My New Book? https://www.fototripper.com/stories-within-stories-landscape-photography-book/ Find me on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@fototripper 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.
