A Wildlife Photographer’s Dream Trip: Capturing Puffins in Newfoundland

Join me on an unforgettable wildlife photography journey in Newfoundland, where I fulfilled a long-time dream of photographing puffins. Ever since I picked up a camera and discovered my love for wildlife, this trip has been high on my lists. In this video, I explore breathtaking landscapes, capture stunning low-light puffin shots, and share the ups and downs of wildlife photography in one of Canada’s most beautiful provinces. I hope this video inspires you to get out and explore the wildlife wonders of nature, no matter where you are.

  1. great Video!!😍
    I was also allowed to observe and photograph the puffins in Iceland and also made a video.
    the puffins are one of my favorite animals☺

  2. Wow, what a great video Curtis!! It is also my dream to go to Newfoundland and photograph Puffins, definitely on my bucket list. What time of the year were you there. Thanks for sharing your experience and great shooting in the future!

  3. I know it takes a lot for you to get out of your home province and or country but I think if you came to Alaska, you’d have a trip of a lifetime

  4. Beautifully scenery and well done video. Very pleasing to watch. Keep exploring and sharing my friend. You make great content! 💕

  5. I absolutely love your video, Curtis! The pictures you have the Puffins yawning and peaking from behind the rocks are incredible (and the flying ones…OK…all of them!). What an incredible and magical experience to be in the presence of Puffins. That will be a trip to remember for a life time. I can't wait to go myself! And a BIG THANK you to you for keeping your distance and not putting stress on the Puffins despite them being curious about you. Thanks for this video! You did such a great job!!

  6. Glad you enjoyed your trip to our province, there's a whole lot to see,,,next time I would highly recommend Gros Mourne National Park. Certainly you could certainly spend a lot of time. As great as the scenery is the people here are amazing as well. Cheers to your next visit and all those who come down this way

  7. Really well done video – it showed up randomly on my front page. Our family is from Bonavista so we're out there often and I've sat in many of the same places chasing puffin pics, glad you got to experience them onshore – it doesn't always happen! Keep up the great work (I checked out your insta, lots of great wildlife images)

  8. Glad you enjoyed your time here. I live in Elliston, and my wife works at the general store. We drive to the Bonavista lighthouse almost every day. Then, when we get back down to Elliston, we drive out to Maberly and do the loop 😊
