[@Andrew_marr]

Wonder Gary, great to hear the night when well mate! The location in the Lake District looks fantastic with lots of interesting compositions, those cliffs were amazing. Reminds me of my own trip to the Lake District. I can understand why you’re so excited about returning.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Andrew. Thanks for saying. I'm back there tomorrow for a sunrise again :) Glutton for punishment :)

[@douglasclayden4941]

[@desgardner7169]

Its all been said before....Wow what lovely images you got Gary! the light was perfect for you, and I loved the car light trails.....Thank you.

[@acsolares2]

I must say the images in lighting like this are so beautiful, full of soul

[@mikekerry5466]

I have only just seen this Gary - outstanding images - inspirational, fantastic, brilliant. Keep them coming.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Mike, kind of you to say

[@cuddysark1]

Gary, the 1st pic you captured the movement of the water perfectly. The rest of the pics look 3D and all we could say was WOW!. It was as if I could walk into the place through my screen. And as I have said before your the best when it comes to putting a video together. Thanks for giving us time to enjoy each and every shot and for all the rest that you do to give us an insight into your world.

[@GaryGough]

Glad you liked the pictures. Very kind comments too Cheers 👍

Thank you Marcel

[@robertjones769]

Hi Gary - STUNNING images at the end. What a beautiful place. Thanks for another great vlog.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Rob

[@martinjn2920]

Gary, brilliant vlog, brilliant images, I cannot get enough of Wastwater, it is as you have found a great place to visit, the lake doesn't seem to get many visitors as everyone heads to Wasdale Head to climb the mountains which gives more scope for photographers.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Martin, I've just made a note of that, I'm on it! Cheers :)

[@wiffer64]

Gary, Wastwater is our favorite place in the Lake District and now cannot wait to get back there. Thanks another great vlog

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Will, very kind

[@robertjohn819]

Thanks for showing such amazing photographs Gary. I did visit wastwater once 40 years ago and was blown away then. Still have the views in my minds eye. I took a few very average pics on a Practica LTL3. Me at fault not the camera. Its fantastic to see your work.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Rob, it's clearly still an amazing place. My first camera was a Praktika MTL5 :)

[@clivepratt4269]

Thank you Gary, one of the best vlogs I have watched. Great production, great scenery and fantastic rich colour photos. I will definitely having a look up at Wastwater.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Clive, very kind

[@garios49]

Hi Gary what a beautiful day you had and what an amazing pictures. I really enjoyed this video !

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Phil

[@tudorwest1]

Absolutely fantastic Gary, an amazing place. Don’t we live in a fabulous country. My ‘to go to’ list is pages long!!!

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Drew. So true, it's a beautiful place indeed!

[@ianclark2722]

Hi Garry Another great video, I went to Wastwater a couple of years ago with a mate of mine, also a photographer, we never managed to take a picture, the wind was blowing that much we could,nt stand up let alone get some shots so I will have to return one day, as you say it really is a great place, regards Ian

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Ian. I was blown away in the video too :) Cracking place though

[@allandavies1187]

You got some lovely shots there. I believe if I am correct. That Wastwater is the deepest lake in England. If it goes quiet in the pub Gary, throw that one in!

[@GaryGough]

I read that too :) Cheers Allan

[@mattcutting5223]

I couldn’t agree with you more, Gary. Wastwater is an amazing location that just gets better and better the more you explore.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Matt, Can't wait to go back when the lake is still :)

[@mattcutting5223]

Me too. it was a cloudless evening when I went there and the lake wasn't still. got some great shots though :)

[@justinholding02]

Nostalgia... I used to live in the lakes before we moved to France 28 years ago. Thanks Gary, brings back great memories..

[@GaryGough]

Thanks Justin

[@philippeguichard5670]

Some really nice shots you got on this trip! The blue hour photos turned out great with a deep mood feel. I would agree, this place is magnificent and I will have to put it on my bucket list.. Keep the good work. Cheers!

[@GaryGough]

Thank you Philippe

[@peterbiggin7193]

Yet another location to add to the list I'm going to have to live at least another 70 yrs to fit them all in. Great video Gary as always

[@GaryGough]

lol well Peter, you'll just have to stay alive longer :)

[@grahamhall5211]

Nice one Gary them were brilliant 👏 😊

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Brilliant as always young Garry lovely shots of a place for me always pee's wi rain whenever I've gone there mind you I should be used to that coming from Scotland!! Keep em coming Jim

[@GaryGough]

You've no room to moan coming from Scotland :)

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Aye ah no but I think I'm competing with Jason Jones on the grumpy scale Mind you at 64 I've had more practice!! ;-)

[@OFGW]

I just found your channel by recommendation of David Dixon. I am happy to have made the discovery. I have watched several of your videos so far and look forward to binge watching when I can. I am enjoying your photography, your energy and your unique presentation. Thank you for the content you are putting out.

[@GaryGough]

Thank you very much for saying. Very kind

[@BigPhilipUK]

Gary, I knew when you said that you were going to a wonderful place at the end of the Compo, Clegg and Foggy vlog that you’d be going to Wasdale. My wife is a nurse and one of her patients about 30 years ago told us about it and we’ve bee at least once a year every year since then. I get as excited as you every time I go, it’s just a beautiful place even though I’ve never been lucky enough to see a good sunset but I did once experience it mirror flat which was one of those experiences that will live with me forever. Another belting vlog, keep up the good work.

[@GaryGough]

Glad you liked it, Phil. I'm there again tomorrow. Can't wait :) 👍

[@BigPhilipUK]

Lucky bugger, I'll be watching Town v Liverpool like a glutton for punishment.

[@stephendarlington]

Another stunning and inspirational vlog Gary - makes me wish I lived closer to the lakes.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Steve 👍

[@usaf2280]

Fantastic video and photographs again Gary! Keep 'em coming!

[@GaryGough]

Thank you

[@obroadieswimmer]

Some utterly stunning images there Gary. I love your passion too. Cheers.

[@billonthehill9984]

Inspiring images Gary. Getting down low on the moving water entering the lake with the long exp. was simply awesome. I love how you captured that sheen on the lake as well... Nice you keep in touch with Thomas Heaton too... I will take a look at Bill Ward's stuff as well... The UK is so beautiful and you seem to keep your feet firmly planted there, can't say I blame you on that score! Bill Farr... :-)

[@GaryGough]

Thank you Bill, ceers 👍

[@cuddysark1]

Gary, I watched this video again and I find TH absolutely stunning; however there is a higher level of excellence, i.e. ABSOLUTELY (GARY GOUGH) AMAZING. As a result I have started the Gary Gough fan club this morning. This afternoon my wife came home and viewed your video and the membership doubled. I am asking all your subscribers to join the club, there are no dues, no meetings and only one thing to do; every time you watch a Gary Gough video give it a thumbs up and you are automatically a member in good standing. The wife loved the bicycle photo. Cheers from the States.

[@GaryGough]

👍 Consider me a member too :) Comments like this just makes it all worthwhile. Thank you

[@barrymcalle7377]

Excellent video and edited superbly but the star of the show is where you were I love it over there and it’s the starting place for some great hikes and images, well done Gary

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Barry

[@richardswift8517]

Great video,I love the way you process your images.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Rich

[@quarkyman1]

That was just stunning, thanks again Gary brilliant vlog. Loved the bike shots at the end.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Michael

[@sergeram1436]

Another great video off the Lakes.Really enjoy your videos ,im just a beginner and pick up loads. Your absolutely right about Wast water being reflective, i took a picture over 20 years ago off Wast water with a complete mirror image off the surrounding mountains in the Lake on a cheap pocket film camera.great work keep it up

[@GaryGough]

Thank you Serge

[@steveperkins3718]

You’re making some of us ex pats homesick Gary. Even though my adopted home of New Zealand has some amazing landscape opportunities, you can’t beat England’s green and pleasant land.

[@GaryGough]

I'm sure you're missing the cold, freezing, nasty wintry weather ;)

[@carolhawkridge1047]

Ooohh Mr Gough, I've fallen in love again, what a stunning place, beats River Lealt. On my to do list. Images are breath taking Gary #no. 1.

[@GaryGough]

Thanks Carol. See you next week (I think) :)

[@tw9535]

That opening green screened over spinning drone shots was making me a liitle bit seasick... but I knew the eventual payoff of the video would be some gorgeous landscape photos and that was certainly true. Thanks as always for sharing your very inspiring work.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Wilson, sorry :) Glad you persevered with the video though and thanks 👍

[@photografiaaustralis2131]

Stunning location. Fantastic photographs. Greg

[@GaryGough]

Thank you 👍

[@ianbrown704]

A cup of tea and leave the wife watching Emmerdale, doesnt get any better - great work Gary

[@GaryGough]

lol So true Ian :)

[@jimcooke5590]

Awesome vlog gary. Breathtaking images and great music to match.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Jim

[@Jawright2k]

Great location, great video and great images (as usual!) Gary - however I particularly love the 'UFO' that comes into view (just as you are saying how awesome everything is) around 5:24... :)

[@GaryGough]

lol Hi Martyn, that's me droning myself when doing a piece to camera. Multitasking at it's finest ;)

[@jonathansalter5689]

Amazing shots Gary, I know what you mean I love Wastwater.

[@GaryGough]

Amazing place indeed :)

[@mikemitchell3889]

Gary, Nice job rending the color in what many may have perceived as leaning towards "drab." The location certainly looks to be all eye candy, and very inspiring, I can understand your being so stoked to be in that locale Nice also to see you shooting ISO 50. That's where I shoot everything but critters and I love the results my 5 ds r yields in the ISO "basement." Keep on wid it, brother. Also, I very much appreciate your recent critique. Your words were worth gold and gave me some very good insight from your learned perspective. Thank-You, Mike

[@GaryGough]

Thank you and you're welcome anytime Mike.

[@darioulmann4459]

Your recent vlogs are next level! Great job Gary, keep it up. love it!

[@GaryGough]

Thank you Dario

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Gosh Gary you have got my two human companions remembering the last time they visited Waswater and Wasdale it was late summer in 1994 !!!!! and it was their very first weekend away together. They were both in their element capturing images on their film SLRs !!!!! After seeing this Vlog they now want to go back and capture some images on Digital . Thank you for the inspiration and another great Vlog.

[@GaryGough]

Thank you, Teddy. I hope they make a return visit. As you can see it's still an amazing place 👍

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

I will try and do a Teddy Vlog if they do ;-]

[@garybeaumont1373]

Brilliant vlog, great images, great sound track , great to see your enthusiasm, and an absolutely amazing location, one of my favourite places in the UK, I now feel it’s time to plan a trip

New sub here Gary. Came here a couple of weeks ago via Mr Johnson's channel. Really enjoying your VLOGs and really envious of the images you take !!! Thanks for sharing.

[@GaryGough]

Thank you, Tim, and welcome :)

[@andymiles5156]

Beautiful, still an area I need to get to. It seems Bill is everywhere. He was in an old episode of Midsummer Murders the other night, then the night after he was in an old episode of Jonathan Creek, and now he’s popping up in your vlog! I never knew he was a photographer.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Andy. He keeps getting killed off for some unknown reason :) His work is great. Take a look

[@andymiles5156]

Well if it happens during your “Evening with” event then you could charge extra for a murder mystery night 😉. Just viewed his web site, impressive.

[@jasonhunt3970]

Great vlog Gary and beautiful photos. I been to Wastwater a couple of time but on walking trips without the camera. This has inspired me tho, and I'll be returning this year armed with the camera! thanks.

[@GaryGough]

Thanks, Jason

[@therealstig3702]

Speechless...

[@GaryGough]

Hope that's for good reason :)

Thumbs up ere' Gary and another great photography vlog! Watched from start to finish!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing Bill's work! Nice work with the drone! Some great shots too!!!! Many thanks for sharing your work :)

[@GaryGough]

Hi Anthony, you didn't miss it, I forgot to add it to the credits in the video footer. I will add it tonight. My bad :)

[@heilandgunner]

Hi Gary, Another excellent vlog. You're rapidly becoming my favourite photo youtuber. Love the way you're always positive, despite the conditions and your photos are an inspiration. Please keep it up.

[@GaryGough]

Only miserable when the wife's around ;) shhhh don't tell her :)

[@heilandgunner]

Don't worry. I'll keep your secret;-) It's common challenge...

[@andy1753]

Love your vlogs and great images as always!

[@GaryGough]

Thanks Andy

[@worldtorights6069]

Hi there Gary, I watch your vlogs all the time but have never commented but not sure why. I love your sense of humour and demeanour on camera makes for easy watching. I see you met up with Paul Johnson and shot some zoo animals ( not literally ) I'm a massive fan of Paul too. But yeah, just wanted to say thanks for the monumental efforts that you guys go to producing these vlogs and beautiful, beautiful images. Hope your little dog is all recovered from the Bothy trip. Must get to some of these places myself and branch out from Lincolnshire. Brilliant efforts and stunning images. Excellent

[@GaryGough]

It's comments like this Peter that make it all worthwhile. Thank you

[@davidguedj4489]

Beautiful, where did you parked for the picture at 2:26 Mn ?

[@GaryGough]

Oh that's an old video David :) You can park on the many grass verges close by

[@JohnGreenwoodPhotography]

Another positive and inspiring vlog Gary. I have visited Wast Water 3 times and the weather was horrendous on every visit which made this lake depressing to me so I never went back. After seeing you video, it has definitely changed my mind.

[@GaryGough]

Hi John, The weather was pretty pants on both of my visits too. Just have to keep at it :)

[@davidpearce2981]

Stunning place gary

[@GaryGough]

Hi Dave, cheers

[@charliethebubbles]

Really liked this vlog, never been to this lake. defo on my list now.

It's a must Charles :)

[@Cumbriahandyman]

Have a few pictures of Wastwater, I live about 35 minutes drive from it. Must go back soon.

[@GaryGough]

Yeah it's a fantastic place. I need to return there again :) Thank you for your support. Happy New Year to you and yours for 2020. Cheers xx

[@garypentecost833]

Stunning images and footage 🤘

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Gery 👍

[@richardknapper7533]

Hi Gary, loved the video and your images as always were stunning. Shooting in the Lakes is very challenging especially as it seems to change from one valley to the next. Wasdale is certainly one of my fav's, I have been there on numerous occasions including yesterday, I discovered a new as I slipped coming down one of the boggy paths managing to ruin a poloriser, still at least it wasn't the camera. I have two questions, did you know that bloke on the bike as you did your opening piece to camera and how do you record your audio? Looking forward to more video's from you.

[@GaryGough]

Hi Rich, sorry about your polarizer. Like you said luckily it wasn't the camera. I simply record the sound using the inbuilt mic on my Canon G7X MKII. I'm starting to vlog on my 1DX and for that, I use an external mic attached to the flash mount on the camera. Hope this helps.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Great watch again Gary stunning vlog essential viewing mate

[@GaryGough]

Thank you kindly

[@wilbmoore]

I simply enjoyed your amazing vlog. And the music was dope. I loved it.

Thank you :)

[@jimhamilton8775]

Up there with your best vlogs Gary. Your images will certainly promote Wastwater to other photographers.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Jim, very kind again

[@anthonysalas9167]

Gary just wanted to think you for another great video. You took some gorgeous shots. I have to invest on a 10-stop filter. You are hilarious though.

Amazing shots and awesome B roll mate. The drone footage is great. Maybe I will try and do a vlog some day... I just need to work out how to “ken burns” my pics to show them off. A lot of work goes into these. Always appreciated mate... thanks. Jase

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Jason. Get out there and do it 👍 👍 👍

[@owenjohn1192]

Great vlog, weather looking a bit crap on Sunday, F**k it, I was torn between North Wales and Wastwater. I think you have just sold Wastwater to me!

[@GaryGough]

Hi Owen, Thank you. Be aware of your SatNav route. Avoid Hardknott Pass & Wrynose Pass at all costs :)

[@owenjohn1192]

What's a sat nav? I have a map, however I was tempted to do Wrynose Pass and hardknott, guess I will have to take the low road and not the high road!

[@jpdeardenphotography]

Is it accessible for wheelchairs? Stunning photos

[@GaryGough]

The lakeside is pretty well accessible. There isn't a road up to the lake though. You can park fairly close (40' away) and there are flat bits of grass that will be easy to access if it's not too wet and boggy. To be sure, I would Google Maps the location and look at the street view.

[@jpdeardenphotography]

Thanks Gary. Will have a look. Looks a stunning place

[@ML5Photo]

Great vlog. I'm heading there on Sunday for a few days if you are in the area.?

[@GaryGough]

Look out for me, I'm there from Monday all week :) Come and say hi

[@ML5Photo]

[@peterosborne9802]

Awesome video Gary, WOW what an amazing location, some absolutely stunning images mate and some good drone footage. I bet that reflection must be awesome in the right conditions. Anyway great stuff, looking forward to the next one 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Also I have just looked up Bill Wards site and what an awesome collection of images, just amazing, it would be worth the $2500 round trip from New Zealand just to see him in your presentation, but never the less I don't think my wife would quite understand LOL!!

[@GaryGough]

lol, what's wrong with her for heaven's sake. She needs trading in :) Cheers again Tim 👍

[@SidBonkers51]

Great video Gary, what a location! How much did you have to pay the guy on the bike to pose for you ;)

[@GaryGough]

lol Cheers Sid. It was my pal. He drove do I felt obliged :)

[@mikekay6288]

Thanks as always; beautiful shots at the end of your video. Almost bypassed as I saw 'Waste"water', perhaps they should re-name it 'Vastwater'; then again, who am I? Mike in Oz

[@GaryGough]

lol It looks like that to be fair Mike :) Glad you looked it over though. Cheers

[@carmenb1059]

Beautiful photos Gary! Makes me want to visit the lake district some day. Keep it up! ps - what was the music in this video? Loved it!

Hi John, I don't know who he is? Please let me know and add a link to his work. Cheers

Is Thomas Heaton really just the pseudonym Bear Grylls uses for his Landscape Photography business?

[@GaryGough]

I think you might be on to something there :)

[@mikekoenig2]

Gary Gough thanks for reply Gary. Big fan of both Thomas and yourself. Keep up the good work.
