We’re going to Prince Edward Island (PEI, Canada)...

Are you in?

Warning!

Yes, you read it well...

We’re crazy enough to put together an expedition to photograph the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse in a place where the likelihood of cloud coverage in April is 60% (vs the 50% of Texas or the 20% of north Mexico)...

So why PEI?

Well...

First of all...

Who doesn’t like living a risky adventure from time to time?

Life is too short after all.

And second...

Because Prince Edward Island is the only place on the Planet where there is the chance of photographing the Total Solar Eclipse, the Aurora Borealis, the Milky Way and the Comet 12/P Pons-Brooks... in the same week!

So...

Long story short...

Around the New Moon...

From April 3rd to April 9th 2024, Rachel Jones Ross, Antoni Cladera and Bryan Peters (PhotoPills Masters) will be travelling across Prince Edward Island (PEI, Canada) to photograph the Total Solar Eclipse, the Aurora Borealis, the Milky Way and the Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks along with rolling farmlands, red sand beaches, stunning coastal cliffs, colourful harbours and picturesque lighthouses...

Right when the Sun is in the period of solar maximum, which means we will be more likely to see and photograph the dancing green lights of the Aurora!

Of course...

We’ll be taking photos all day long...!

But...

Can you imagine it?

To photograph all the stunning phenomena that occur during a Total Solar Eclipse: the Sun’s Corona, the Diamond Ring, the Bailey's Beads, the Chromosphere, the Partial Phase of the eclipse and the Earthshine on the unlit portion of the Moon…

And to photograph the Aurora Borealis, the Milky Way, the Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks and the beautiful Spring Golden Light with brave seascapes, tall cliffs, red sand beaches, green rolling fields, colourful shacks, Charlottetown’s victorian architecture and iconic lighthouses...

We’re dreaming about it!

To achieve it, we’ll use the planning power of PhotoPills and the expert knowledge of Rachel Jones Ross, Antoni Cladera and Bryan Peters to always be at the right place at the right time.

Top secret: we have quite a few legendary photos planned already... including a few cool alignments with the Sun ;)

It can be done!

We did it in Iceland...

We did it in Namibia...

We’ll do it again in Canada!

Do you want an example of how huge this will be?

This is a glimpse to what happened in the 2016 PhotoPills Expedition to Iceland. We had so many adventures and so much fun... We can’t wait for Canada!

But you don’t have to take our word for granted. Here’s what some PhotoPillers say about the PhotoPills adventures:

“I went to Iceland expecting to have the opportunity to photograph the marvelous landscape and master nightscapes. What I encountered was so much more – 14 kindred souls from across the globe who share a passion for photography. Together we expanded our creative boundaries, learned from one another and had an insane amount of fun in the process. I am confident that everyone came away from the experience a better photographer.”

“From the very moment the guys from PhotoPills announced the expedition to Iceland... I didn’t think it twice! I was using PhotoPills but not at its full capacity, so I had no better chance to learn from the creators of this amazing app. The experience was even more amazing than anything I could have imagined. In Iceland, I discovered a bunch of folks as crazy about photography as I am. I had a blast!

Photography is a continuous learning process, you always find something new that motivates you to improve. And this adventure made me improve more than I could imagine.”

"The PhotoPills guys know how to create a fantastic experience. They bring an infectiously fun energy and are always willing to drop some handy photography knowledge on you that you will take with you. You take their trip and you'll for sure have a good time, get some amazing pics and leave a better photographer."

“During my experience in Iceland I lived wonderful moments and had surprises that were beyond the expected. It completely exceeded my initial expectations! Sharing knowledge, experiences and ways of working and living photography with such a great group has been one of the most enriching life experiences I have ever had.

Who he said that learning and knowledge sharing can not be wonderfully fun?”

“I can't say enough about what a fantastic time I had during the PhotoPills Iceland photo tour! The guys from PhotoPills and Donal Boyd were so knowledgeable, accommodating, and especially lots of fun. Never a dull moment – nonstop action and shooting of amazing landscapes for 10 days. I came away with enough images and memories to last a lifetime!”
