[@H2o3G2a]

Hi, big fan from Bahrain, can you please stop fighting it and get a 6x7 film camera. I'll buy all your books

[@ChrisDeltaEchoKilo]

Every time, Gavin tops all his previous videos. More entertaining than anything on Netflix and better for your mental health too.

[@matejbednarik8736]

Big truth :D 👍

[@peterfritzphoto]

I agree 100%!

[@Revup1]

Fujifilm, let Gavin keep the camera. His happiness oozing from every video not only promotes your cameras but significantly uplifts the mental health of all who watch in these difficult times....you would literally be saving the world. Oh, and while your at it send me a GFX100 too.....and a few lenses.

[@dimitarzlatanov1749]

That kid at the end... might actually become a movie star one day. Superb performance. 😅😂

[@peterfritzphoto]

Gavin - you make me smile every single time. Yours is far and away my favourite channel on KZbin, and Amanda is just so damn adorable. And the thing that makes your videos such a compelling watch is you're actually an incredible photographer. My three prints just arrived on Friday, and I feel so privileged to have them. They're getting framed on going on the wall. As for the GFX, Fulifilm would be mad not to let you keep the bloody camera. They'll never find a better, more engaging ambassador for their products than you. How the hell can they lose? Love your work.

[@fototripper]

Thanks for the support Peter. Glad you're happy with those prints and yeah, she's my precious girl.

[@peterfritzphoto]

@@fototripper Good for you, mate. I'm genuinely happy for the both of you. :-)

[@mortenthorpe]

@@fototripper ohh, so your fuji is feminine now :) “your precious” :p

[@juanitakelly3082]

One of your smoothest and best productions with added value that you inspire folks to leave great comments that are entertaining as well. KZbin needs to add time to your viewing numbers for people like me who put it on pause at the end to read all the comments!

[@delhiggins1234]

My favorite part of this episode was the last 10 seconds….. LOL

[@tonyjohnson3752]

the ending is worth more than all the minutes in all other fototripper videos combined.

[@sergio.lameiras]

I feel so sorry for the people that don´t stick around for that last skit!!! Hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@mlevesque33]

That was hilarious. I can't believe he asked a random kid to be part of it.

[@JayGrapherBKK]

would have honestly thought it was real not going to lie until the end.

[@derdiegus]

Best end of your videos EVER!! Laughed for minutes with it! This is just a pure happiness therapy! Thanks for sharing all your trips with us!

[@kevinmorphet8083]

You are, indeed, a funny man. Your number one fan did a great job! Best of the holidays to you both and a quick run to 1000000 subscribers in the new year. Thanks for all the entertainment.

[@stephenhowe316]

If I were Fuji, I would be sponsoring the whole group of Fine Landscape Photographers in Canada, including Gavin, Brent, Adam and Brian. Each of them has made their Art entertaining and sublime viewing.

[@Ktizo_Images]

You're not a bad photographer. And you take me to some of the greatest places to shoot. Oh, I forgot, thanks Brent. Seriously, sometimes some of us may forget just how good a photographer you are and that's a shame. Thanks!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Damn this was epic Gavin!

[@fototripper]

Cheers mate ;)

[@robertwhitemoto]

Gavin that bluejay photo was fantastic: Mads - Gavin it was EPIC: Tom - Gavin It was Absolutely Stunning: Nigel - It simply doesn't get any better than that Gavin: Adam - Meh: Robert - and @12:55 just WOW !!!

[@terrydekker3233]

Thank you for the stunning images and for taking me somewhere I would never have been able to see.

[@robgustin1487]

OUTSTANDING!! I'm sat here in the states, Michigan. We have 4 Great Lakes, miles of coastline, waterfalls, mountains, fall color and snow. I still get giddy seeing those Canadian Rocky vistas. Wonderful work Gavin! Gives all us tubby, old guys a feeling we could still get up there with you. Thank you.

[@markperez2721]

Beautiful image with the Blue Jay! You left though the reflections of the 3 persons on the left corner of the image.

[@ian-robinson]

I’ve spoken to Fuji and they said you can keep the camera and lenses. They also said to just ignore any emails that their staff may send asking for it to be returned.

[@victor-ferreira]

Gavin to the Grammy Awards!!!!! The best worlds, photography plus hilarity humor scenes!!! And Fujifilm please give the GFX to Gavin please, he deserves and he is ( he will be) an excellent Fujifilm ambassador!!! 👌

[@trevorpayne2749]

Reckon you've earned that camera lugging it all the way up there! Love your images and Brent's is amazing as well. Thanks for another great video.

[@veronica0406]

Awesome video. You’re number one fan is adorable.

[@crazygooseventures]

Hi Gavin it’s Jaylin (using my dad’s account) and thank you for the wonderful book (your number one fan)! PS: your book is not a POS. ;)

[@fototripper]

Hiya Jaylin. Glad you liked the book and I reckon you aced your first acting debut :)

[@JoeMustang99]

Jaylin--great job you did on your part of Gavin's video. Maybe you can give Gavin some acting lessons?

[@sierragold]

The ending with that little girl... was gold! LOLOLOL

[@snymat_68]

That ending caused me to choke on the pizza I was stuffing in my face... which in turn caused a coughing fit, all the while crying with laughter. 😐😐😐

[@AcuraTechMan]

Beautiful and masterful as always Gavin.

[@iKeto_gal]

Gavin, that Fuji camera is made for you!! The color science of Fuji + your photographic eyes = Awesome Photographs. I will keep my fingers crossed that you one day own that magnificent camera. 😊

[@pattymattes7124]

Awesome shots by you and Brent (Fabian, lol). That bird stealing your sandwich was incredible. I laughed so hard. That is a brave bird and he's forever immortalized in this video, lol. I have to say that ending was a bit of a shocker. Thanks for the review of the Fuji camera. I'm looking forward to the next video.

[@dwhannon.photoghannon184]

Thank you for your review of the GFX100s. The Q is absurd as Ansel Adams used large format cameras. Keep up your good work. Much success to you.

[@SuelenTiekoPhotos]

Omg Gavin! That shot with the bird in there is just perfect!

[@honorab6220]

Nice images but my favorite part of the video was your #1 fan Jaylin.

[@StephenBridgett]

Beautiful photos Gavin, love the humour. You and Amanda are looking good together.

[@dianevose9655]

Hahaha the young lady at the end was hilarious! Brilliant vlog as always 😃👍🏻

[@rongallacher8216]

Fujifilm please give Gavin this camera and lens. He did a FANTASTIC JOB PROMOTING YOUR CAMERA. I’m thinking of buying one 👌👌👌👌

[@fototripper]

They didn't.

[@thompsy2k6]

Fujifilm could not have a better photographer to showcase this camera. They should reach out and get in touch. And babybel of course.... This channel cheers me up. Thank you so much

[@brianmckeever5280]

I don't know Gavin, attitude from ground hogs, food theft from birds, and now dissed by your "#1 fan! I thought Canadian's were courteous! Very fun! Love these longer videos. The Big BeeHive square shot is amazing. Good work.

[@samvelsargsyan77]

Thank you for share with us this fantastic day with brilliant shoots! FujiFilm give him this magnificent camera!

[@srameypr]

WOW, that square image was wonderful! Cute kid - she played along so well! Oh, and hey, Fuji, let Gavin keep the camera!

[@travissaunders4686]

Who is the instant star that stole the show at the end. She is fantastic!

[@shagmesilly78]

Stumbled upon this channel yesterday! Really liking it. I've always enjoyed British humour. Another sub for you. Nearly at the million mark ;)

[@johnrieger949]

I can’t walk very well now, but your beautiful photos provide views that are soulful. Thank you.

[@grahamecarter]

Cracking video as always stunning images as ever, but how are you going to beat that ending. Tears of joy then hit with tears of laughter. So natural.

[@brianasmith9095]

great memories of my late wife and I when we skied this area. Thanks Gavin and Amada

[@neonjoe84]

hahaha that girl at the end 😂 loved the images from little beehive ( I mean big) 😅

[@valpayne2963]

Ha ha, hilarious ending! Epic images. So much detail and colour. Well done for all the hiking!

[@perambulatingmike]

The light on Mt. Lefroy was stunning....in Brent's shot! Seriously, what a lovely spot and looks like it was well worth the hike...loved the last skit as well...I like this kid! Another great video, Gavin...thanks for taking us along!

[@sz1294]

How much effort and ideas you put in your Videos, it is such a pleasure watching them! And special thanks for your explanation about your ideas about the composition.

[@glyndewis]

Great video and stunning results. Oh and Fuji…you know it makes sense 😉

[@fototripper]

You tells em Glyn!

[@joshuathreadgill4148]

I'm dying at Jaylin at the end🤣. Oh, @Fujifilm, I will be buying a gfx100 strictly because of this video... eventually...when it's on sale.

[@andrewwilson9271]

There's only one word for this weeks vlog - "Magnifiqwue" - well done mate, Stunning :)

[@aramarsh]

wahahaha, that ending... Fuji, Gavin owns that camera now.

[@johngrahamcurry1641]

Outstanding light, outstanding photographs! I wish you every success in getting Fuji Film to donate the gear to you!

[@jonnybondphoto]

Dear Fuji, while Gavin only has 68k subscribers, most of us live on his every word. As an example, 19K of us got engaged right after his engagement video aired. I have noticed about 22k Sony A7M4s recently hit eBay for sale, no doubt on the assumption Gavin is keeping the Fuji camera and we all will soon be joining him with a Fuji purchase once our gear is successfully sold. If you are not persuaded by pure economics, consider the heavier camera he will be schlepping will help him get into better shape. You may actually be helping save a life. You cannot put a price or profit analysis on that. #savehardcastleslife #smallbutmightyfollowers #iwant1too

[@fototripper]

I fact checked this and it's all 100% legit

[@peterfritzphoto]

What a pisser! I agree, Jonathan!!

[@joshheldsinger4775]

Fujifilm, get in touch and just give Gavin the camera so that he can make a new book, called: 'CHASING AWE WITH GAVIN HARDCASTLE...and fujifilm. Theres a link, in the description...

[@infrequentgamer_greg]

Gavin, definitely one of your better videos of the past few months. Drop dead gorgeous Canadian scenery, mixed in with a little comedy, and even a mini review of the Fuji camera (c'mon Fuji at least give Gavin an extended loan of the gear...do you see the images he's making with your gear...what a spokesman for Fuji)! When you were pointing out the view from Brent's higher shooting location, am I correct...is there a viewing platform up there on the top of the Beehive as I saw a roofed structure of some sort? With all these beautiful locations Mr. Brent Henderson finds, I think he needs to stop being a personal trainer and do photo trip leading (of course with you, Gavin, leading the group).😉 Wonderful images Gavin of Lake Agnes! ♥

[@fototripper]

Looks like it, I never made it up there.

[@MarktrustingJesus]

absolutely gorgeous views and shots. I wish I was there, but thanks for taking us there. I enjoy the adventures so much and the humor.

[@ewphotography.]

OMG I can not believe I was just too lazy to hike to Lake Agnes. Three times I´ve been fortunate to visit Lake Louise. Can´t get any better than a Fuji camera I have the Xt2. Great images.

[@KaranSingh-mi2ww]

Your narration during the video is nice , colour grading is much better than TH and photographs taken are almost equivalent to TH. In short "your channel deserves a lot more subscribers". Keep up the good work.

[@michaelbottari6398]

In your ownm words. This images are brilliant, Gavin. Every foodstepp up ro this mountain were worth it. Really great work.

[@Epicfail911]

Absolutely loved the video Gavin. Comedy, story and stunning shots. Brilliant mate.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

As an old guy there isn't much that impresses me, but thanks for taking us to a place that I think is the most amazing thing I've seen. I actually shouted. I came across some of those ripples in a piece of rock in AZ and I suspected it had to do with a sand beach. Now it's comfirmed. Lichen subscribe.

[@williamturner1441]

Thank you for freezing, sweating and then freezing so I can sit here in total comfort enjoying another wonderful video. Absolutely stunning scenery and your photos are nice also.....LOL

[@davidakoubian3025]

Great video Gavin. Seeing the trails brought back lots of memories! We loved hiking to Lake Agnes, Big Beehive and the Plain of Six Glaciers. The Teahouse actually had some decent scones. Lartch trees make it even better.

[@vincentspratling365]

Fantastic shots and video. Nearly fell me chair with laughter at end lol

[@annieturner3335]

Okay, maybe THIS episode is my favorite ;) Great content and amazing images! Fujifilm should always keep current loaners in those talented hands of yours!

[@johndownes319]

Definitely the Best entertaining Photographer on KZbin. Love your content. Can not wait till the next one. Great photographer as well.

[@TheAndyMaan]

Loved this one Gavin, not only because of the entertainment as always and beautiful photos but also I had the privilege to visit Banff national park a couple of years ago before all this shitstorm broke out and did the hike upto Big Beehive past Lake Agnes so its bringing back some amazing memories or our time there. Hopefully I can visit Canada again one day as it's so beautiful and theres so much I'd like to see over there. All the best

[@libork4000]

Awesome views .... Just keep the camera ... & lenses too ...

[@annetivendale8616]

Beyond stunning photographs Gavin.Can’t wait to get back to the Rockies! Fujifilm - JUST GIVE THE MAN THAT CAMERA!!

[@robcoventry574]

Enjoyed this video. To answer your question, I am sure Fuji would back up the money truck if you got 250,000 subscribers. But what you convinced me is that my full frame is all I need. Too much extra work to stack-merge the extra shots.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

What would less sense is for Fugi to take it back !! It’s not a matter of letting you have it anymore !! Stunning location and shots Mate !! Fair play on the hikes

[@docfluty]

the ending was awesome!

[@astralbody]

Another smashing video! You now even employ birds to take your food! I love those Jays! I was at an alpine lake in Washington and had a bunch of Gray Jay buddies eating lunch with me! Nice... Lake Louise is crazy! Let's see, where is my photo site list...scratch off Lake Louise area...oof! I use photography to get away from people... ;) Beautiful area! Gavin, psst..there are reflections of the people in the water where you removed them. Awesome shots! Fujifilm GFX system is great, agree with your assessment. Fujifilm, give em the camera! ;) the ending is the total best! LOLOLOL hugs and love! Cheers!

[@oliverdecker1930]

Another brilliant video. And oh my God, that hilarious ending. The No. 1 fan girl was fantastic!

[@KuriK_photography]

Jaylin skit at the end really capped that one off! She was hilarious. Well done with that and the shots of Lake Agnes and Beehive too!

[@Chris-bx6ur]

amazing shots and locations. Entertainment and some. Really enjoyed Brent's shot as well.

[@2DogAle]

So many things to comment on here this time Gavin... first, stunning location this time. The traffic jam and unbelievable amount of people there was both wonderful and awful at the same time. So many places in our area have been trampled and to me, ruined by so many people going into the outdoors. It appears, the that commercialism has driven some of this. There are no good answer when it comes to how to manage it all unfortunately but it's still heart breaking to see what damage people an do to our wild areas. The video, as always was perfect combo of humor, discussions of your approach to shooting the and technical challenges of taking images from that day. The ending was absolutely hilarious, that little girl deserves an Oscar. Brent is a great addition to your vlogs with his dead pan looks at you some times and the skits he's been in with you as well. Last but not least, that Fuji GFS100s is a stunning piece of technology and produces wonderful images. It's one of those cameras, just by using it, seems to give photographers super powers when creating image. At approximately $15,000US to get a decent set up though, puts it out of most non professional, and some pros too, price ranges for that equipment. How would most people justify that cost is beyond me. I do hope that Fuji can put that camera and lenses you have used on permanent loan to you so you can keep using it and not have to fork out all that dough. See you again real soon... Cheers, Rob

[@sebastianberes]

Breathtaking location and stunning photos, thank you for the episode!

[@Martin-nu6ym]

Like how the Stellar's jay stayed in the shot for you. Beautiful shots.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Wow, those pictures look amazing. I've got to go there now.

[@PhotoTrekr]

Ah, the Canadian Rockies. Spectacular. Planning a trip there for next year. The little girl is hilarious. She gave the book a good toss too.

[@paulmiller7671]

I don't have enough superlatives in my vocabulary; stunning, amazing and hilarious and quite brilliant. Whenever I see your images of places I went to on my one and only visit to Canada I can only rue my bad luck with the weather. At the end of September at Lake Agnes, it was snowy, grey and the clouds were obscuring the peaks. Your images portray the true beauty of the location. If only.....

[@stephengatley8144]

You deserve a million+ subscribers i don't shoot landscape but you are too funny to miss!...

[@olo101olo]

Second book confirmed: Chasing Brent by Gavin Hardcastle

[@FabiusMaximus1000]

I liked the second shot. It would be nice to see a recap of the photos at the end.

[@NandishA]

Great pics Gavin. You are turning out to be the best landscape KZbinr . I wish you gain more subscribers that you truly deserve .Hey Sony, please make a Medium format camera and give it to Gavin 😀

[@JonathanRobinson11]

Finally, a professional photographer with a sense of humour…

[@BryceJ82]

Thought you might like to know, the bird in your picture is a stellar’s jay. Thanks for another great video!

[@markjagger7139]

Fujifilm give us all a camera ( tight sods) great vlog Gavin stunning shots and funny as ending 😂😂😂😂

[@mauricio.montoya]

I really enjoyed this video Gavin, you’re an awesome guy to hangout. Keep it up buddy!!

[@stevearita3267]

All of the shots were simply gorgeous! Thanks for making these videos, I always look forward to watching them. Great how you included the little girl in the end...just too funny!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

What a great camera, I'll have to see if Fuji will give me one, oh wait they already did 😁😆

[@fototripper]

but can you keep it?

[@ATiborA]

Most underrated channel EVER!

[@trevorsneath4665]

Totally unexpected ending, totally cracked me up! Give him the camera Fujifilm. Just do it!

[@hinajo]

Gavin - I enjoy all your videos and always look for your lates to come out, you and Amanda always put a smile and laughter on me always - keep them coming!

[@grgdavis2]

Bravo Gavin! Premium content!! Incredibly beautiful images/scenery mixed with a genuine belly laugh at the end! Fuji please gift/sponsor Gavin the kit you provided!

[@gwelland]

Wow, the girl at the end of the video is definitely a future acting star!!

[@jimwlouavl]

Gorgeous light up there. Your videos are always fun to watch.

[@furmstons]

Stunning images and FujiFilm should make you an ambassador for their cameras and lenses.

[@andrewnoden9117]

Hi Gavin, another great video and photos. Fujiffilm truly could not ask for better promotion of the GFX camera system Cheers from Andrew in Ottawa
