Best Landscapes of 2018 + Deleted Scene

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Awww, thanks man. I'm serious about heading over your way. Not quite sure I'll have time in the near future, but you and Gibbs are selling it!!

[@fototripper]

You got's to make it happen mate. We'll be your local guides. Shame you can't make my Rockies adventure next week. SOOOOOOOO many icy adventures.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Very festive! Cheers, Gavin! some magical photography you have there here's to a brilliant 2019. You still haven't given me back my lens cloth.

[@mlevesque33]

I think it's better for you not getting it back.

[@lupevalenzuela5818]

Pro tip: Smell it to make sure its clean.

[@cicco5833]

Noooooo! Not the breakthrough lens cloth. Worth $40 at least

[@fototripper]

I'll return it in a future vid without mentioning the back story and we'll see which of our fans gets the gag ;)

[@danfry909]

All lens cloths from now on will require a pre-sniff check. God forbid you find a "Caramel Swirl" on one of them :-D

[@NickPage]

oh man.. the haggle over the price of that lens wipe... that is entertainment at its finest haha Adam is a stiff negotiator, but I really think he could have got more. Remind me to bring a few extras when I shoot with you Gavin.. seems to be lucrative (lens cloth flipping)

[@fototripper]

hahahahahah, it's called 'Mountain Currency' for a reason! Come join me in Banff next week for some vlogging hilarity. We're gonna be setting fire to frozen methane bubbles.

[@timmorrow8909]

I got here via Thomas Heaton. Here I found Adam Gibbs. It's been a good year. I love the content and your sense of humor!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Awesome images BTW 👍

[@cotswolddroner7714]

They were all great, but probably Butchart Gardens. When you know that you've crossed a diamond with a pearl and it can't get any better, that had to have been what it was like when you shot this. Bravo!

[@adventurewhitasiam]

This image of a big pierced rock emerges from the ocean, under a cloudy sky is one of your most dramatic image. She carries a big message ... There is that good in the photo, we manage to make speak an image. Every spirit has its own story. It is where the divine and the creation are one !!!

[@emmarita487]

Moonlight with your friend posing. Positively ethereal

[@leafsfan71]

That first photo is absolutely incredible! Well done!

[@yfdmikesmith]

I have to say all the photos are awesome but the fairy tree is absolutely beautiful

[@keepingtherubberdown5715]

Man, to live in a place where you have all that composition. I am very envious.

[@roelp9427]

trees at 7 minute are amazing, they all are great, for me the best is nr 9 WOW. thx for sharing

[@aaronalbores3999]

My favourite ones are the fairy tree and the waterfall in the Faroe Islands sunset. I love the minimalism of the fairy tree and how it stands out over the mist. There's not a lot of minimalism in nature photography, unless you only deal with long exposure seascapes or very special weather conditions like snow or fog, and i just love it. Clearly special conditions to create that picture. Also, the colors are subtle and beautiful, and it inspires calmness and peace. The waterfall in the Faroe Islands is just an epic scene, without doubt, but what i love the most about that picture is the lovely combination of colors with the right amount of saturation. Just beautiful. I think you have here a selection of pretty stunning pictures. My only complain, or criticism, is that i find some pictures too perfect, too crispy... Maybe the postproduction is ever so slightly heavier than i would like in some of them. I tell you this very aware that i was a criminal of postproduction once (not the worse, but still worthy of punishment), but thankfuly now i tend to like more subtle things. Thank you very much for all the laughter and all the beautiful pictures, you earned a faithful suscriber

[@jgjafo]

Really enjoyed this. These are magnificent photos. Personal Fav was the tree with the light bouncing off the pond.

[@thierryl6217]

Adam and you was a great tandem , love your sens of humour , keep going and have a great year

[@doogerbeck2010]

I love your Crystal Mill photo. I grew up in the area and most photographers shoot it from the angle looking south-east where you did it looking south-west which is a really nice change and more creative. Good catch on the fall colors too. That area tends to have them for a very small window due to the lack of sunlight in the fall in that tight valley. Well Done!

[@anvilcloud]

I don't know which I like best, but the scale of that last image with the little dwelling was really impressive. That second forest image with the light rays also rates highly.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Lit from Within was my favorite! I love the natural saturation in it. Thanks for sharing!

[@coopscorner123]

I love all the shots, but I watched the Vlog of you making the trip to get there, and it is my favorite one of the whole year. The Soaking at Crystal Mill. You really earned that shot.

[@mark2shooter]

3 of them from my country ❤

[@BsRm-PH]

I found you and Adam through Thomas videos, I have to say, you have become one of my favorite landscape KZbinrs, you are really funny and your videos are super interesting!!

[@chadhinz4456]

Love the channel. The fairy tree or the mountain shot with Thomas Heaton are my favorites.

[@dumbscsf]

A mixture between Morecombe and Wise, Little and Large and The Chuckle Brothers!! Especially enjoyed the toilet scene, hahaha. Great images, great vlogs 👍😁

[@simonbarnes7124]

The Crystal Mill is my favourite, the dramatic angle, but the light, oh that light on the rocks. Sublime. Plus the drama you had to go through just to get there and get the shot. I live in the south of England where dramatic landscapes are as frequent as a sunny day in Manchester. You must be living the dream out there on Vancouver Island.

[@MJAdams-js7np]

16k? People need to get woke to the fototripper. Best channel I’ve come across in a while. Cheers!

[@Robinkae]

2 words: Magical; Speechless

[@photobrit5660]

Great stuff Gavin!! Found you via Adams channel😳 Happy New Year!! 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@dankuettel5063]

Your humor is fantastic. I love photography and wish I had friends to go shoot with. Looks like great fun.

[@majwal7]

I think the photo at Triple Peak is possibly my favorite, but all those images are truly excellent. Brilliant video and nice round-up of the past year. Keep doing what you're doing and best wishes for 2019.

[@glendarowland51]

OMG. !!! You’re a crack-up. I’ve just discovered your channel. I’m hooked. Where have you been hiding.??? I had to stop this video to wipe my tears of laughter when you showed the lens cloth segment. I would have told you to use leaves before handing over my precious lens cloth. Really appealed to my Aussie sense of humour. Your photography is amazing. I liked the tighter shot. Has more drama.

[@ssmold]

Fabulous photos Gavin! Love your work with Adam & friends! Keep it coming and watch out for the sharts!

[@zoltantolgyesi3891]

#11 Aspen glow. Without hesitation, for me. And I actually have no idea why that one. Just makes me feel good looking at it.

[@chrisanderson3983]

The Soakening at Crystal mill is probably 1 of the best images i have ever seen.sooperb.

[@ArturRozwalak]

I love your photos, can't really pick my favourite cause all of them are gorgeous. Stunning locations. Keep up the good work!!

[@petercseszarik6552]

my favorite is Crystal mill but they are all incredible . looking forward to 2019 best pics. cheers

[@karengirardier2139]

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I'm here. #4 Roots and Rays and #5 Pacific Light are my favorites. As a native PNW'er these are the iconic images that visitors rarely see and cannot be duplicated by another photographer. Keep up the originality and content of your Vlog's which are amazing, good content with potty humor, a winner combination.

[@steffore1]

I couldn’t pick just one as they are all fantastic 👌🏾

[@bryanthornton6787]

LOL!! I'm in tears... Very nice photos!! I must say that you and Adam work well together and wish I had the coin to join y'all's workshop if for nothing more than the comedy.

[@scottbowen6514]

Oh my GAWD! Thos etwo go together like Cagney and Lacey. Like Starsky and Hutch. Just delightful, educational videos. I cant get enough of them

[@jasons.3921]

Loved the content from you and Adam..this was a superb " Best Of 18" video. I cannot wait for the next one.

[@genekied]

I like the Crystal Mill mostly because I lived over the Mountains outside of Crested Butte for five years and have seen the mill many times. Great job, good luck for the future.

[@RobVanElven]

All wonderful images. Especially like these 1,8,9,12,14 & 15. They are magical. Have a great 2019.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Rob.

[@phileckersall4285]

Great collection of lovely photos, thanks for sharing and inspiring us all

[@escarameiaf]

Never felt inclined to landscape photography ... until now. Thank you.

[@obayedh]

Some fantastic shots - love them all. Much thanks for sharing Gavin :)

[@DenisThibeault_inci]

Just came across your Channel this morning - awesome and witty, with amazing imagery! Your shots in the Faroe Islands, especially the one by the water's edge, are simply WOW. I am subscribed!

[@iemboyshostel]

Awesome video Gavin... thanks for sharing awesome images... i like the first one most... mist created an awesome natural leading line

[@photonomist6345]

Inspiring pics and thoroughly enjoyed the backstories! Thank you!

[@bobcat6653]

My fav of this group is the last one, the 'epic' shot of the lighthouse on the Faroes, just spectacular. Thanks for sharing everything with us!

[@tehshins]

Your number two down the drainpipe has to be my favourite. Oh, wait... ;) I kid, #1 all the way - love the minimalist zen feel. Great work this year Gavin.

[@marcusblack2003]

That's a challenge! My favourite image, triple moon glow. The light is just beautiful. Looking forward to a whole new year of fun and photography. Cheers.

[@craigwilson1604]

your vlogs have deffo got better this year funny and some great images, well done kidda!!

[@larryrudnick1519]

All excellent but my fav is the lone tree in the lake. Here's to more adventures and great photos in 2019.

[@iancolston3695]

The Third Cascade :-) superb all of them but I loved the Cascade.

[@drramakrishnaiahh.6681]

Incredible series all so well made so much of plan and effort gone into each of these images. Truly world class result. Love the back lit sea stack image with milky way. I guess the light shaft is created by light painting...

[@prosamy85]

Your videos are awesome. Good combination of landscape photography with good old humor. Never get bored watching your videos, wish you had more videos. Keep up the good work.

[@LarryFasnacht]

The Fairy Tree is my favorite. The mist, the reflection, the tree. Awesome. I would say you've had a super nice year! Also I loved the "TMI" on your out take. And I love your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@joytrimble9282]

O my gosh Gavin keep up the good work they are all great photos and love the blogs

[@scottbowen6514]

Adam is so stiff in his own vids. You pull him out of his comfort zone, and we get to see the inner, dirty and grumpy Adam Gibbs. Love it.

[@fototripper]

oh no. Grumpton requires no pulling out into the light. He's always ready to go.

[@TomHerriman]

This is my first Gavin Hardcastle video viewing... I am impressed and entertained! I am looking forward to watching more of your vlogs! Thanks to Tom Heaton and Nick Page for pointing you out!

[@brendanmcgrane1577]

Great delivery, nicely edited , good content, subscribed.

[@brendanmcgrane1577]

come to Ireland man. you won't regret it.

[@mikemitchell3889]

Gavin, Nick Page sent me over here. It was a great call! Thank-You, Mike

[@DonKittle]

Lots of spectacular waterfall work here - I cannot get enough of those, Gavin. Thanks for this!

[@kennethpreston3798]

The photos are great, the commentary is great and finally someone who's not afraid to make off color jokes! The deleted scene almost caused me to have an accident.... Truly love the channel.

[@fototripper]

heheheh. Glad you liked it.

[@martincutrone5816]

Your videos are a hoot! A d Adam Gibbs is the perfect straight guy for you. My fave is the Butchart gardens image. It's very inviting, warm, peaceful, and the path of stones does draw the viewer right into the image. Congrats on a great year.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Martin

[@DanielMillerlife]

Wow, Nice. I like the Mill shot the best! Happy New Year.

[@bantononabike]

Faroe Islands. It just knocked my socks off!

[@okiepita50t-town28]

If I had to pick just one it would be the Mueller Fawcet waterfall in the Faroe islands. Perfect light and just a gorgeous shot.

[@matssandquist9258]

Can’t choose. They are all that good. Great vlog as allways.

[@halteske6475]

I’ve been to the mill in Colorado and didn’t get the light for my photo so that’s my favorite. Love your humor that accompanies your awesome photography can’t wait for more in 2019

[@markprice470]

a great set of images Gavin and the deleted scene was hilarious - you and Adam work so well together!. My personal favourite is the crystal mill - love the image but also watching the effort that went into capturing it encapsulates landscape photography. Perseverance, effort, bad weather it had the lot - Happy new year!

[@fototripper]

Thanks a lot mate

[@ChrisCapell57]

Have a Good and safe New Year.

[@benlyons8253]

Gavin you nutter, I’ve just started following your channel because Nick Page said too, man I laughed, almost right through, love it and GREAT photos... now get Adams lens cloth sorted 😂👍🏻 nearly forgot... fairy lake... wow 👍👍

[@FromePublishing]

the Faroe shots are great

[@M.Campbell]

After much contemplation "Pacific Light" and "Lit From Within" are my two favorites. The light in those photos can't be beaten and, along with the amazing light, you have a path and multiple layers that create depth and entice the viewer into the scene by making them wonder what's just down that path. As a photographer (rank amateur) I have to admit the truth, to envious cretins, when they insist that catching perfect light involves luck, but as the old saying goes "The harder you work, the luckier you get." Your work shows that you work both hard and smart. Please keep it up. One day I hope to be able to attend a workshop of yours, if you should ever decide to hold one. 😉

[@jrodewald2010]

What a pleasure to stumble upon your work here. Congrats on a great year, looking forward to learning more. And thanks for the great laugh tonight, too, sometimes its all we walk out of the experience with. Cheers.

[@MaciejMarkiewicz]

Fantastic selection of images !

[@elainewilson3122]

Crystal mill my favourite, but most of all, the expression on your face when you are 'behind the tree'. Great vlogs Gavin, keep them coming.

[@fototripper]

Method acting ;)

[@ronmartin1575]

My pal and I have been laughing our way through the woods and beaches of southern Vancouver Island, photographing , and posting on Flickr, for many years, and it is really swell to watch your vlogs and laugh all over again in many of the same places. Carry on the good work, and raise a glass for your next spit-take!

[@ronchapmanII]

Great channel, I love the shots of the faroe islands but all are amazing and I love your sense of humor you make it very entertaining

[@GravityKnightFlying]

That Faroe Islands shot is absolutely unreal (1st one especially)....... freakin wow! man I'd like to do some flying there!!

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

Man, the facial expressions in that scene that didn't make it are priceless. It also explains why Adam's images are not suffering from his shift to Fujifilm.

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

I forgot to write that the images are excellent, in my humble opinion, not least due to the choice of composition.

[@andyrussell7900]

So glad I discovered your channel, can't wait for next year to see what you and Adam get up too . Happy new year to you .

[@Wade_of_Aus]

I love the image of the faroe island of the sea stacks love the weather conditions and mood you captured

[@bio7021]

I’m so glad you got back into this.... your photos are AMAZING. I love watching your channel ... you so funny it honestly makes my day 💩 roll too. 😂😂😂💕💕💕.

[@robertkilbourn5402]

Some great images, entertaining video as usual.. 3 guys I always watch.. Adam, Thomas and yourself.. appreciate your style dude !

[@derekcampbell4413]

Absolutely amazing pics. Can’t pic a favourite, because each shot was so inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

[@RC75]

@ 14’49” I almost pissed in my pants😂😂. My favorite picture is number 1 to 15. I just don’t wan’t to choose between gold and gold. Your work is TOP and I love your humor. Keep going!!!!!

[@markjwilcox]

Keep going with the humour, Gavin. Landscape photography can be very staid without it and it’s something that separates your vlogs from others. Your captures are amazing, by the way, and it’s difficult to say which was the best of the selection shown considering you selected your best to choose from! If I was forced to choose, Lit From Within did it for me with beautiful colour, lighting and, as you said, the composition that draws you into the scene. Happy New Year, Mate.

[@cohibablack]

Beautiful shots mate

[@rmkunihiro]

Happy New Year, Gavin! You by far, have the most interesting and funny videos regarding photography! Love your work.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Bob. See you in the summer :)

[@janm2473]

Totally entertaining and my, my.... the compositions are exquisite and your accent is not too shabby... Thank you for sharing. jan

[@pthomas36]

Thank Adam for putting me onto your channel as well. Great content, and by far the funniest photo vlog out there. Just great. I've also written down a bunch of locations for my next Vancouver Island trip. I expect I'll need a few trips to get what I want but my list has lengthened considerably. I sorely wish I was going on your Faroe trip. That's a bucket list destination for sure. My favourite shot of yours was the one by the water looking at that massive jagged island. Fantastic shot. Happy New Year!

[@simonbarnes7124]

Your humour is just up my street, but I have learned not to drink my coffee watching your videos. I laugh out load and there’s only so much hot coffee I can cope with running out of my nose. Yes, my bloody nose. What is that all about. Thanks to Thomas Heaton for putting your channel my way. It’s so much better listening to a Yorkshireman for a change. Keep going Gavin, this is the best channel on t’internet. Sorry Thomas, you’re yesterday’s news now.😉 There’s a new kid on the block and he takes trez-mendous photos!! Seriously though, you’ve nailed the format to a great KZbin channel. Well impressed and very entertaining. You’ve made landscape photography pretty cool.

[@fototripper]

Thanks a lot Simon and thanks Thom :)

[@veronica0406]

Brilliant photos! Love your channel, your adventures are amazing.

[@GrahamBridgemanClarke01]

Really enjoy your Channel. Like your images, love your humour. All the best for 2019.

[@aliciatangotweety4815]

Thank you, Gavin (and Adam et al) for making these delightful videos! I look forward to every single one!

[@ninacleven7889]

Lovely choices, would be hard to pick a favorite. Keep the videos coming!

[@paulus0109]

I like your work very much Gavin. I hope to see more in 2019 and laugh as much as 2018! Cheers!

[@jaimeestrada5527]

Fantastic images! Thank you!!!

[@susanfirth2279]

Nice shout out to Thomas Heaton. He is how I came across you and your channel. Love his channel as well. I'm supposed to be able to pick one as a fave? All fantastic images Gavin, loved the first one for the minimalism and the lighting, Gorgeous. Each images was fantastic. Looking forward to 2019 and more of your adventures and photography.
