Have you got a Luminar for morons tutorial in the works? TIC

[@KenToney]

Get the A1, had mine 8 months and haven’t had to clean sensor with the electronic shutter cover!!

@@54Mizery Oh now you're talking - yes please!

[@ddki9094]

Just purchased. Already learning more techniques while working in my 9-5 job. You are a great teacher.

[@fototripper]

@@ddki9094 Thanks muchly :)

[@CostaMesaPhotography]

I DEFINITELY like to see the SOC, minor, and final edited image. You don't have to do all of them, but maybe one per video. What I like about uncle grumpy's approach is that by showing the RAW image, it conveys a certain honesty that the final image is good, not because of photoshopping (although that obviously improves it), but because the original capture was good. What I really like about your approach is that you gave some explanation as to why your SOC looked the way it did, and what you had in mind when capturing it. Very nice video Gavin.

[@mwschaff]

Loved the before and after explanation. Just the right amount of explanation without going overboard on it.

[@djbrickhouse1]

Keep up the before and after segments. I like seeing how much editing goes into your final image and the thought process behind it.

[@AB-di3tl]

I prefer the fourth - the color of the tree stands out, it feels isolated, and it shows the angle of the stump the little tree is growing on in relation to the water. Yes, please create more post-processing videos, with more detail. Thank you.

[@WildlikeDestination]

Definitely keep on doing more of Before/Afters. 👌

[@benashton5325]

Fantastic Video 👏 Loved the images 🙌 It was great to see the before and after of your images at the end of the video. You really have a great way of explaining the whole process of capturing the image from start to finish. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏

[@ekqvistniko9114]

I love that befor after part. That comparison shows me that I know how shoot but there is something to learn in editing

[@BrianHorsey]

Top centre, the last one processed for me, I thought it had a slightly better balance. I’d love to see more ‘before and afters’.

[@iamdebmiller]

I like the before, midway and after discussions. I am also tickled to see the return of a "... do have a fess ..." Those are hilarious, and I have spit out food laughing so hard at many of them. Gavin, you could do a magnifique video of nothing but face cracks edited together, and I bet millions would love it! I know I would. And if you placed Thomas Heaton in the center of it by the murder box camper when he's screeching, "Look at it! Look at it!" well, that would just be over the top hilarious.

[@SaltAndSirens]

I like the process part at the end, shows not every shot is perfect straight out of camera and I find that more encouraging.

[@christeeny99]

Thanks for sharing! I loved all the photos. I especially enjoyed seeing the 3 stages and how the pics were developed from RAW out of camera. That is very helpful and encouraging fro some of my shots. I hope you continue to do that in your videos.

[@InfiniteSpaceMedia]

My favorite day of the week has arrived 😎 Excited to see the East coast photos this summer!

[@stephenoliver7386]

Great work as usual and I learn so much from your editing, so thank you for all the work you put in, it’s much appreciated.

[@fredschwab2718]

Very much enjoyed the insight on your process. Seeing the before vs. after images is a great addition. Thank you Gavin!

[@JureeJames]

I just LOVE the walk through of the camera RAW to finished photos - please do more! You pass on a lot of knowledge to us photo 'morons' when you talk about what you did, why you did it, and how it create the final image you intended. And we are HERE FOR IT! Thanks!

[@andycoleman2708]

I like the third one and how the off-center tree still feels balanced because of the background. And I really do enjoy seeing how and why you edit the way you do.

[@fernandosantos8573]

Loved all 4 photos. Loved the raw and the final image comparison. Please keep doing this because is of great help for us to understand what is happening in post-processing.

[@MikeScheerer]

Hi Gavin, the 4th shot speaks to me the loudest, but I love them all. Would certainly love to see more of the before and after processing stuff, really interesting to see the transition from raw to post processed. Keep up the fine work.

[@maryl1833]

Gavin, I agree with Anna Galach! The background adds to the fairy look. So calming. Love the raw and after; will convince me to shoot in raw because I have been afraid of post processing - that it may be too technical for me. Your Photoshop for Morons will make me less - well, moronic!

[@benbeattie4609]

Definitely more photoshop insights please!! Superb, as always Gavin!!

[@picsbyrob]

Your videos are always funny and educational I did like your comparison of images at the end. I appreciate that you only an overview and not details of the exact edits. It gives the viewers a chance to see a comparison of how some relatively small adjustments can make a big difference to the final image. Even if you don’t do that every video, occasionally seeing this type of comparison would be great. Keep up the hilarious work!

[@winkrichardson]

Yes, loved you showing out of camera to finish. Favourite was the vertical with tree slightly off centre.

[@stevehunt4971]

Final shot is my favourite. Love the highlight on the foliage behind. Gives the shot some depth. Thanks for showing the edits. I find it helpful to see how others edit there photos. Much appreciated. Cheers.

[@janicemurchie1487]

Thank you for showing your post processing. Last photo was my fav.

[@PaulTimlett]

Really enjoyed the before and after reviews. More of that please. And that final shot - outstanding 👏

[@dgavi3688]

Enjoyed seeing your process, would love to see more of that. Thanks!

[@1WillyK]

I do like the raw versus processed comparison. It's one of the biggest reasons I like Uncle Grumpy's videos.

[@billwinward9324]

Another cracking video and I did enjoy the before and after segment

[@johannaknowles8569]

Yep that was a winner! Loved hearing your reasoning and what you did to the raw file 👍🏻

[@alanheeley7096]

The way to go Gavin with the before and after shot's........Brilliant video once again and a few decent shots😉

[@benruset]

All of the shots are incredible but I especially liked the one starting at 3:56. The blues and purples on the horizon contrasted really nicely with the green of the tree.

[@RHA-Photography]

The last part of the video was nice to see the difference in shot out of camera and then the editted versions, i liked it

[@johndoe-nh9sh]

That last shot for me, love the depth to it with the background highlights, muy bien Gavin.

[@terrylstarks]

Love the post education!!!! Also like the vertical best. Thanks Gavin!!!

[@deborahhammond8576]

The last image is my favourite, mainly because of the addition of the little background, and it’s a yes for this info on processing style

[@cynthiahughes271]

Mine, too. I love the colors and textures in the background.

[@MatrixReferee]

Like the File Comparisons al lot! 👍Almost as much as your out-and-about filming & hilaroius story telling (which makes your channel so unique)😍

[@scottmuir5757]

photo number 3 would be the 1 i choose, portrait orientation really works well for the scene. enjoyed seeing the raw then the finished edit, gives us hobbyists a glimmer of light with our images lol.

[@shannonsnow8298]

Definitely the last one- simply beautiful!

[@larryrudnick1519]

Thanks Gavin. Showing and describing the different stages of the images was very helpful. BTW, the last was my fav...

[@stephenhowe316]

The 4th image was my favourite. I like the 16 x 9 space, the uniqueness of the tree on the left counter-posed by the subtle changes in fog over the water and ethereal background.

[@ronbailey8504]

I purchased your 'Photoshop for Morons', but still enjoy seeing/hearing your post processing. Thumbs up to keep it in, time permitting. Always enjoy your work and the effort put forth.

[@juststv]

Thumbs up to your walk through of the images from RAW to finals. I enjoyed your commentary on the process.

[@ProfMary]

All good images of 'the tree', Gavin! It is hard to pick a favorite. The fog really adds a great mood to all your photos. I do like your post processing. I vote for you to do more.

[@reddogtwelve]

Another great vid Gavin-thank you!! I like the last pic the best, but all of them are great. The highlights in the background on the last one give it a different sort of pop that I like. Also really enjoy the before/after….would like to see more of that.

[@pmc7105]

Yes, seeing the original RAWs is great; always liked that Adam does that.

[@eightdragonkings]

Damn! You've gotten some great shots these past few months Gavin! The last two fairy tree compositions were fantastic! Congrats. Glad to see the hard work and research paying off! I liked the editing conversation at the end.

[@pamelaproffitt8484]

The last one is my favorite. I love the moodiness of the background and the tree stands alone.

[@porterrasi]

I like seeing the before and after editing process. Thanks for sharing.

[@darrenleigh201]

Really liked the before & after shots with walk through. Great stuff!

[@alnwick00]

I like the final image best for the off center main subject and the secondary subject and the reflections in the water of both. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertbaher3454]

I really enjoyed the RAW to finished image comparisons. Thanks for sharing.

[@mds1254]

Loved the before after segment at the end🤓👍 more please!

[@timnightingale4325]

Third is good; fourth is even better, just like the background - really ethereal. Top job.

[@briannicholson2971]

All very good images but number 4 is spectacular, the subtle tones have a beautiful softness and the glimmers of light in the trees in the background bring a beautiful light to enhace the image 👍📸😊

[@alistairnicholson2046]

The thing I took away from this is the importance of letting conditions develop. Good to see the fog roll back in and just loved the light emerging.

[@AndreaLivieriPhoto]

Wonderful shots, Gavin! I very much enjoyed the last one, the horizontal 16:9 framing. The light is gorgeous and the composition is really spot on. If you plan to visit the Dolomites in the future, I know some great places where you can taste good vino! :) Ciao

[@torstenwennberg4845]

I love the post-processing bit at the end! There are much appreciated gold nuggets there as that part of photography is very important these days as well. Also helps to round out your thought process. Ah...the mind of Gavin, always an adventure! Thanks.

[@klingtrav]

That last pic Gavin is muy, muy... definitely my favorite and I'll tell you why. If the tree is overshot that bit of light on that background makes it unique. I haven't seen that angle too often but definitely that light makes the shot. It is ethereal, soft and delicate and gives the photo a mood that is peaceful and sublime. I can't stop looking at it!! Thank you BTW, for your photo book and a few of your pics I received for Christmas (a gift from my wife). I always love your work and it's nice to have it to peruse and view on my wall.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Travis :)

[@itravelers]

Definitely a thumbs up for your commentary about post production. Always entertaining and educational. Cheers!

[@JohnDoe-ws5iv]

Another fantastic video! The information at the end is awesome! Keep it up!!

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

Just heard on Adam's vlog about your new life out east!! So incredibly excited for you - as a fellow British import I hope it fulfills all your dreams, Gavin!

[@richcower]

Like #3, really like what you did with the background and yes, these raw to final explanations are useful.

[@CS-je5vx]

Yes, I enjoyed seeing the raw file and what you did for the final image.

[@JayGrapherTh]

certainly nice to see the before and after in more detail. feel free to do more if you feel like it :)

[@Stillfilm1]

Loved all the images Gavin. When I read the title of this vid, I thought someone had vandalised the fairy tree. What a relief. I'd love to see more SOC and finished edits.

[@adamoo88]

Hi Gareth:) Another fantastic video and good idea to show the final image as well as the raw image, definitely keep going with this style:)

[@MarionWalsh]

Enjoyed the before and after! More please! The last image in the set was my fav. The light and fog are magical!

[@0123nikon]

HI Gaven love your vidéo and love the before and after ,keep up the nice work all my best

[@1WillyK]

I like the top center image best. I like that you can see the angle of the log the fairy tree grows out of. Also, the light shining through the mist on the water and shore in the background gives it a very mystical look. The Lady of the Lake could raise her hand out of the water bearing the gleaming sword Excalibur at any time.

[@kellyr2681]

I like the last shot that you showed in editing. It screams whimsy. Very nice indeed.

[@dalepowell5368]

My favourite conditions, fog, reflections and having the place all to yourself, mornings like this are rare. Some of your best ever here Gavin, that 3rd one is a stunner. Dreamland.

[@chriswyatt5303]

Keep showing the raw to finished photos. Glad to see the tree once again.

[@bmichaud1000]

Hey Gavin. Definitely, the last image was my favorite of the four. And yes, keep up the post processing bits. As much as the composition dialogue is invaluable, it's really only half the story. The discussion around post processing is the other critical piece to understanding how you got the image. Some may find it boring, but for someone who wants to learn as much as possible about photography, this piece is critical. Thanks for all you do!

[@kathrinelyons3128]

Loved the last image. Really enjoyed from beginning to final product.

[@srameypr]

The title tricked me. I thought the tree had been vandalized. I liked the last two shots.

[@SteveShueyPhotography]

Fabulous photos. Top center is my favorite. The color tone and hint of fog on the right make it work very well. Great video.

[@mikemoise8146]

It's super useful/helpful to see the before and after shots. glad you're starting to do that and hope to see more! Cheers Gavin

[@lindakarlin2980]

Great video. Loved the format. Keep them coming.

[@andy_an_outdoors_guy]

I did enjoy you walking through your raw processing. I use darktable & gimp here - so I also appreciated that you were talking about what you were doing vs clicking around in software. cheers.

[@GreedyMcboob]

Love the format of a quick editing finish!

[@darrenmilo9565]

I started watching you for photo tips, I stayed for the entertainment but these shots were jaw dropping. “Face like a battered haddock” has gone in my book of Yorkshire sayings along with “meat cove”. top stuff youth.

[@slosmoke1]

Far right. Love the comp and the soft colors Thanks for the processing tutorial!

[@vantagepointphotography]

The before and after image retouching at the end of the video is a nice add. My favorite images is probably the last one. That background popping through the fog with the highlights on the foliage sets the mood for a fantastic shoot. Brilliant work.

[@lisamarie7527]

Definitely LOVE the image with the Bufflehead female!! Absolutely beautifully captured. I’m a duck lover and photographer. However, all your images are trespendous! Cheers

[@lisha1535]

Beautiful work and the before and after is great.

[@roscot40]

Number four was my favourite. It had a more epic feel to it and was on KZbin, painterly in the extreme. I remember Gavin previously talking about the rarity of perfect shots, but he gets pretty close every week. As always, great channel with exceptional content.

[@rsteyaert]

Great vlog and great subject. I liked the last image the best with the great profile of the rock and tree and the softness of the foggy/misty background. Keep up the editing portion and maybe expand a bit as to what you did.

[@purewolfking4146]

Nice video, good luck with the move, looking forward to the new landscape. It is lovely to see Amanda in the videos, lovely lady. Keep up the great work.

[@Dolphincolors]

I love how it creates a heart with the reflection 💚

[@dpulte]

fav shot is landscape orientation, tree in lower left simply because that composition works the best IMHO. thumbs up on adding the editing. top shelf.

[@alexgimagery]

Beautiful and iconic. But the one at 20:00 takes the prize for me, as I love the glistening highlights of the plants on the far shore.

[@denisroy81]

Loved the 2nd last image. Showing the editing was great. More please!!

[@Kayahdog]

Very much enjoyed the image processing explanation at the end...btw, this might have been the first video with Uncle Grumpy where he never held a camera in his hand.

[@3082frank]

The final image is def the best. Enjoyed the comparison part at the end. Very educational. Thank you.

[@TerraPosse]

The last one was my favourite but frankly all of them were just magnifique. Liked the post-session at the end. More please.

[@outchasinglight9424]

I’m astonished that Gavin didn’t seize the opportunity to say…; “so Leica and subscribe…”! 😂

[@RCWolfFPV]

thanks for the detailed commentary at the end! please do continue doing these!

[@beatfarmerfan]

It’s 1:30 am here in the U.P. of Michigan, and I have a head like a Happy Hour beer..😆 I think you should keep doing the editing explanations, they’re interesting. I like the last shot the best, great work!👍

[@janwilson9485]

Liked the before, after and end product addition. Loved the images and the usual grumpy but nice humour! Great to see everyone together enjoying the fog. Thanks
