I Met Peter McKinnon...

You got my book right?: www.fototrippe...
I was thrilled to meet famous KZbinr Peter McKinnon and even more thrilled to receive some really helpful business tips. If only he'd turned out to be the real thing and not just some imposter.
In spite of this despicable lie, we still managed to have fun and capture some great landscape photography images.
I capture two epic sunset shots at some dramatic coastal cliffs but I need your help to decide which image makes it into my next book.
Being much older, I was able to get the imposter to carry my super heavy telephoto lens and to brave the bears on my behalf just to make sure it was worth me getting out of the air-conditioned car.
It wasn't.
After a failed hike in the forest, Amanda allows the imposter to use the campers shower but only outside. I take this is as an opportunity to make some easy cash by doing a livestream on Snapchat. I made a paltry $2 (Canadian).
I have to give him credit for his courage though, even after discovering 6 bear plops he was still game for a hike but what kind of a guy takes lube into a rainforest?
Will he ever get that selfie and will I receive a cease and desist from Peter McKinnon? Will any eligible ladies get in touch with him and how does Amanda manage to produce such volume?
There's really only one way to find out.
Thanks for watching

Afterglow shot for me

[@Streetswich]

And that shot hits like a truck full of dilldows😅😂

[@dwaytkus30]

The mushroom you asked about was Ghost Pipe and not a mushroom at all. They are a plant that is missing chlorophyll.

[@mannipearce3357]

Pano Sunset for me. Alex is a dead ringer for Ned Flanders (Simpsons) for sure.

[@fototripper]

I KNEW he reminded me of someone. Thanks for the reminder.

[@mannipearce3357]

@@fototripper Okey dokely doo...your welcome

[@AlexArmitage]

That Peter McKinnon sure is handsome

[@trout3212001]

Thanks for another entertaining video. I prefer the sunset image, although both were quite good

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Now that’s what they call a comeback !! Superb adventure Pal! The vertical pano for the bookage for sure !! Really enjoyed these shenanigans

[@mrjiggawatt]

I love the awkward interactions you have with people. You're such a funny guy.

[@seansaca]

Peter must be so grateful that you’ve put him on the map

[@bobtebbs7766]

Seriously though its great to see you back here... how is hard castle towers coming along we need an update 👍👍👍

[@bill.bergstrom]

No contest. Afterglow. Of all the KZbin subscriptions I have, yours is the one that makes me excitedly think "OH DAMN, A NEW ONE." And then I drop whatever I'm doing to watch. Keep it up. Most appreciated.

[@fototripper]

Thanks :)

[@Mike_Cook_85]

2 of my favorite photographers. Pretty awesome to see y’all get together and shoot some photos

[@afinney88]

That pano sunset version was my favourite. Beautiful shot!

[@zeballos5757]

The shower scene lol. Amanda cracks me up. Also, when she is in the background of some of the scenes. Best photography channel there is. Always makes me laugh.

[@robatkin7580]

Brillaint content, as always I will say it again, it should be mainstream TV

[@Cre8ivtouch]

The afterglow pic is lovely but the Pano sunset version is spot on! Sweet of you to say you wouldn't change Amanda for the world, she is belching champ for sure😄

[@johnrouterer9038]

Thanks Gary for introducing me to the fantastic Peter McKinnon, I can’t wait to get his book to put alongside my Adam Gibbs and Thomas Heston books. Thanks again Gary. 😂❤

[@michellewesson4409]

The drone footage was beautiful, and I vote for the the first photo. All of them are beautiful.

[@jillschindel2832]

I love the purple post-sunset version! Gorgeous. Also, I bet Pete would get a kick out of you. It'd be a fun cross-over.

[@larrysalaets7088]

I like the afterglow horizontal shot more, because of the light. Another fun video, but now I am feeling like the flying vampires are all around me 😬

[@danielschmaderer]

0:29 that fly went past your mic at the perfect comedic time

[@srameypr]

Well, I loved the first shot, but then I saw the afterglow shot. 💜

[@RikFreemanPhotographer]

Another fabulous video, thank Gavin for so many laughs along with some superb photography. I am now well and truly hooked on this channel and look forward to more new content although I am loving catching up on the back catalogue. As for the pic, I prefer the afterglow version. Softer and not so harsh colours and light, although the other is also top notch. 🙂

[@JayKay0245]

Great to see you guys back up to more shenanigans!

[@dotmatrix7383]

Afterglow horizontal for sure is my favorite. Love the cooler tones.

[@Mike_Cook_85]

You and Alex have helped me become a better photographer.

[@richcower]

Pano sunset version for sure. It's a beauty. Probably won't get me to buy your book, but it does belong there.

[@erth_mu]

afterglow one definitely!

[@SimonLewis_photography]

Brilliant as always! I think out of the two images, for me, it’s definitely the one with the sunlight lighting up the rocks. Looking forward to your Ireland videos.

[@ickebins6948]

The cliffs, that was a magentic pano shot! Well done.

[@jerryeisner1]

Speaking of funny...Were those lovely senior citizens really your parents! They seemed to have your exact sense of humor timing and attitude!!! Amazing teaching that you share with the world and Amazing Photography that comes out of what you do!!!

[@NeilArthurs]

Smashing video, and fair play to the effort put in to get to the cascade! I don't know about climbing down that rope though, seemed WaaaaaaY too sketchy! I really like the vertical pano, the light on the rocks and cliffs is just too nice!

[@Rayzer2368]

BUUUUURRRRRPPP! 🤣 You two are freaking hilarious together.

[@keessonnema]

Of the first two shots I prefer the sunset one, the other one is nice too, but the golden light suits the landscape better!

[@parishoffice6769]

Afterglow for me. I love the contrast between the warm glowing colour of the clouds and the cool purplish greys of the stone. In the pano I find the sun distracts from the main subject.

[@BucNasty32]

Love it Gavin. Hope you’ve been well.

[@TonyHogrefe]

They're both gorgeous, but those purple rocks of the afterglow trump the elegant light for me.

[@bobtebbs7766]

How very dare you go missing for weeks on end.. who were we supposed to watch. Grumpton or the heaton 😅😅😅

[@lostintransit5822]

What a feckin liberty😂😂

[@BrentHall]

So...Alex has the best license plate ever. My favorite band!

[@AlexArmitage]

link... in the description

[@JamesParkerPhotography]

Gavin - I think you shine your best when you have other photographers on your channel. Amanda is always a great foil for your antics, and when you add another photographer it takes it up to 11. Regardless, I always thoroughly enjoy your VLOGs.

[@oliverdecker1930]

Great episode again! Afterglow for me plus the drone shot, which was my favourite 🤙🏻. Thanks for the comedy, Gavin. Life is serious enough. We need need the laughs!

[@petersmitham8273]

The first ‘afterglow’ shot is my vote….but they’re both great!…😊

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff, i think i prefered the pano one but, the drone shot of the whole scene with you guys on the rocks was a killer,

[@TheCabinman]

Awesome video, looks like you are enjoying life … good for you!

[@russellu6152]

I Love the way Peter takes his photos. He’s really tall. Which is why he’s so smart. And even gooder than some all the time, with he/they photo picturepictures.. I like the way you can peel off the backing and upload them to autoshop after they dry. Love Peter…

[@rfeewjlj]

So glad you’re back this week!! I love both shots but the vertical pano is extra good!!

[@nyreemason9358]

Always authentic, entertaining and informative - love from one of the 2% female viewers ❤

[@denisesavage2382]

There’s a couple of us 2% . . . Yay!!!! Helping Amanda have some additional company.

[@alien6551]

Lol great video looks like your having a great time making these videos keep them coming please love them

[@beckyholub7467]

I like the first photo of the two you asked about. Loved the colors in it

[@sandracashes4255]

Both beautiful, but I prefer the sunset pano shot personally. Great as always.

[@jimmyhaha514]

both pics are fab Gavin 1st class stuff wow

[@RestemanIonut]

Love youre videos,you are a great photographer Gavin!!👍🏼🎉📸Greatings from Romania!!🇹🇩You have to take pictures in Romania,it is a gorgeous country.Have a nice day!!!📸👌🏻👌🏻

[@fototripper]

I could be tempted...

[@richardbuttner1989]

Both pictures are gorgeous, but I like the sunset version even more.

[@bludevlsi]

Both are amazing images but I definitely digging the afterglow pic slightly more.

[@SteveShueyPhotography]

Those two shots of NOT the lighthouse are great. Favorite is the afterglow shot. BTW, received your book a couple weeks ago. Enjoy it very much. Well done. Glad to add it to my collection.

[@fototripper]

Thanks muchly

[@gregreher]

For all of his faults Alex definitely redeemed himself with his choice of license plate.

[@sophietucker1255]

Some very nice images and it’s always fun to see Amanda and her fantastic sense of humor. After watching you and Alex/Peter I had to watch some Three Stooges videos to see some real juvenile humor

[@montanaguy51]

It would have been really cool if at the end of the video there was a cameo of the real Peter McKinnon. lol Or at some point him just walking by you guys glaring at you.

[@chrisburnard5157]

Great content, as amusing as ever, thank you. Personally prefer the vertical pano.

[@mattadamsphotography]

I think the pano sun version works the best to my eye. Both are beautiful though. Thanks as always for the inspiration, Gavin! Don’t let Peter McKinnon get you down.

[@Dario_R_3]

A new episode of a great KZbin’s series; haven’t watched the video yet but glad to see it’s over 30 minutes long

[@jennifercrouse]

I read this great article about things you can do with old books and instantly thought about all of yours that didn’t sell...here are a few of their suggestions- remove the spine and use as a bookmark for other books (like Adam Gibbs' 'Quiet Light'), stack to make a doorstop, stack to create table legs to make a coffee table to display beautiful photography books (like Thomas Heaton's 'Landscape Photography on Location'), cut out the center of a book to create a hiding place for valuables (lens cleaning cloth?), cut out the pictures to craft greeting cards (you could send these to potential sponsors like Charmin!), you could also cut out the text to make a decorative wrap around candles, or tear out pages to make placemats! So many possibilities! You're welcome 😊 ❤!

[@roblloyd6022]

Great video as always. I prefer the vertical pano :)

[@powderedtoastman3093]

I’ve got this 14-24mm on my Sonesslbladifilm camera. Beautiful images - Pano sunset for sure 😊

[@DavesEpicPhoneShots]

I loved the video, too many laughs 🤣 The first pic was my favorite. Hilarious shower scene! And of course the photos were stunning, the water reflections were brilliant👏🤩

[@dholahansr]

I think you should put both shots in the book as examples of how you can get multiple photos out of a single location at the same time. The description of the result would help a great deal also.

[@TheTrailMixTV]

So cool to see Peter collabing with bigger youtubers and expanding his audience!

[@michaeltillman886]

What's up Gavin? I see you like hanging out with silly folks. No offense to Peter. Actually as always; pretty funny stuff Gavin. As far as what shot I would go with; I think the one lit up by the sun on the rocks look great! Keep up with the great work dude. Peace!

[@Brock_in_the_North]

Back after 2 weeks with a 35 min video. Redeemed! Peter just peaked his career by appearing in a hardcastle video. Welcome to big time Peter! Won't be long before he's on kicking horse and travelling around with a coffee grinder. He knows that's what pulls in the sponsorship deals.

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

I like both images ! You may use both in the next book explaining mastering light for example ? Nice video, funny as ever !

[@jimsmith556]

Both shots are stunners. If I had to choose I'd go for the more moody afterglow, with the cool colours in the rocks and softer tones. No wait, I like the warm light splashes and clarity of the pano. Damn. No, definitely leaning toward the afterglow ... That last location was jaw dropping. The sidelight and reflections, wow!

[@Kev5565]

I'm having pointy panogasms at the moment but might have a re-watch for an afterglow cigarette. That's a stunning place, I bet it's awesome when the sea is rough.

[@gonzalomoreno1213]

The first pano looks better to me. Awesome location

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Wow the drone shot later on in the video is a stunner. The patterns in the sands were nuts. On the earlier shots the second one had the edge, the sun in the frame on the first one was a bit much.

[@zhyaxxion]

pano sunset for me, the glow on the cliff face is gorgeous

[@mickeystine3100]

very nice shots. 👍👍👍

[@nightspore4850]

Definitely afterglow. Perfection. Moody, mysterious. Superb.

[@obikedog]

Colors are spectacular in the afterglow shot but the vertical wide-angle seems much more majestic and has my vote. (Living at the beach in San Diego maybe spoiled me but colorful sunset photos are a dime a dozen - still nice!)

[@Donmoyers71]

Great shots. Afterglow

[@joshashdown4431]

I pick the first image but liked them both. Excellent work. I know that wasn't Peter because he didn't punch the air in front of him and say "Butts up everybody!" at least that is what I hear in his intros ha ha. Alex is awesome! Glad to see he was there to ruin your shots and get in the way :)

[@jeffolson4731]

So good to see a new video from you that I decided to give you a thumbs up at the beginning and end. 😅

[@philippesandmeier3736]

Hilarious and gorgeous shots and clips at the same time!

[@davebryer6133]

I loved both of the photos from the beach toward the beginning of the video, but what really impressed me was your decision to not try and go down that cliff face for the waterfall shot, I don't want to worry you but you may be maturing.

[@valeman1958]

Much prefer the sunset pano, but both versions still awesome!

[@conniequinton371]

The portrait version with pointy distortions. Love the episode!

[@garyg.1122]

Post sunset for me. The foreground cool tones of the rocks is just tasty with the sprinkling of the orangey cinnamon in the clouds is a nice addition. The pano just falls 2nd in the hierarchy of deliciousness. On a minor, nit picky aspect is the sun sits a wee bit close to the frame for my amateurish eye. Will admit your channel is the most entertaining and insightful going! Humor, what a concept! 😅 Ah, Alex is a fan of Rush _ ,,, _ .... _ _ ...

[@jdillard8940]

YYZRUSH tag! Gavin you need to keep Alex around.

[@stevejohnson5461]

At least for Bear fodder.

[@heyx-dan]

Absolutely the after glow version, who is a lot more subtile and brings more colors and serenity in it! Thanks for your AWE-some vids!! (And Yes I have your book and it's signed by you 😁)

[@fototripper]

You are so welcome!

[@scottburke3876]

I was at the same lighthouse this July, foggy and cloudy. Unfortunately, was hoping for a Milky Way shot with the lighthouse in the frame. Loved the “afterglow” shot. Interested in the “shoreline” workshop if it ever happened!

[@stevehassall6862]

I love Alex's number plate, Rush the best band ever, RIP Neil Peart

[@M31glow]

Spectacular images! Well done

[@peterfritzphoto]

Great collab. Loved it! And wow, those drone shots are friggin' awesome!! Alex is a funny f*cker.

[@fingaldronephotography9162]

The second photo at the cliffs is beautiful. Afterglow 👏

[@dman_gonefishing]

Horizontal my pick nice work 📸

[@ember_notes]

I prefer the pano sunset version though they are both amazing.

[@janicemarino4646]

Missed you guys. Glad you are back. Love your work. Can you bring back "I have a face like..."? 😂

[@fototripper]

Just for you then.

[@DavidHarrisGRI]

The sunset pano. Sweet!

[@starrbaby66]

Loved the after glow photo best! Love your videos ♥️

[@RussRead]

I prefer the more subtleness of the afterglow. Everyone goes after the sunset, but you excel at the more subtle nuances with the afterglow shot.

[@raymonddowning3500]

think you should put both images in, it shows if you are patient you may get another fantastic shot 👍⭐

[@Donmoyers71]

I'll be going on a leaf peeping photo safari this weekend. Colorado fall is amazing.
