Best Book Ever Written? www.fototripper.com/chasing-a...
Being a landscape photographer often means doing the opposite thing to most people. When Hurricane Fiona rips through Nova Scotia it's time to load up the memory cards and lens cloths because the forecast is calling for 40ft waves.
We quickly realize we've bitten off more than we can chew in just a few seconds of exposure to those calamitous gusts. If my face can't stand the punishment, how will my camera fare?
Luckily Simon d'Entremont brought me a care package in the form of 25 Twirl bars but if he thinks I'm sharing just because it's his birthday, he's sorely mistaken.
A break in the rain offers an opportunity for me to get my camera out but within seconds it suffers a major malfunction and I'm not a happy camper.
Is the Sony A1 mirrorless camera all that it's cracked up to be or am I just rubbish at using it? How on earth do you switch off 'Auto Review'?
The temptation to quit is ever present and I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Will my 100-400mm telephoto lens ever work again? Will Simon take a bite of my sweet, sweet apple and how many Twirls can I shove in my gob without sinking into a diabetic coma?
There's really only one way to find out.
Hit play, then hit like.

Hi Gavin. Great video. I had the same problem with my Sony 200-600 fogging up internally earlier in the year. Bloody pain!.. Lost a load of shots whilst out on a wildlife trip. The auto review on the A1 is menu item 47/52. It's in the 'Setup' menu, last icon on the left. Looks like a toolbox. Then select option 7 'Display Options'. Last option on the first page is Auto Review. One of the first things I turned off when I got mine🙂

Yep been there. I went to Iceland. Trip of a photography lifetime and just had the worst weather. Rain came sideways and just seemed to be constantly hitting the lens, no matter what I did! Too windy for tripods and overall just utter garbage! It wasn't even very good for moody shots! I got drunk a lot instead Lol!

Gavin, without a doubt you are so high up there in my opinion, as one of the ALL TIME Funniest and Exquisitely talented photographers on the globe!! And I want to add my appreciation for how wonderfully generous you are to showcase so many of your peers who you bring on to your videos. I would "never" have found/discovered Simon on my own. But being one of your guest artists endeared him to me and I'm sure so many others. So Thanks again for all of your sharing and entertaining.

One tip for wet weather, keep a couple chamois leathers in your bag. You can drape them over the lens and the camera body. Let them take the soaking. You can wring them out until they're almost dry. The guys at the motorsports events used to use them all the time.

While there may be some danger in going out into this wind and weather, you and Simon did a great job preparing yourselves for what type of conditions you may run into. I think you both came away with some fantastic images from the adventure. We don't get that kind of water action in Colorado, but I am looking forward to the winter snow season, and what it brings to us. I am not sure why the camera would act out like that, especially the a1, I have the A7IV and it has been in some rather terrible weather conditions, and as long as I have the multi shoe cover on it, I have been pretty lucky to not run into any issues.

According to the chocolate scene, you both can start direct and straightforward as pro actors 😅. Besides: Gavin, do you know, with a GFX100s plus WR labelled lenses or e.g. a Nikon Z7 II or a Z9 plus all "S" lenses or D850 plus all of the lenses having a rubber sealed mount, you never have to worry, even not in pouring rain.

Loved the video, reminds me of my time in the area (12 years old) I lived in Arichat, Isle Madame late 60s and early 70s, so I'm guessing you were at Rocky Beach and Pondeville. In storms boulders would be tossed through the air at those beaches, making it quite hazardous to be there. Our old (250year old house) would lean in different directions as the big storms passed by, different doors sticking or becoming unstuck as the wind changed direction. Have many a wild tale in my time while there.

No camera/lens is "waterproof" but there is better "weather-sealed" gear around -- like my Z System cameras (ordered the Z9 in Nov. 2021, got it this March) and lenses. I try to always buy internal focussing lenses for this reason as well. The monsoons have arrived on Vancouver Island (are you pining for the Western Fiords?) so, because I'm a (poor) wimp, I use a rain cover too.
