No deer but the other critters are cool! Acadia can be really fun if you don't get stuck in traffic because there is nowhere to park. Getting to your destination super early will help and using the shuttle. We photographed sea birds on the cliffs there once many years ago. I can't remember what they are called, but we don't have them in NY. Photographing loons is fun, we photographed a pair in the Adirondacks on a misty fathers' day. I can hardly wait to get back out there. I wish you the best in Acadia and look forward to that vlog!
Sounds like great memories! And yes, Acadia can be overwhelmingly busy so we tend to stay over on the Schoodic side and head up to Petit Manan wildlife area. Since I live so close (1.5 hrs) to the major park itself, I tend to wait until late September and October to visit the main park. I hope I capture some seabirds you are thinking of! Either way thanks for watching this weeks vlog, see ya soon!
Funny, you mentioned trying to record the natural audio of what is around you - I had just pulled out Merlin to see if I could get some assists with the east coast birds.
Haha that’s awesome! Lots of veery’s, pine warblers, ovenbirds, and goldfinches while I’m out in the blind. I’ve heard grouse drumming but have yet to capture on camera. Thanks for watching!
Curious. What type of head are you using on the monopod? Side mount of some type? Benefits? I have a monopod and rarely use it... so looking to know more. Thanks!
Hey Kelly, I’m using the Leofoto MPG 01 side saddle. Benefits for me are that I only have one knob to control locking. On my gimbal head there are two (panning and the gimbal itself). Other benefit is maneuverability inside the blind and taking up less space. I typically use my tripod for video, but in this case the monopod gives me a better chance of getting the shot. Hope this helps and good luck!
Love shooting macro. I had a professor in grad school who was a plant biologist and he loaned me the Sony 90mm macro for a couple months. When money permits, I’d def add that lens to my arsenal, especially for the mushrooms that grow in the woods here in Maine. Once i see them popping up I'll do a vlog on it!

Love the turkey in the woods. Around here in Boston they’re always in groups and blocking traffic lol. Great job on this one!
Haha oh I bet! City turkeys don’t obey the crosswalk signals. Thanks for watching!

Have you ever tried macro photography? I'm just getting into it and its pretty fun.
