Time Lapse Drive: Québec City, Québec to Moncton, New Brunswick
July 3, 2017 - Today features the longest single day's worth of driving on this entire journey. Starting in the beautiful capital city of Québec - also called Québec (City), I head eastward along the world-famous Trans-Canada Highway to the city of Moncton, in the southeast corner of New Brunswick.
It turned out to be a very scenic drive! For the first few hours as I drive through the Québec countryside, I'm never more than 5 kilometres away from the ever-widening Saint Lawrence River. Turning inland at Riviére-du-Loup, I cross the northern reaches of the Appalachian Mountains and enter my seventh Canadian province, New Brunswick.
The majority of the rest of the journey features the Trans-Canada Highway hugging the banks of the Saint John River, which was the most scenic segment of the drive. Towns are numerous but larger cities are few and far between.
Along the way I made sure to have a few quick stops: Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Québec, lunch in Saint Leonard (near the Maine/American border), checking out the longest covered bridge in the world in Hartland, New Brunswick, a quick tour of the capital city of Fredericton, and getting lost in a few suburbs along the way, en route to my final destination of Moncton.
It was a gorgeous day for a gorgeous drive!
As you can see on the map, the drive was very much a zig-zag between Québec City and Moncton - the U.S. state of Maine really gets in the way...but that doesn't excuse New Brunswick from ignoring the Pythagorean theorem when constructing the Trans-Canada Highway.
Sure, most of the population lives along the banks of the Saint John River, but A-squared plus B-squared equals C-squared. Today was a LONG day...I could've gone for some of that C-squared action.
The journey continues tomorrow in Moncton!

A Drive around Fredericton, New Brunswick Dashcam
This drive provides a tour of Fredericton, New Brunswick, on a beautiful fall day that was almost spoiled by fog. You'll see me drive into the fog near the river and downtown, but after a brief walk across Fredericton's pedestrian bridge, the fog lifts, and I made another loop around town, just so you could see everything again.

I made this trip in early October, 2016. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera, mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

3 Things I Learned on my Photography Trip to Iceland
My photography trip to Iceland is over and I'm heading home. Here are 3 things I learned.
Check out Ivan and me on Instagram at @IvanThorPhoto and @Brendanvanson
See Gareth ( and Steve ( for more Iceland coverage soon.
Photography online back up:
It's my last Iceland Vlog as Jeff and I are dropping people off at the airport and ending this photography trip.
The Photography trip to Iceland has been amazing. And, all the participants have been incredible.
I learned a lot on this photo trip, too. Yes, I was the guide and instructor, but I think that no matter your position you should always be seeking to grow and learn. This trip was no different.
The three things I learned in Iceland were:
1) Photographers who want to sell their images can't shoot the same locations everyone else does. If you shoot photography at the iconic places only, it's hard to sell the files as there's so much competition. Find new places to shoot.
2) The big difference between making it as a pro photographer and not is finding the time to shoot. You really need to dive in and commit if you want to be a professional photographer.
3) I've been lucky in so many ways. I've never had broken camera gear. I've never lost files. And, I've been pretty careless. So, I need to get better at protecting my gear.
This is the last Iceland Vlog, and I do head back to England at the end of this episode.
The next photography vlog will be from back here in England. So, I hope you stay tuned to the channel for those episodes.
A Day of Landscape Photography in Cornwall | Bedruthan Steps, St. Nectan's Glen & Land's End
The vlog today features landscape photography in Corwall. What an amazing place to shoot pictures!
For my landscape photography check out my Instagram: @brendanvanson.
I'm on a landscape photography road trip to Cornwall this week. On this photography vlog, I get told all the time that I need to go and shoot Cornwall. So, I've finally taken your advice and headed that way. I'm glad I did. Yesterday, I shot a cool landscape just outside of Cornwall (see the video here: ). Then, I ended that photography vlog by sleeping in my car at Bedruthan Steps when I planned on shooting sunrise this morning. In the end, that's exactly what I did.
Bedruthan Steps is a great place for landscape photography. I got up before sunrise and hiked down to my location and managed to get some beautiful pastel colours in the sky before the sun rose. I loved the location, and the pre-sunrise light was just perfect for the photos I wanted. I got some cool lines of the coast, the steps, and the sea in my frame. I was beyond happy with the way my imagery came out that morning.
I hiked out of Bedruthan steps just after sunrise and moved on to my next location: St. Nectan's Glen.
St. Nectan's Glen was also a cool location. It was about a 20 minute hike into the waterfall. The waterfall is privately owned, so it does cost some cash. The entry fee was 5 pounds, but they do lend you some rubber boots with the entry fee, so it's worth it. I shot a couple images there, had a blast and then drove off to my final location of the day.
Land's end was a brilliant spot for landscape photography in Cornwall. Just an absolutely incredible place to shoot.
I didn't exactly find my landscape photography location - I wanted to shoot the arch - but I still found a cool location, and the light just exploded! I ended the vlog there just after sunrise.
On the photography vlog tomorrow I am going to be shooting another location in Cornwall before making my way home. So stay tuned for more fun.

What is Fine Art Landscape Photography? | Hartland Quay
What is fine art photography? I look at that question in the photo vlog today at Hartland Quay.
For my landscape photography, follow me on Instagram at @brendanvanson.
After my photography trip ended a couple days ago, my string of assignments is basically over for a bit. So, I wanted to go out and do some me trips. I especially wanted to do a road trip out to Cornall to do some shooting.
I stopped at Hartland Quay to do some fine art landscape photography just before arriving in Cornwall. It such a cool spot, and a great place to talk about the difference between fine art photography and travel photography.
Essentailly, fine art photography is when you're trying to sell the image as art. Travel photography is when you're trying to use the photo to sell the destination or experience. At Hartland Quay, I shot the former. And, though I'm a travel photographer by trade it was fun to shoot some fine art photography for a change.
Hartland Quay really is a cool place. And though I didn't get good light, it's the type of seascape that I think you could basically photograph in any light and it looks cool. It's nature alone that looks like art.
For this fine art landscape photography tutorial, I kind of focused on simplifying my shots. I even flipped some stuff to black and white which I really rarely do. But, it was so fitting at Hartland Quay.
Tomorrow on the photography channel, I head into Cornwall for a day full of landscape photography. I'm planning on hitting some cool spots. So, hopefully the light cooperates.

New Brunswick into Maine on Interstate 95's North End
This video begins in Woodstock, New Brunswick, and heads directly towards the US/Canadian border, where Interstate 95 begins. The drive follows I-95 south, past numerous trees, to the town of Howland -- where I stopped, just because I needed a break.
