Damn right Ricky!

[@savagefrieze4675]

Never give up and never give in when fighting cancer. Keep the faith. those of us who are survivors will be cheering you on and looking forward to seeing you in a fototripper video!

@@savagefrieze4675 thank you very very much ❤️ I will fight till the end. Monday is another Chemotherapie.. I hope it won't be as bad as last time.

100% the best photography channel on KZbin.

[@samstone91]

100% agree!

Agree, has me in tears every time.

[@jeremycornishjc]

Agreed 👍

[@karynhonor5046]

I appreciate that you show the failed lighting/shots as well as the triumphs... they honestly make all of us feel better since we have more failed shots than successes.

[@JohnDoe-ws5iv]

Your channel is PRICELESS and you two are just magic together!!!!!!📸

[@markjwilcox]

Hey, Gavin. Thanks to you and Amanda for keeping upbeat in your content, considering all that’s going on in the world at present. 🙂

[@astro_josh]

Get well soon, Ricky ♡

I am really envious, I really wish I could quit my life in the UK and move over there.

'One stop short of a long exposure' 😄

[@petegerardini2455]

I'm going to be using that line one day.

[@LaurenceBakerAdobe]

No dog and no life-changing car crash? My god, someone that's got some originality and personality who is also a landscape photographer. Landscape photography is not particularly difficult. You manage to keep it light, informative and entertaining. Keep it up.

[@TheSpaniel1]

I’m binge watching and I’m doubled up laughing…..Amanda saying ‘ I might s**t my pants’ oh my god I nearly fell off my chair!!! 😂😂. Please keep the videos coming and thank you for sharing

[@stacybamon6073]

Amanda is awesome, prepares creative and interesting meals for you and copes with all your foibles.

[@alohaleslie9407]

LOL Amanda is my kinda gal. Love her wild sense of humor. Thanks again!

[@mrjiggawatt]

I love the blooper reel at the end of most of your videos.

[@hyphenphotography]

Builder's knee pads..... one of the best bits of photography kit I have. Worth their weight in gold. They've saved my poor old knees loads of times

[@rexgold101]

Ahhh... One stop short of a Long Exposure.... ha ha ha ha!!!! you both Rock...

[@murraycotton352]

I always have a pair of knee pads in my backpack that I use for the "down low and close" shots. I don't go out without them!

[@kolhausen]

Loved this one! By the way, who is the kind of person to give this a "thumbs down?" That's so dumb.

[@fototripper]

There are some sad sacks out there.

[@clicktoart]

Great shot Gavin! I wouldn’t have believed that area of calm water was so small if I hadn’t seen it. Having the luxury to stay an extra day is huge. The camper definitely pays off.

[@markattardo]

Always fun watching you both. Nice photo and tips. Save what's left of my knees...check!

[@paulkay8986]

Well done Gavin mate. In a year that hasn't at times brought a lot of cheer, you bring an enjoyable mix of photographic excellence and tomfoolery...

[@JamesWilliam70]

Pauses video- That mountain reminds of your kinky wavy hairstyle today. Presses play...

[@serduvelo]

very realistic descriptions of the life of a landscape/nature photographer. And the humor is great!

[@thebinpustey6497]

I’m noting your fantastic early-morning hairstyles on nearly every video, when you’re up for sunrise shoots, lol!

[@paulbelliphotography]

Dude! I can't believe this channel is only at 51k... This stat is not tresmendous!

[@MattTaggart]

I'm subscribed to a number of your contemporaries, and I'm not sure why it took so long for me to find you, but I love the great energy. Keep up the great work.

[@robertforehand]

I have to say, it's pretty great to see a couple who seemingly enjoys being around each other as much as you and Amanda do. Now, off to buy chapter 3!

[@davidakoubian3025]

I will say this, you guys are perfect together.

[@markwilliford7471]

Gavin you are a hoot. Thanks again for the good laughs and a bit of photography too.

[@PaulFaracePhotography]

Haha no meat for you and no gluten for her? What are you two on, seeds and wild onions? Great vid mate, love the slight balance back to teaching without sacrificing all my laughs.

[@michaeltillman886]

What's up Gavin? You've got a real cool girl. You guys look to be having so much fun together. That was a really funny skit. You two take it easy. Peace!!!!

[@peacockmick2]

Another awesome video gavin

[@Mr_Grumpy]

I really love your tips and tricks to make better photos, thank you. Cheers.

[@jasonschnorr8893]

Another good one Gavin! You two are freaking hilarious!

[@rainee6651]

I love watching your videos. I’ve learnt so much. Thank you Gavin!

Magnifique réflexions Gavin :-)

[@outisfound9956]

This offers enjoyment during excel spreadsheets. I know wow such high praise. Enjoyed thank you.

[@photografia]

I know is not probably what like to hear from your fans, but every time I watch your videos I feel joy returning to the world!

[@craiggillphotography8030]

Stunning shot again 👏

[@andyprime56]

At last, a photography channel with humour from a guy named Gavin. One of my oldest pals is also named Gavin Hardcastle, no joke! He’s not a photographer, he’s a decorator, and he has no sense of humour, he’d be crap at vlogging I think......

[@danielhenzphotography]

Wow, I didn't know, you are a time lord. From September to November in a heartbeat 😜 And the image is great

[@geoffwhittle7476]

Lord Hardcastle, this was another stupendous video, I am glad you sacrifice your much needed beauty sleep for the perfect shot. I am glad that the flake was not wasted. As a Brit now living in Florida to waste good english chocolate would have been an absolute crime that would have been reported to the authorities;) Keep up the good work Lord & Lady Hardcastle.

[@fototripper]

Rightly so!

[@adamsmith6594]

I'm afraid it just starts with the knees mate. As time goes on various chunks of anatomy will begin to drip, or droop and eventually you just succum to a daily prioritisation of what had failed catastrophically during sleep, and address it with various creams, poultices and bruffen 😒

[@pathogan4854]

" 1 stop short of a long exposure" priceless !! we saw "a sandwich short of a picnic" Calamity Jane and wild bill Hickock Come to mind ! love this channel.

[@jpopenimage]

Great content, great photos and great fun, thanks for sharing, and keep the great work and having fun while doing it :)

[@LowLightMike]

When you and Amanda are talking at the creek, after your morning photo, the colours of both your jackets are so perfect for the scene. Those colours pop :)

[@GHutube8]

Nice tip on the polarizer.

[@matssandquist9258]

You guys light up my day and some useful tips as always. My brother in law couldn't nearly walk before his knee operation (he played rugby for many years) but after replaced both knees with new parts he walks like a young man again.

[@roysheets4159]

You can use knee pads, or a big piece of foam to kneel on. Don't forget a knee brace or wrap for each knee

[@DOM_4GOOD]

some people get succes because they are reel, Human, logic and fun... thanks for all of this Gavin !

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

@1.17, that shape of the geology is called a syncline. Those are folded sedimentary layers. Next time leave Brent at home and invite a geologist to come along. I'll never forget a comment from one of my early professors; "to the non-geologist, a walk through the mountains is like a walk through an art show, but the paintings are all turned away, towards the wall". By the way, the early wake up was well worth it, that a beautiful image. Looks like the Canadian Rockies were in beautiful form for fall color. Both you and Adam have produced some excellent stuff this year.

[@robroyig-robroyphotography9225]

Thank goodness for ones like you and Amanda, amidst all the chaos, that keep me passionate about landscape photography...and making me laugh OUT loud 🤣. Keep up the great work Gavin! The tip about when to use a CP, spot on.

[@lylestavast7652]

knees - take one of those rollup sleeping mats, but leave it rolled up and kneel on it in that shape - really helps. the coiling absorbs quite a bit...

[@JohnnyMotel99]

Or a closed cell garden pad?

[@rogercaughell4282]

Your point about using the tiny "puddle" as foreground was the biggest nugget in this one. Lots of fun to watch and learn. It would have been nice to have an extended look at your final product as an end shot.

[@fubband]

Top draw photography and advice, plus top draw comedy...what’s not to love! 🙌🏻🤣

[@bobkent007]

I have to say that is one of my favourite photography videos ever... as a hobby photographer the chances of getting out are not very often, so I decided to ignore the weather forecasts her in the UK some time ago, the result was some fantastic conditions I would have missed as you say if I had followed them. The knees hit home for me being a young 56 year old getting down to those reflection shots.. Awesome shots by the way and respect for the image you dedicated, my thoughts are with them. But the main thing was how much you seemed to enjoy the trip and the emotion that you obviously felt at the time. Very useful very entertaining. Thank you :-) Oh and Amanda was alright too ;-)

[@ChrisKoehn]

9:00 exactly! Just get out there. And regarding patience, as soon as I get the urge to pack up and move on, I try to force myself to stay for at least another few minutes.

[@ChrisKoehn]

Nice touch shouting out Ricky.

[@nickleach3570]

Love your videos! Another classic!

[@finchkneale]

I always look forward to the outtakes and bloopers at the end. Did not disappoint 😂

[@garrygraham6637]

Seriously,your hair was intruding on my ability to focus on what you were teaching me,one word Gavin ,hat

[@michaelbottari6398]

I like your style of video and the image you are take so much. Your vidoes are so fresh and entertaining, but it gives so good skills to the viewer. Yes it intertains with teaching. Great job!!!

[@andyleggett3115]

Well done, Gavin. Great viewing as always!

[@antonoat]

They say most geniuses are usually bonkers too, lol. Great laughs but fantastic results with the photos, always a real pleasure listening to you talk through your methods. Stay safe you two, all the best from a wet and windy UK.

[@marciapaul-assing1444]

Garvin, I love that pic.

[@rickbrowne519]

"Eat my weiner!" - I can just imagine the shocked tourist standing outside your camper van hearing you and Amanda!

[@jimpaquet4942]

Can't give you my knees, they aren't worth much at 70...but a young fellow like you can get some knee pads at your favorite hardware or tool store and gain yourself years of activity without pain! I never look at one of your videos without a laugh. Hope that I can join you in a workshop some day in the Canadian Rockies!

[@robhamilton8993]

Love to see how you edit and “photo stack” an image. You guys are terrific

[@wolfsheadphotographic2521]

I don’t know if you noticed, but one of the clips with the RV looks as though you’ve planted pine trees along it’s roof! With regards to knees, I got a pair of gardening gel filled knee pads. They make a massive difference! Ps, love the shot!

[@megasta66]

Great vision to make a small forground element have a big impact. Awesome shot. And always entertaining.

[@bigsandybriarroark4406]

I have to say, such an inspiration, I always look forward to your videos. Your such a lucky individual to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

[@bozark1]

Gavin, you rock the “Startled Badger” look!

[@pfahan]

Just wanted to say I love that you still use the same fototripper music that you always have. Give me some nice nostalgia back to the days I was starting photography and watched every single one of your videos lol

[@fototripper]

Jeez. Nostalgia? Have I been around that long?

[@seanbell6371]

Another good one. I wonder what your RV neighbours thought was going on that night :-)

[@hilarywhite0]

Lovely photo! Amanda always looks so stylish! Great video as always.

[@lisabradley9288]

Pure comedy 🤣 plus brilliant photography. What more do we need, a longer episode of course!

[@jasoningram3758]

You do make me smile Gavin, great video.. Just the tonic after a very long hard week. Great shot too

[@philfyphil]

You have the perfect recipe, great photography, funny content, gorgeous partner, so it’s a mystery why you only have 50k subscribers?

[@fototripper]

Actually, it's a travesty.

[@philfyphil]

@@fototripper At least you can appreciate those of us who are here. We can spread the word. I want to see Amanda with either a camera, or you giving her a photography lesson! I can foresee a funny episode (no offence by the way, she may already be a good photographer and be hiding it!). It could actually be an educational episode for some. Keep up the great work (and mostly funny jokes!!) :-)

[@mickyp3357]

Never fails to make me laugh! Top photography tips, plus some 'serious' Amanda and Gavin romance. What more could you want eh?!!

[@johnround8311]

No problem for knee replacement. Our clinic fee is $12,510.25 per knee or 5% off if both are done at the same time. Contact J.D. Farm Services., Maidenhead Sask.

[@StachR34]

Gavin!... I soooo have to get over there and start to breathe in these beautiful scenes!... :) Love your wit and love for nature my friend :)

[@gordroberts53]

Fun episode, keep bringing Amada along, her wacky sense of humour is a good counterpoint to your rather serious approach to life. Aside from making me laugh often and hard, I also learned some good bits on composition so thanks for that as well. Take care, stay safe and cheers from Van Isle.

[@derekwillson2538]

Hi Gavin, your recent videos have featured some of your best work, the locations have been magnificent. I am thoroughly enjoying all your content while being thoroughly miserable about lock-down in what I find a very flat and uninspiring landscape of south West Sussex. keep up the work and please feature more of Amanda's truly original recipes!

[@andybone]

keep them coming and make them longer so entertaining from a great couple, great pics too

[@mickcarr5031]

top draw photos and top draw entertainment from you pair as always, love it!

[@vanzylrichard1]

I absolutely love this channel. So inspiring. Makes me want to go out and shoot all the time. Keep it up. You folks rock like a rocky thing.

[@lowellprice6351]

Great video. The top of Mount Kidd (V shape) is a syncline that was created when the land mass was thrusted (horizontal movement) into position from west to east (created the mountains, along with subsequent erosion and glaciation).

[@fototripper]

Next time I go I'll pause and then read that from my phone to seem knowledgeable.

[@ianbachanek2538]

Great video! I know Fjallraven pants have knee pads you can buy and slide in. I'm sure other manufacturers may have similar too. A Fototripper video and in 1.5 hours an Adam Gibbs live presentation at Visteks Pro Fusion Expo. Awesome day!

[@johnprisk]

"Eat my weiner!" Has got to be the funniest thing I've heard since "I love Adam Gibbs!" 😁 Ya made my day 😁

[@DamonBowe]

Photography, beauty tips and food? I'm in!

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

For me it depends on if there's anything like a nice interesting stone coming out the water as to whether I polarise. You need a bit of contrast in those situations so sometimes go unpolarised

[@andrewlloyd-seetim1271]

Flake Dog - culinary masterpiece right there. 🤪🤣

[@simonbarnes7124]

Oh, btw, fantastic photograph. That mountain range even after yours shots as you were talking to camera were still amazing. Having a camper van is ideal for getting those killer shots. Always an honour watching a master craftsman at work. I didn’t even clock the Segway from you talking to us about the scene and the promotion of your master class techniques. Very subliminal. You’re not in sales and marketing by any chance are you!!

[@richiebolgianiphotography2989]

That is a stunner of a shot, Shame cant say the same about that new flakedog, Lookroward to next round.
