I'm Rich Because of Landscape Photography

[@MJAdams-js7np]

“Well it’s a dinosaur”-Gavin “sooooo...Ralph?”- Amanda. Her humor cracks me up.

[@DonFather]

I say you are even RICHER because you have Amanda to share all those moments with.

[@fototripper]

So true.

[@joncopley990]

He's after yer lass.

[@kimgrantphotography]

100% agree Gavin. Life is all about experiences and memories. What a stunning location!

[@paynescaping8957]

With health and Amanda, everything else is a bonus

[@michaelmckeag960]

When the notification bubble popped up with something about, “I’m rich because of landscape photography,” my first reaction was oh no, not some jerk bragging about how much money he is making on KZbin and if you buy his 10-episode video course you can become a one-percenter too. But to my great relief and delight it was Gavin banging on about the true wealth bestowed upon those who pursue the play of light on the landscape, proving this is wealth you can share without limit.

[@andrewfphoto]

Undoubtedly the best KZbin presenter of the times - humour without cheese,; technique without blandness; erudition without 1970s Open University monotone. All in all, every one a winner.

[@fototripper]

ahhh Open Uni, those were the days eh.

[@jaycee6996]

Your greatest enrichment is your relationship with Amanda.

[@RickMentore]

Nothing depressing about a fototripper video, just seeing you having fun is worth the view.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I really like your new banana mic @ (1:46) do you have an affiliate link for that?

[@fototripper]

It gets more muffled as you eat more. I'll lend you one ;)

[@TerraPosse]

@@fototripper After you chewed it well, I suppose?

[@jason-joe]

Man you are so inspiring, even the sun didnt came out longer and you forgot your tele lens, you didnt gave up and showed us different beautiful spots you wont notice so easy. Love your Videos!

[@markattardo]

Kayaks are great. Tandem kayaks are called divorce boats. Try before you buy, this would include picking them up to see how easy it will be to get them on your vehicle. Sit on tops are great for hopping off in sketchy places or launching through the surf. Pedal driven kayaks are awesome. Your hands are mostly free to do whatever you like. I'm on ly familiar with Hobie pedal yaks but there are others. Remember safety, safety, safety. Cold water kills. Every spring you hear about it. Those rock formations are wild!

[@oswynfaux]

I drive the Malahat every day and in spring catch the sunrise lighting up the red trunks and green leaves of the Arbutus with a glow heading down hill North just past the split rock lookout.

[@alexgarnett7557]

Recently found you off the back of all the boring serious landscape photographers. You are much easier to pleasure ones self too. On a serious note, the photos and your journey to take them are both amazing.

[@GodIsReal]

I must say, you are my favorite Youtibe channel. Thanks for being you. Very gifted and genuine... makes me laugh when I need it most.

[@altrujillo3566]

My wife and I enjoy all the sorts of eye-rolls Amanda can lay on you, Gavin! Another wonderful video. They bring so many smiles and we love traveling with you.

[@ProfMary]

Thanks for the video and composition tips, Gavin! You sure found a good place for your photos. That formation does look like a dinosaur or dragon. Thanks also for the fashion tips. Always helpful.

[@PhotoTrekr]

Good job. I'm not sure I would have seen the shot of the eroded rock. You're right, the light is what made it.

[@rayspencer5025]

The rock structures are called "Tafoni", also finer examples are sometimes referred to as "rock lace".

[@kolhausen]

“Shhhhhhit.....okay, let me rethink this.” I really think that moment was pretty amazing to watch. 👊🏼

[@evangelostsakiris1067]

Please make a spring outfit trend on one of your next videos, you are my fashion icon!

[@gord281]

We have just stumbled across your channel and are so happy we did!! The funniest man from Yorkshire ‘face like a pre-chewed dumpling ....’ never laughed so much in ages. Looking forward to watching many more of your vlogs and the photography is pretty darn good too!! From Two Lancashire Locals 👍🏻

[@johnnyhulgan3891]

I do enjoy enjoy your videos very much! Always enjoy Amanda (wife or girlfriend) in them with you.

[@twotone3070]

9:48 a desk top print photo moment. Your desk top of course, I wouldn't be so bold.

[@M.Campbell]

9:00 LOVE that photo. Amazing light.

[@tburling1958]

Another excellent video. Perhaps a future one about focal length blending? That pic was excellent. Great stuff, for a Yorkshireman!

[@tonybell1597]

Ahh, Sunday chuckles with the Fototripper gang.... 👏🏼👍😁

[@dinsdalephotography]

You never fail to impress Gavin! Please continue making life more bearable for us poor schmucks here in lockdown. Fantastic shots and Amanda was brilliant. Cheers!

[@craigroethler1495]

...and you get to share your experiences with the lovely, charming and ever patient Amanda...you are indeed rich.

[@fototripper]

[@SourcePhotography]

Absolutely gorgeous photography! And your absolutely right, wealth isn't measured by your bank account, it's measured by life experiences, especially in Nature. Cheers!

[@alextphoto6820]

I totally agree with what you said about the value of landscape photography. For me, photography also has a relaxing and decelerating effect. Simply good for the soul. You are definitely one of the most entertaining, informative and talented photographers I know. I like the cinematic shots in your videos. It makes me want to go out and shoot for myself. But I miss the outtakes at the end of the videos.

[@shovelrocker7102]

I'm still here after watching this video so guess I'll smash that like button apart! Thank you Gavin you're the best.

[@garyheaton3302]

Well said about one of the real reasons to enjoy landscape photography. It really does make you more aware of the environment around you.

[@darioperizzolo2364]

Worked my way through all your videos, and I'm finally up to date with today's. The passion you put into your photos and videos has helped rekindle my love for landscape photography, inspired me to pick my old 50d back up, dust it off and get back out there. Cheers from the Lower Mainland.

[@fototripper]

Brilliant Dario!

[@Francisco.Rizzuti]

Gavin, I was working on my studio pretty bored today and stop for lunch. Watch your video while eating and let me tell you I am smiling now. Thanks for documenting your trips with your usual humor and those photography tips. The perspective blend was a new thing for me! Thanks. You cannot be richier than that!

[@fototripper]

Amen

[@framed-tales]

You are a fashion icon and trendsetter for landscape photographers 🕴

[@pelafotofotografia]

This first image of yours was worth the sacrifice to get to the place, congratulations my friend.

[@matty332010]

Your channel is growing fast, nice to see you doing well. Your videos are great!!

[@StephenBridgett]

So nice to see the two of you out together enjoying what you love. Thanks for sharing.

[@petesuchon7340]

Thanks Gav. Another wonderful Sunday afternoon.

[@Jaydawg1250]

In this world of acquisition = wealth, I really love and appreciate your definition. I wish more folks would really appreciate all that is about us and see the wealth in health and happiness in nature vs. "the number of zeros" in a bank account as you mentioned. Peace & love from Arizona.

[@thelonghaul5214]

one of my favorite bits you do is your time slept/ face like a " insert funny analogy here". this one made me belly laugh. thanks for bringing the fun to landscape photography. when the border opens up, and my health is good enough to hike, i definitely want to join one of your workshops.

[@davebryer6133]

This video shows you are a combination of Bear Grylls and Project Runway, lol. What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing.

[@chrisschaad996]

Hey Gavin your videos are just always top notch quality with hilarious humor and inspiring and very helpful photography tutorials as well. For me you have one of the best photography channels out there!! Keep them coming!

[@fernandosantos8573]

You got me worried here. Too long without a new video. I was wondering is all that icy water from previous video had made some damage. Good to see it didn't. I do fancy that landscape photography fashion look. Now, that idea of one camera one lens, yeah, can't understand it. One wide lens, one telephoto lens, ALWAYS!

[@isabelladavis1363]

ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!!! that seastack much reminds me of a DRAGON @9:26 in a sense at rest, you know we crazy artists see unusual things in the weirdest places...possibly its simply the angle...thanks for your time and travel uploads that take us away from our present realities..with hopes we will all be able to wander FREELY again soon...what a magical place you have presented...

[@craigbartschi4990]

Stunning photo's Gavin, I really like your choices of music in your video's, makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. Cheers!

[@Brock_in_the_North]

I watched Gavins interview with the Irish P.P. and he was on about changing up the music when he had time. I would say don't bother I love the feel good vibes to his music selection.

[@itaylorm]

Gavin you are a machine getting out there for a shot where you had only a few moments to capture the light right. Awesome

[@russdunn9792]

Seaeagle make some wonderful inflatable kayaks, the one we have can be ready to go in about 15 min. and carries enough gear for a long weekend.

[@MattTaggart]

Brilliant idea to exposure blend the two focal lengths - a handy trick I'll tuck away.

[@brucetrue]

Great video. Very life affirming! If you ever have a chance watch Rear Window, a 1954 Hitchcock film. I think Amanda is kind of like the photographer's wife to be in that film. She was played by the late Grace Kelly. Amanda is another way that you're rich Gavin.

[@fototripper]

Stinking Rich ;)

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

What an absolutely gorgeous place, especially with the honey combing on the rocks.

[@FloridaPete1948]

gavin hardcastle, none of your videos are depressing! i watch till the end music starts at the very end and see you try falling...but you never do ;) keep it up sir

[@ianlewisphotography]

Thanks for the fashion tips, will be trying it out soon on my local patch. Will let you know if I make it home alive...

[@chrishall6364]

Always good for a laugh among the more serious stuff!

[@zayitloud]

Gavin, you are so lucky to be able to explore these magnificent scenarios and to photograph them and at the same time make a living out of it. What more can you ask for?? You also have some pretty great landscapes in BC to explore and the support of your girlfriend (or wife??). I'd also love to have these landscapes to explore and photograph myself. Your videos are quite entertaining to watch and you have great processing skills (I've never heard of perspective blending before - the result is neat!) . Keep up the good work!

[@scottkirkman8275]

Awesome shots, Gavin! I love photographing Tafoni in sandstones. Great shapes, textures and colors. Well done!

[@TimotheosEnterprisesMedia]

Gavin you are an excellent story teller and a brilliant photographer...

[@fototripper]

Thank you sir.

[@stew8584]

Lovely sidelight on my camera, oh the pain of one lens and you can see this through the half laugh of every time it was said , if I brought my telephoto.... cheers Gavin.

[@randfee]

lmao... great stuff as usual! absolutely hilarious your reaction to not bringing a telephoto lens. That's what I love about the the canon RF 70-200 and 100-500 ones... they're tiny which is good for bag-size but they're also VERY pricey :-/

[@ronmarsalis941]

Enjoy the video! Gavin I’m not sure if I would be waiting on that call from Keen. From the looks of things, I think they’re going to refer you back to your appropriate footwear. 🥾

[@astralbody]

You hit the nail on the head. The reason you shared about landscape photography and getting out there to witness those special moments and places is one of the main reasons I love landscape photography and photography in general. Spot on. Cheers, Gavin! Ps. I don't mind some extra zeros in my bank balance either tho. ;)

[@andy1753]

Good to see you're still alive after your last adventure. This one still looked cold but at least a bit warmer. Enjoying the vids, good stuff. Makes me want to go places, hopefully not too much longer now.

[@MSmith-Photography]

I love going out into nature to photograph the environment. Just to get a moment or two for a great shot. I went out last week to photograph the Northern Lights and was able to get the best shots I've ever captured.

[@fototripper]

Nice.

[@lisabradley9288]

Love it when Gavin talks us through his compositions and camera settings and his justification behind them. It just aids the learning process. Plus his top notch Yorkshire humour along with Amanda's Canadian humour. Amanda's always a loyal wife standing by her man even when he wants to take her waist high in freezing water all for photography not to mention his awful dress code! I personally was disappointed that with boots with holes, Gavin didn't wear his flip flops!! 🤣

[@mere_mort4l]

Very enjoyable video, as always. These rocks look like the bones of an ancient giant. You captured them beautifully!

What's up Gavin? Once again really good stuff.The golden light cast along the small rock formation, that really look nice. Let's see? A face like a chewed noddle. I bet you were a riot in high school home room. That was really funny. Take it easy man. Peace!!!!

HTFU, always carry a telephoto lens if you are outdoors.. you're a big boy you can handle it!! (said in my best "Uncle Grumpy" Voice) excellent video love our Province of BC,

[@scottgarriott3884]

I couldn't agree with your appreciation of "natural wealth" more! But forget the kayak - get a good canoe (I highly recommend Clipper from Abbotsford). The Europeans (over here where I'm at) all make the same mistake. There is no canoe tradition here (other than crappy canoes for scouts), so they completely disregard all the advantages. A canoe will carry you and your lovely stalker together with camping gear, photo gear etc easily and MUCH more stably than a kayak. You can get in and out much more easily and your bow-person can hop out onto the shore and help guide the canoe safely and stably to where you want it. You can even whip the camera out and shoot from the canoe when needed (seal pops his head up from the water with great light) - try this in a kayak and you'll curse yourself like ... like ... well, like when you don't bring a telephoto. Superb photography as usual.

[@fototripper]

Agreed but sounds like champagne tastes for my beer budget...
