I just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago while searching for landscape photography tips. I am probably 15 hours of content in, and I've gotta say that this is my find of the year, I absolutely love it. The shots, the experience, the tips, THE HUMOUR, Amanda, everything. What a fantastic channel. I think I'll stay a little late tonight and watch another one. My face will look like a pound of pulled pork tomorrow but who cares.

A " hitchhiker"?...a bloody caterpillar!!!!......I was expecting it to be Tom Heaton or Uncle Grumpatious....... still a great video......

That's who I was hoping for...especially as we haven't seen the famous comedic double act of Hardcastle and Gibbs in years...

@bobhathaway529 Ай бұрын

I love Iceland that time of year. The 24 hour light makes moving around at your leisure so easy. We did the same thing at the iceberg pond. Arrived at nearly midnight and were the only ones there. Such a magical place. As for the lupines, I too was amazing with how many there were and how beautiful and fragrant they were. I later learned they were also highly invasive and had been introduced to control erosion. They do make for a spectacular foreground, however!

Go to South island of New Zealand if you want glaciers coming down to the coast through rain forest. You would be there for months as there is so much spectacular scenery.

@martinpriest5446 Ай бұрын

really enjoying your Iceland venture Gavin, and some cracking images with a super quality to them, I don,t think Amanda was to impressed telling her it was a 20min walk turned into 1 hour, ha ha, but she did enjoy the chocolates, looking forward to your next one.

The Lupins of Iceland enhance everything. You should go to the road leading to Seljalandsfoss and put them in the foreground with the waterfall in the background. I was in Iceland this last Summer and it was one of my favorite shots of the trip. Iceland is a dream! Great shots and video, Gavin!

The dreaded white/pale grey sky. All I get back in the UK. So many days I just don’t go out shooting. But snowing tonight so I actually want a white sky tomorrow for a kind of atypical lone tree arty mono shot. 🙄🤣👍📸

@Emerald_City_ Ай бұрын

LOL! Had a lot of fun watching this. I already had a sneaking suspicion you were British but lived in Canada, and now I'm sure: you complain, even about the clear skies (thus east side of the Atlantic), and you come a long way just for having seen a photo about a place, only to take another photo of that same place and object (= west side of the Atlantic)... your identity has now been fully established

@MarkoBishopJadro 3 күн бұрын

Been watching your videos for many years now but especially loving this Icelandic series! For my next trip to Iceland I've been planning to go to that canyon (5th minute in your video) but I still haven't found it's location. Would you be so kind to give me directions?

@katrinawalker5160 Ай бұрын

Lovely image there at the end, Gavin, but I am afraid I must disagree with you on the Sirius chocolate. I normally eat Swiss and Belgian chocolate because I always favour quality over quantity. But I came home from Iceland last Sunday with six assorted bars of Sirius chocolate because I think it's really delicious.

My first thought seeing that poo was, deer. I didn't think there were deer in Iceland, but I just read that reindeer were introduced in the 18th century and they are fairly common now on the east side. So if you were in East Iceland, it's a reindeer. Another cool video!

@davidakoubian3025 Ай бұрын

I can tolerate the licorice but only in small quantities. If you didn't try the chocolate with mint creme, you missed out. It is made by Sirius as well. I bring back a bunch every time we go. We are headed back in February, if I remember I'll bring back enough to send you one.
