Every Landscape Photographer's Worst Nightmare...

[@Yunners]

I missed most of this video. I was too busy reading Chasing Awe With Gavin Hardcastle.

[@billybedlam5462]

Thought it was called Quiet Light? 🤔

[@danielschmaderer]

@@billybedlam5462 nope. It’s called Landscape Lifestyle

[@kudobass9090]

The big build up to an epic shot. The final click of the shutter. Gavin, in his best passionate whisper voice - “Ooooh yeees… That’s extremely average.” (Amanda laughs. Gavin joins in.) ••• Perfect moment 🤣

[@denisesavage2382]

It’s really the humour we watch this for! The photography is the bonus . . . . Even the average ones. Helps us average photogs feel normal.

[@cathymildenberger4877]

The thermacell is really supposed to be used when you are standing still - like at camp or at a tripod. It creates a 10ft bubble cloud around the area after about 15 minutes. ☁

[@DavidSwarthout]

I wouldn't sit the woods looking for birds here in Alaska without my Thermacell. The thing is truly amazing.

[@nickellion3657]

had to keep jumping back as I was too busy listening to the audio book of 'Awww Gavin!' by Chasing Hardcastle

[@fototripper]

On it's way...

[@lindabrown1362]

God, I laugh so hard at these vids..Thanks Gavin and Amanda for brightening the day for us..

[@hammerli2011]

congratulations Amanda, great ring. Gavin, it's about time. congratulations to both of you.

[@jonc3118]

Sometimes when I'm out setting up for a composition I start cracking up laughing thinking about these videos.

[@fototripper]

me too :)

[@aj131970]

Nice vlog and cheers for putting it out there for us mere mortals / photography dinlows. You’re making my compulsory Canadian isolation slightly more enjoyable than a school detention and missing crackerjack.

[@kbauthenticimages3766]

Great video Gavin as always love the hints on the new book ha ha ha ha.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Great to see those Jedi sales tricks are still on point ! Just like the edge of the book settings adjustments :-) looks like a great spot with some atmosphere!! Enjoyed this one and good to see ya back in the saddle Pal

[@VlogPhotography]

That's a great location. Plenty of rolling hills but I do agree that harsh boring light can be a pain in the backside when it chooses to be. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@gAIno-music]

Sweet mother of goodness that was a hearty laugh. Not all images can be prize winners, but the video was! Thanks for the good times.

[@ChrisDarnell]

Adjusting the camera controls was hysterical, haha. I preordered the book on launch day and it’s a beautiful body of work; you have every reason to plug it in every video.. but you already know that. I admire your obstinance in the face of criticism, it’s inspiring and entertaining all at the same time

[@robertforehand]

Thanks for this video, Gavin.. Showing this to my wife should make her feel better about paying more to have the book shipped to than its actual cost knowing that she can use it as a charcuterie board as well. Cheers!

[@fototripper]

I do love a good charcuterie.

[@TrashTheLens]

So, have you finally decided to sell the kidney to pay for the shipping? I'm still on the fence here...

[@kellifoulstone5629]

"And it was at this point..." boom ad break. Impeccable timing young man. And good on your for your hommus-ing ways haha

[@garyheaton3302]

I never realized the many ways a book like Chasing Awe by Gavin Hardcastle can be used until this video. It’s a serving utensil, portable table, camera adjustment tool, and even something to read.

[@DarylHunt]

The product placement is masterful 😀

[@vladodamjanovski]

Love your original style Gav, keep up the good work.

[@dinsdalephotography]

Always a great time hanging out with the two of you, even when you're failing at photography. Cheers from smoky Manitoba.

[@rolandrick]

Ahhhhh, finally a fototripper video again. I love you guys.

[@gotahave]

I have not seen videos from you guys in months and I miss them. Glad I found this one at least. Your the best info photographer. Yes, I do subscribe but again never get any hints to see your videos. TFS.

[@kennygo8300]

Yeah, I like watching your photo trips. The best part of life is the journey. How you get to the setup (your method) is what interests me. Your comedy is very nice, too!

[@imagestudio56]

I thought I was keeping up with your videos but is that a ring I see on Amanda's finger? I love her personality and you two make a great couple.

[@thomasherbst6773]

Great skit-vertising mate! Keep it up!

[@callumjohnson9433]

Iove these pair, Love the way you get back at the haters. your character your humour and creativity is brilliant and very enjoyable to the watchers.

[@gregoneil3523]

Best non advertising video ever, laughed and laughed. Loved the blue hour shot, awesome. Reminds me of a book I've heard of. Mines still sailing the 7 seas.

[@mkerswill9424]

should be on tv, brilliant humour, so much fun to watch. 🤪

[@sierrasurvivaladventures]

Finally A YORKSHIREMAN, someone I can understand. I am already a fan of Thomas Heaton but your channel is another level. although not sure about your camper van. lol. I am in the Czech Republic and trying hard to learn Photography, which is why I have just binge-watched most of your videos and SUBSCRIBED. Superb. I look forward to seeing more.

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

As a photographer too, I feel your pain on the lighting issue. Tried to capture a waterfall today but the light was super harsh. Thankfully though after being distracted by a frog (I shoot wildlife too) a nice cloud passed over and I think I got the shot. Your tactic to wait until blue hour and capture the golden light of town worked brilliantly! I would never have thought of that. Oh and nice eating utensil, lol!

[@orion2250]

You guys are the BEST!

[@christinaphillips1072]

Welcome back! No picture of yours is ever just average, I thought it was pretty great! Evertime I see Amanda sitting on a cliff I cringe, she's a brave one 😁

[@peterfritzphoto]

Sooo good to have you back! You two are the highlight of my week - and it's only Monday. I sense a viewer competition coming up - Most Unique Uses for 'Chasing Awe'. I'm going to try it out as a porta-potti on my next camping trip. 🇦🇺👍😀

[@fototripper]

Not a bad idea Peter.

[@susannesteinhoff2316]

Absolutely loooooooove your book! And Thanks for the laugh, you and Amanda always make my day brighter.

[@redsquirrel1917]

What's on top of Gavin's primary camera at 8:47? I ask years after this was posted! Still catching up with the back catalog.

[@SirTomster1]

Went up to the mountains last weekend to do some shooting and feel I did not have the best shots. But at least I can say that I had clouds, and no books were abused in my photography.

[@darrenleigh201]

Love it! Always good to start my week with a little Gavin. And Amanda!

[@CourtneyVictoria]

The hummus, pea and the book cracked me up!! Nice images though. Unfortunately we don't get the ideal conditions every time and have to make do with what we've got!

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Baby Bells are the best, unlike that light. I got the white cheddar ones just to see if I was missing something, but the original red wax one's you have here are better.

[@philr1191]

Great video, have you ever thought about maybe publishing a book to go with it?

[@stefanhodes9209]

We’ve missed you both, great video! I was waiting for the bats to carry your book off into the Smokey sunset.

[@glyndewis]

Can't-Stop-Watching!!! :)

[@GodIsReal]

This is the most effective commercial and most enjoyable one ever. 😃😃😃

[@roberthennessey5702]

Always showing us what we can run into it’s not always great….but you make the best of it as you did…. You both crack me up..Amanda..is awesome and puts up with your shenanigans ..your a lucky guy Gavin🤣🤣😂

[@dentonator96]

Blue hour was the best. Always enjoy the videos. Thanks!

[@glttheriault]

Hilarious with the creativity of your book plug!! The voice change because of the bug repellant was a great touch! "Oh yeah, that is extremely average" LOL Good one!

[@andrewbaxter9395]

Inspiration for my food photography book; Chasing Slaw.

[@shaundenholm8433]

Whoa, you have your own book? How have I not heard of this. You need to plug it more.... the book that is.

[@tonymurphy9112]

Nice to see you back and so glad you didn't plug your book......

[@HanhNguyen-mh4jm]

Always enjoy watching you guys

[@potatosalad1991]

I swear after that long exposure shot when you checked the image I so expected Chasing Awe 😁

[@jeffreymonk9987]

Great Chemistry between you too! Love the videos as well as the shots Sir....

[@GeorgeLoch]

Amanda is such a great sport.

[@louisburley1597]

I like the book plugs. They’re usually funny and it does make me want to buy it xD

[@PeterGallagher1]

Thanks for another fun photo adventure. I hope Amanda isn't too upset with your bear and cougar sightings.

[@rfeewjlj]

So much to laugh at. But the wide brimmed hat?! Genius!!! 😂😂😂

[@andrewlloyd-seetim1271]

The multi use product placement is outstanding. Crop mask, remote camera control, picnic table, backpack shape saver. Where can I get one. Oh wait, I have been reading a copy on my coffee table. It’s also full of amazing photographs, accompanied by humorous and informative narrative. Cheers Gavin

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

I love the blue hour shot with the light trails. The rest of the video had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Gavin, thank you for making me laugh. It really was a spot of joy at the end of really crappy day.

[@PhotoTrekr]

You have a book? Hadn't noticed it. Glad you mentioned it otherwise we wouldn't have known about it. :)

[@canuckdon]

Chasing Hardcaslte with Awesome Amanda

[@TrashTheLens]

07:28 You haven't used it as a chopping board!? I'm disappointed.

[@mindhorn2342]

After watching this a few times, just to be sure. There seems to be some some sort of hidden subliminal messaging hidden in this video. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but for some reason I'm feeling quite compelled to immediately go online and purchase Gavin's book.

[@fototripper]

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me...

[@gausselim1474]

I've been waiting on a vid for this subject matter exactly...clear whiteish-blue;... what I would consider blown out skies and what to do about it. I swear I traveled for 3 months and never saw a cloud recently where the skies were just like this. I was thinking I need to work on understanding white balance settings on my camera better, not sure. Thanks for the tips though. Love those little baby bells too btw!!!

[@chrisburnard5157]

Thank you Gavin. Love the content.

[@tbg3111]

Love the book title, my wife writes a travel blog, Chasing Dirt. Have to show her this.

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

Where can I find her blog?

[@georgeaustin3138]

Don't know of it was the chardonnay I was drinking but I sure had a hard laugh at the picnic part of video. Thanks for the laughs.

[@crrc250]

Yes a thermacell will make you a lil nauseous if you stay too close to it for too long, instructions say ' not for enclosed areas, sooooo. It can be looped they a belt. Amanda probably benefited more than you while walking though , lol! The Belt of Venus, Earth's Shadow. Twilight. Sky blue pink. So the shot may not have been so entertaining but you two certainly are :)

[@TheMpsmith]

Bats, hummus and chasing awe. A romantic recipe.

[@foto4u861]

Hahaaaa that sound on 2:32 "what does it taste like" great!!

[@markjagger7139]

The colour on the horizon at sunset and sunrise is known as The Belt of Venus and as you say can be spectacular. I didn’t know you had a book out, wow where have I been living 😂😂

[@emmarita487]

My God, not only is the sky boring and blue, but it's hazy as well. I would go right back down the mountain.

[@pattymattes7124]

Well, I don't think your shots are average. I think they are great. So, the conditions weren't what you hoped for but at least you got out and that's a good thing. Thanks for taking us along! By the way, I think I will stick with Deet for a while. I tried an electronic thing once and it didn't work.

[@paulkirk5760]

Great video. Got my teracell 18 months ago but have been able to use it. You can get a carry case for it to hang it anywhere on your pack. I’m guessing it is working for you!

[@yoltmb]

Amanda looks so fit and happy

[@tyeeggleston6159]

There is nothing more romantic than an evening on a hill overlooking a lake and feeding your love interest food in a book of .........." Chasing Awe" by Gavin Hardcastle.

[@thelimbix3957]

immediately loved the book placement.

[@miro_scheib]

This was fun🤣and no adds for once XD loved it

[@ToddHiggins]

the master of subtlety!

[@21jlxi]

Came straight from a video about the India/Pakistan border ceremony, now I see the similarities. Keep up the good work!

[@maxencelemoine4190]

Love when you reply to negative comment !!!! I want to write something mean so you can answer back in your next video !!! Thank you for your work

[@clifflean]

Pissed myself laughing, i was in awe of the vid

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Comic Gold 😎 Oh and some half decent photo stuff 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@falithon]

Welcome back Gavin - how'd you cope in the heatdome? Scary stuff.

[@falithon]

@@kineticuncertainty Glad you did! Anything over about 25C and I'm out!

[@rogerking8959]

Fun as always !!

[@chriscflint]

Good on you for an entertaining episode. With respect to your new one on Sony, I have a full frame A850 that absolutely hates cold weather and the pictures go black from the edges. For real cold I would recommend Canon.

[@graemedarling2852]

Didn’t notice any product placement at all 🙄🤣🤔 lol watched to the end some days we all get that no epic light or chasing awe 👍

[@voin3858]

liked straight away.. keep the content coming.

[@victor-ferreira]

Always fantastic vlogs!!! So, so funny the final photo demonstration!!! What's the name of the book that you had in your hands? 🤔😜

[@trevorsneath4665]

That pink and blue opposite the sunrise and set is called: The Belt of Venus. It's very cool and a moonrise in it rocks.

[@simonmaney3438]

And the blue, I believe, is the shadow of the Earth from the low angled sun.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Would have killed for that sky in the 40 odd years I lived in Yorkshire would make a nice change from slate grey nice work team ❤️📷❤️

[@Rocking_J_Studio]

You published a book?

[@vasilyboyechko4688]

Good stuff. But for some strange reason I want to buy a photography book

[@sophietucker1255]

At this point I'm getting rather sick of your book and so I'll go back to reading my copy of "Quiet Light" Amanda remember you don't have to run faster than the bear, you just have to run faster than Gavin

[@richardbflicks]

hahahahahahahahah like a horse in the wind.. :P

[@scooter5193]

You guys are the show. The photography is just a small part 😜 - keep them coming.

[@valpayne2963]

Ha ha! Another hugely entertaining video. Wow, so many dangers, bears, bats, mosqitos...and are you sure the tapping wasn’t Sasquatch? Don’t you miss super safe Blighty sometimes?

[@8lacKhawKtheRIPPER]

Not much of a book person, but I am currently working my way through "Castle Awnings with Chase Hard" and I'm Gavin' a bloody good time with it.

[@fototripper]

Smooth.

[@PaulNewberyPhotography]

The sequel, "tasting cheese with Gavin Hardcastle"?

[@lisabradley9288]

Cracking stuff though you need to have a word with that Thomas Heaton friend of yours! He starting showing us his photography book collection in his new van and Chasing Awe was not in his van! Can you believe that guy you will learn who your friends really are!! 🤣🤣📸

[@fototripper]

Yeah, that's just rude.

[@dragonmediaxl]

Havnt seen the video, but welcome back, oh thats funny, just laughed out loud at the book in the backpack

[@robertnystrom289]

I was in a similar predicament. I was multitasking between the video, Chasing Awe and marveling at my three (3) photos just framed from the UnicornLabs once in a lifetime sale. And just to show how low my taste has gone, I rather liked the blue hour shot! I, too, have a Thermocell that straps to my leg. I was told the idea was to confuse the varmits with CO2 from the burning fuel so they can't find your head as one exhales. My experience to date has been a redirected swarm around my nether regions. Fortunately, in the woods one does not have to be so socially discreet and vigorous nether region scratching is OK. As a back up plan, I'm practicing holding my breath. Anyway, who won, the shot or the mosquitos?
