[@mike-rk6me]

[@okiepita50t-town28]

Just gorgeous.

[@fototripper]

Thanks James

[@Marysiewert]

[@Marysiewert]

I want to paint this!

[@Marysiewert]

would truly make a great puzzle!

[@normantumbado]

I love that shot with the little girl taking a picture with her iPad, it tells a story of How beautiful the whole location. Well done Gavin 👍🏻

[@fototripper]

Thanks Norman.

[@allansisson355]

Gorgeous phots Loaded with Zen Moments, the lady smiling at that comment, then the trash guys. Love all of them but, what got me was the Color Tunnel and you leaving the girl taking a photo, I wasn't expecting that. Then came the video bomber. I loved this whole video.

[@jennifersayers8041]

Omg those colours are awsome it must have been surreal looking at it all. Your videos always make me laugh, great craic lol

[@fototripper]

Thanks Jennifer

[@DannyDD1979]

[@fototripper]

Thanks Bob

[@jasoncoon6488]

I like the 32mm Shot, new to the channel I’m really liking your stuff!

[@fototripper]

Thanks Jason.

[@janetsharp122]

Wider for Me ..love Acers in Autumn ...love your work..x

[@kustrat]

Butchart Gardens is such a wonderful place. I have been there and had trouble shooting anything without people in it. Sooooo many people. I like the wide shot.

[@fototripper]

Yeah, you've just gotta be patient.

[@seoirse68]

Distended Shatners.....love it

[@IanSmithFotografi]

Loving your channel Gavin... great content and patter..

[@fototripper]

Thanks Ian

[@slowlyrusting4044]

Hot dog with knife and fork. That is the tell tale sign of a classy photographer. I need to watch your past vlogs and see if you raise your pinkie finger when you press the shutter. Beautiful images Gavin. Can't decide if I like one image over the other. Both are great to look at, and each gives off its own vibe. Well done.

[@fototripper]

I can't help raising my pinky when drinking coffee

[@slowlyrusting4044]

@@fototripper- I knew it. I know classy when I see it. It's a curse...

[@big_mon1]

Nice video with great content. I actually live in Japan and it's absolutely gorgeous here during autumn.

[@fototripper]

Oh I imagine it's off the charts. Very high on my list Khalif :)

[@big_mon1]

Whenever you decide to make it happen let me know. I'll help you get out and about.

[@adventurewhitasiam]

The way you took the image from the branch look like Bonsaï with the autumn leaves in the background, it's fabulous, I would say majestic

[@donnapezzulli3088]

Love all, the wider one just a little bit more. Reminds me of Asticou Gardens in Northeast Harbor, ME!

[@isabelladavis1363]

Like a dream..I personally love the wide shot...very much to see ...another almost unreal intimate landscape...I could get lost there and never return home...

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Lovely images all, I think 8:10 is one of my favorites, although the garden spider was cool with the leaves in it's web. That chili dog was brutal! The last time I was at those gardens was the early 80's. Cheers.

[@fototripper]

oh it was brutal.

[@Keith19563]

Some quality shots there and some good tips as well, love the music as well.

[@andyrussell7900]

Great video, you make me laugh loads and cheer me up. keep them coming m8.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Andy. More to come ;)

[@rmkunihiro]

Great video, Gavin! Great images, hate the crowds at Butchart Gardens.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Excellent, Gavin! cracking shots you got there, wider shot for me.

[@marijanespeer2096]

Wide shot . I love the dirt path. It's all great

[@neilbest7696]

Been checking out your videos and would have to say, you are much easier to watch than most. The humor makes a big difference, even though this video was one of your more serious ones. Love the fact your mostly a Sony user, which is my favorite. Keep it up, your personality is a winner. Oh I like the tighter scene vs the wider shots.

[@martynjackson1225]

Stunning shots

[@Runitsyourmamarun]

I’ve been on a bit of a bing lately.... watching all your content and I love how this one mixes detail shots with landscape! Fantastic videos deserves more love

[@Philb68888]

Was there in June, fantastic gardens.

[@Luigi13]

32-mm shot of the reflection in the garden is more appealing. It is a very beautiful location indeed.

[@lorrainelietz4384]

I like the zoomed in shot! Thanks for the video!

[@marcusblack2003]

Your wide shots are gorgeous, but for me, the closer more intimate shots are the best. Overall winner? Has to be your vlogging style!

[@aricaiwdjts]

the wider 18mm is sublime

[@simonharding5696]

The closer, tighter composition for me. Lovely shot!! Great video, too.

[@dsevans3767]

Good lord man, your shots are something else!

[@fraierom]

Love your videos mate! Hope you gonna keep on doing this kind of vids ! Big thumbs up !!!

[@fototripper]

Thanks Norbi. Much more to come ;)

[@martinnightingale6033]

The first shot in the Japanese garden with the upward reflected light is an absolute Stunner. Though the others are quite good too 😀. Great work Gavin . Just enjoy watching your Vlogs .

[@robertmyers4390]

Fantastic opening shot mate, well done, thanks, Bob

[@PhotoDude801]

Great vid...as always..like the tighter shot with the 32mm lens...thanks again! Really nice shots!

[@fototripper]

Cheers my dude.

[@Artist1974CH]

Beautiful job!! That place sure is beautiful!

[@Falkenroth1]

I’ve been there. From Arizona and spent my honeymoon in Victoria. Awesome

[@slaindevil]

Going to Butchart Gardens in September. Really looking forward to this visit. Awesome video and person. Thanks!!

[@bekindalwaysx1g]

That golden light on the underside of the righthand side tree, balances the wide image just niiice imv

[@theyetiinoz1478]

The perfect blend of comedy and the techy stuff. Great content Gary! 32mm for me.

[@ThePosiview]

Enjoyed that. Good mixture of levity, narrative and advice. Cheers and WOW the colours are amazing.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Andy.

[@grahamhunneman3503]

Enjoyable viewing Gavin 👍 great work

[@andrewhillier2734]

8.15. My favourite photo of the clip. Really nice!!

[@Marco030]

So good. So beautiful. Sick.

[@garyroach2000]

Great shots in a beautiful setting. I like both, the wide angle and the ultra wide angle.

[@martinnightingale6033]

Love British Columbia . Visited for 5 weeks back in the early 80s . Been feeling the need for a return trip for a while now . Another great video Gavin . I just need to put some of it into practise

[@MsDonnamurray]

Absolutely epic. Just love the Japanese gardens

[@LowLightMike]

I had the same type of too-crowded experience at Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park. ...and I've experienced crowd-craziness at The Butchart Gardens too. I love your work. :) Thanks for sharing it with good humour.

[@noh2489]

I liked the wider shot, I think the amazing colours into the centre are balanced by the greens and darker tones around the outer. Kind of a natures vignetting and drawing you deeper into the middle. Don't get me wrong both are stunning images but for me the wider wants to pull me in. So glad I found your channel, I dusted off my old D80 and have been out to my local waterfall to put some of tips into practice.

[@janh6639]

Bloody awesome and loving the more intimate shots 👏 love the channel and jealous of your location over there

[@matthewhenry6281]

I was in Victoria in December. Somebody suggested I visited here but I didn’t have the time. I’ll definitely put it on my list when I’m back on the island.

[@BartRos1980]

This is amazing. I found your channel of a Nick Page video. Finally someone that actually talks about composition and actual photography instead of gear...

[@fototripper]

Thanks Bart and Thanks Nick Page

[@AbbasBinYounas]

Unreal colors!!! :O

[@100mikeshark]

Tighter comp is my fav 😀

[@nickbristol3457]

Gavin, I looked at this video before but could not leave a comment at that time. Enjoying your work very much and in this one I'm all over the wider shot. Both are very nice but that wide 18mm really works! cheers!

[@terrywbreedlove]

I think the last time I took the ferry over and visited the Gardens was in the early eighties. Time to go back.

[@grat2010]

Gorgeous. I love those closer, simpler compositions. It puts me right inside the scene. Great inspiration for my upcoming trip to catch autumn colors.

[@robertnelson3179]

Glade I found this one Gavin. Wife has been asking me to go up north to this garden and it looks to be worth it now thanks

[@eltinjones4542]

Some stunning shots there Gavin. Love your Vlogs 👌

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Butchart Gardens is most beautiful this time of year. Awesome images Gavin 😲 so jealous 😉 looking forward to spending a day or two out and about in our backyard mate. Thx for sharing and great advice. Cheers 🍻

[@fototripper]

Thanks Richard.

[@jasons.3921]

This was great! I really like the compositions you choose to shoot. I enjoy all of your shots, but, especially like the tight ones...no pun intended.

[@VasilisKaramanlis]

I just discovered your channel and I find that you a doing a great job! I enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you.

[@alunlambert7456]

Great Vlog, loved the wide shot.

[@TheGreensticker]

Gorgeous shots

[@Vacublaster1]

I have to say that I have learned so much about finding compositions from you, Adam, Thomas and Nick, thanks guys

[@johnsholian4318]

Very entertaining video. I don’t know how you managed to put up with the crowds as long as you did. I had a similar experience in Banff National Park in September. Way too many oblivious, selfie-stick toting “photographers” getting in the way. Kudos to you for imposing your will and getting some keepers. Cheers!

[@fototripper]

Aye John, it's brutal.

[@valpayne2963]

Soooperb! All of the images are beautiful. Not seen colours like that for long time. At 4.45 behind you at 2 o’clock was an atmospheric green knarly tree. Next trip. Thanks.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Val.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I had the same thought...

[@dumbscsf]

Another great video, needed a close up shot on the now famous birds-hit!! I prefer the wide angle shot. Great location and some fantastic images.

[@troyhowling2497]

Haha... Funny as..... Top of the class mate... #wideshot on that particular comp...

[@fototripper]

Cheers mate.

[@jimbean532]

Such a stunning image! Wow! The only thing that could have made this even more absolutely spectacular is if Catherine were in it!

[@fotofletch]

Gavin, your vlogs are a breath of fresh air to me mate! Very informative and funny as f**k. Just what I need in my boring life haha. Keep it up mate.

[@thevalleywalker]

fabulous location matched by your imagery, nice one.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Alan

[@paulbradbury7166]

I love it when people say, oh you taking pictures are you, mind goes omg, and you say yes in German. Works every time lol

[@matssandquist9258]

Funny and educating. I will be back. I´m in the subscribe list now.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Mats :)

[@paulprim2747]

Wow, just discovered your channel two days ago. You really do a great job. Nice vlogging, nice pictures, nice sarcastic humor. You deserve far far more subscribers.

[@fototripper]

Thanks Paul :)

[@odfarmboy]

I like the wider shot.

[@videos1692]

Beautiful location Gav

[@kit0415]

Love the 18MM

[@Nicktgrief]

beautiful ( as thomas H would say) location loved it there.

[@Zeppy007]

Nice Vid ! The tighter shot is much more pleasing to me...

[@williaminbody205]

I like the wide shot.

[@Randy-jp6ly]

so was this mid to late September or early to mid October, thanks! Fun Video.

[@robertemunds7750]

The wider shot is nicer. That being said, yours is the funniest youtube channel, but also informative and interesting. You're doing a great job, keep it up! Greetings from Brazil!

[@fototripper]

Thanks Robert

[@TheGuitarsadist]

I like the tight shot more, the one at 32mm. Love this video and all of yours, pictures are fantastic, the tips are great, and love the British sense of humor. Oh regardless of what you said about the chili dog, I notice that you put the fork to good use and appear to ate it all.

[@DesignGuyCA]

"...I've kind of gone a bit simple..." Me too, Gav. Me too. :)

[@robryan4272]

I like the 32 mm shot best. Shows the reflection on the water better. Both a just gorgeous though

[@Buzzregog]

Amazing shots - chili hot-dog, ill advised :) Oh and big fan of the spider shot!

[@wmbrennan]

32mm beautiful!

[@tjh44961]

I was last there in 2000, I can only imagine what the crowds are like there now.

[@PhotoTrekr]

Your original shot at Butchart Gardens looks like a million dollar shot to me.

[@viewfinderthis]

I prefer wider shots cause your able to tell more of a story but I also like closer shots for when you want that more intimate feeling

[@jmiller1819]

I've been loving your videos and your shot at the 5:30 mark is excellent. I struggle with shooting fall colors when back lit like that as my colors always appear too overly saturated, and was wondering how you post processed that shot? Looks like a little dodging and burning, and an slight Orton effect on the image? But wondering if you also pulled back the saturation a bit in the reds to give that great look? Would be cool to see a short video on how you process some of your images or even that one. Keep the great videos coming!

[@bradspiess6569]

great video again Gavin, I would go for the tighter shot : )

[@fototripper]

Thanks Brad :)

[@adventurewhitasiam]

The first one are verry goog ;) whit your big angle

[@Archibald_Quincy_Stanton]

I prefer the tighter simplified shots. My brain struggles with chaos, noise and crowds. Growing up in the PNW I will forever more hear the pronunciation "butt chart gardens" and I thank you for that😁

[@fototripper]

hahahahaah. I couldn't resist.

[@Archibald_Quincy_Stanton]

Loved it and Warren is a crack up

[@fototripper]

yeah, he should start his own channel. @@Archibald_Quincy_Stanton
