Algonquin Adventures / "The Big Dipper" - 8 Days Alone in Algonquin Park, September 2021

I shared the written trip report for this trip a while ago but I finally got around to making the video. It's my first vlog style video. I only decided halfway through the trip to start talking to the camera, so the first few days are basically just scenery shots with some post trip narration. The full video is 58 minutes. Hope you enjoy it

I watched the video. Very well done! The nighttime photography was pretty cool to see! Awesome looking sites ill have to add that section of the park to my wish list.

Thanks! I've done astro photography before but it was my first attempt at doing astro timelapses and I was pretty happy with the results. Not happy with YouTube's compression and how it makes it look all crappy, but that's another story lol.

It's a beautiful area of the park to visit, especially if you can avoid the busiest summer months.

How many times do you do the "hmmm my hand is in a bad position as I'm using this saw, I better change positions TOO LATE" injury before you learn? Asking for a friend. Hoping the answer is also one.

Depends if you're ambidextrous!
