in Iceland, 24°, only just in totality on the west coast mind you.
I just loved this!!! Nothing more to say about that really! 🌙🌙🌙
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
Wow...this looked like an amazing experience.
Thankyou so much Gavin for this video, it was fantastic to watch and to see the eclipse.
I didn't know how photographers actually took these photo's did they do or use anything different when taking these lovely photos.
Looking forward to my book arriving it won't be long now😊.
See you next time..
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.
😂 awesome!
Glad I'm not the only person who gets schooled by Simon, at least that's the way this sailor sees it ~~_/)_~~
