When Landscape Photography Takes a Wrong Turn...

[@PhotoLighthouse]

When Gavin, Adam, Thomas or Nick are posting anything, I ''Like'' it first and then I watch. You guys ROCK!

[@wcwendychapman]

Those back lit forest photos around the 8 minute mark in the video have to be some of your most beautiful. Heaven on earth.

[@helmutNO]

"It is absolutely magical, look at this" - *shows Amanda* --> Awwww! 🙂

[@fototripper]

;)

[@MrThunderMonky]

No lie, my fiancée (a photographer as well) and I LOVE watching ur videos together! Thanks for all ur hard work brother! Top work

[@neildethridge9455]

Just realised watched y’a. Now for 2 1/2 years , wow what a legend you really are thanks for the last couple of years of lighter side of life educational and extremely funny times,, I don’t think people really realise just how much you come into people homes and life’s just through KZbin, if you ever feeling a bit down or just fancy a quick pick me up go back and watch some of the older ones, , a big thankyou for every moment you’ve shared along the adventures of fototripper. You really are a good person .

[@fototripper]

I'm actually terrible but thanks for the kind words Neil.

[@AnthonyCrouchPhotography]

Those backlit fog photos, even better than the pano... Geez, i bet you guys were excited, catching those circumstances. Magical

[@M.Campbell]

That first photo of the mountains and small islands is my favorite. Amazing!

[@gordieparenteau6555]

Uncle Grumpy's back! The Odd Couple are back together. Rejoice!

[@richardthomas3382]

bums a bit soggy...... we are in for another great vid 😁

[@trevhillphotography7852]

Sky replacement software is brilliant for Real Estate photography, but not something I’m personally keen on for landscape pics. I’m not sure the next Chasing Awe by Gavin Hardcastle will have as much awe if there were pics included with that method.

[@CharlesMercer]

Love the way you revisit places in case the light may somehow become more friendlike. And I am glad you take Adam with. Because everyone needs a friend, no matter how grumpacious

[@timshields8720]

Its always a pleasure waking up to Gavin hanging out with Sir Grump Alot! My day will be a good one 👍

[@gregroberts875]

I truly love it when you guys do a video together. The banter back and forth between you two is awesome... it makes me laugh!!by the way my copy of the book arrived last week...the book is great..thanks so much for making and sharing this video...

[@fototripper]

Excellent.

[@wimair_at]

So sweet, also with the snowy mountainpeaks in the back.

[@MrCochise71]

Awesome brother . Also you're safe in the woods with Adam. Since he looks like someone in lord of the rings these days. 🤣🤣

[@AnthonyCrouchPhotography]

I am not sure, have you ever seen how the guys hair looks like in the Shining.

[@nb7524]

Lord of the Rings!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Rreudiger]

Grumpdalf…😂

[@andrewnoden9117]

Hi Gavin, thanks for the book. Awesome work. Another great video. Great to see you with Adam again.

[@markbaigent8373]

That beach to snow capped mountains is stunning

[@bbark7380]

I've been watching your channel now for a few years and I have always really enjoyed the episodes. The photography has been very informative and inspiring, to say the least. But I had to pause the video at 8:32, by far one of the best shots I've seen. I can't believe that was taken from Vancouver Island. I live right next to you near anacortes, state side and that shot looks like something from the Amazon Jungle. Soo cool!

[@grahamwickens6842]

Absolutely stunning. Those backlit mist images are what dreams are made of. 👌🏼

[@ianhamer4294]

40 mins of mirth, farts and a bit of photography, there's no beating that. Gav at his best.

[@4053rubber]

Face like an undercooked Fray Bentos Pie lol. My mum used to buy those tinned pies when we were kids. Ha ha. How many of these 'face like a....,' can you think of lol? Love it 👍👍👍😂

[@AnthonyCrouchPhotography]

That pano, magnificent. Beautiful...

[@ibp2007]

Eagles have been known to carry off sheep and shortarses. Be careful. Great photography. Great entertainment. Thank you Gavin 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@MikeDQB]

I really enjoy your lighthearted attitude.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Another epical adventure with the three musketeers !!! That fog was awesome !! Well done my friend !!

[@paynescaping8957]

Love these longer episodes, well done

[@msingrey14]

Fantastic vlog, as usual. All three of you guys always seem to have so much fun together. The silliness is a given, the beautiful images are expected. However, I wasn't expecting the uncanny Ostrich impression: Amanda and Adam are truly gifted.

[@fototripper]

they are...special

[@robgrayson]

Those two layered tree shots at around 8:18 are just gorgeous 🙂

[@mickbear413]

Absolutely amazing images, and a great video. You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world

[@mycowilderness3489]

Sky replacement is a no from me, part of the journey is being there for the right conditions... No light, no clouds, go back and get the shot another time. 🙂

[@roderickwho1983]

Those "Jusassic Park" photos of the forrest are absolute stunners. Boo to those anti camper ticket giver outers. You wouldn't have been ticketed if you'd been driving Heaton's van. Thanks again.

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

the shot at 8:50 is so gorgeous, one of my favorites from you!

[@mikemackenzie9064]

I love watching your stuff Adam! I have watched them all + bought the book and all bring inspiration with a light humour that i love. Thanks for filming your experiences!

[@rnavarrete1956]

Greetings from Oakland,CA. I’m really enjoying your recent vlogs without the comedy bits. Your natural humor and good nature with Amanda, (and Uncle Grumpy,) and your wonderfully clear explanations of your photographic thinking and process, is terrific. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into these KZbin videos.

[@christinaphillips1072]

Awesome video. But they're all awesome videos! Amanda is hilarious 🤣 that ostrich impression was spot on 🤪 as as far as you photoshoping in the clouds, nah I don't consider that cheating, its your art, do as you will is what I say, I have done that myself plenty of times when there's been a boring sky. I actually take pictures of pretty skies and clouds that I could possibly use if I had to, so technically even if I have to photoshop the sky its still 100% my picture 😁

[@dazzypops]

31:14 - a masterclass in videography, pretty much an Oscar in the bag to the production team.

[@fototripper]

My audience deserves nothing less...

[@matthitchins4525]

Great video and awesome to see Adam back. Can we have a video and Amanda outtakes soon though, that Ostrich impression was spot on 😂😂

[@marieta.s]

I have to say I quite enjoy these longer videos of yours. I pass my time with something that I like since I don't really watch tv and it is a subject that literally is my favorite.

[@bossofthemoss450]

Your ability to tell the difference between ocean and lakes..... awesome 🤩😉☺️😂😂😂

[@fototripper]

It's a skill.

[@christocrafford1812]

Gavin, your videos are so fun and turns a crap day into a laugh....and your point of view as it come to finding great composition is always worth the watch.... Keep it rolling....

[@robertocastro4403]

Dude, I didn't even notice the length of the video until someone mention it. I was waiting for this 2nd part of the rendez vous of lord Hardcastle and Grampton the first. It didn't disappointed the high expectations. Really entertaining, funny and informative as always. Thanks for these videos Gavin!

[@l63r40s4]

I really like your knarly trees in the fog at the end. Very dramatic. Beautiful layers in all your photos and the waves washing over the rocks fantastic. The humour as always fun! Loved it!

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Personally to me your best photography and one of your best videos you’ve made. If I ever make to VC Island, these locations are top on the list! Wonderful Gavin!

[@beatfarmerfan]

At 8:43, you can’t get better than that! Gorgeous.👍

[@LuigiNespeca]

Great Gavin, the mountains in the distance still snowy are really terrifique! You caught seasonal layers as well: winter into spring! see you, ciao!

[@tomwedge308]

Can't believe you hiked up that hill with your book in the bag for a quick plug, that's dedication.

[@fototripper]

Well...I thought I could get Grumpacious to carry it down...

[@claudiofasetti6614]

wow, love the picture with your new 100-400 lens. Thank you! Can t wait for the next video clip! Take care!

[@dinsdalephotography]

Another fantastic video! Since we're locked down again here in MB, getting out with you lads is one of the few joys in life! Thank you for all you do and taking us with you on your adventures.

[@srameypr]

I really needed to do a chore before dinner ... but to hell with the chore. There is a new Fototripper video to watch! Woohoo!

[@ritamoll4347]

Nice to see the lucky three 😍

[@Tofushoots]

"Face like a perplexed ostrich" made me laugh way too much.

[@craigmantle5362]

I think this is one of my favorite videos that you have done but it really made me miss the island! Thanks for the laughs and the hit of inspiration Gavin!

[@dave.abernathey]

My offer still stands Gavin. I will pay for your parking ticket for one signed copy of "chasing awe" . You're channel is my favorite for photography. Always enjoyable as always.

[@stephenjuk8910]

I am a little behind on recent videos, but thought I'd play this one before going out for sunset. You know, for inspiration.

[@ki6ada2005]

Just finished watching your video. I recently starting watching a few other too. You and Adam make a great team..Thank you for sharing your technique. Take care. Steve.

[@baz5150]

I want to see Amanda's vlog of you doing your vlogging and hear her take on it all, now THAT would be a good one!

[@johncarlan]

I second this!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Gnarly foggy trees, did someone say GNARLY FOGGY TREES! Nice work man, wish I was up there exploring with yall!

[@fototripper]

Makes two of us mate.

[@stevemarson9665]

Best images for a while Gavin, fantastic light and location. Cracking video as well ..... 🙂

[@LowLightMike]

This is a good time to comment with thanks for your own wonderful music that you include with your videos. Case in point, the lovely melody at the 8:50 mark, as you show us the trees-in-fog photograph. Thanks for all of your skills.

[@tomminton3241]

Is “perplexed ostrich” the best one yet?!? 😂 would love to see a cut of all Gavin’s faces

[@baas3652]

Those misty forest images was just amazing! Well done :)

[@dragonmediaxl]

Casual Eagle name drop, all i managed this week was a blurry image of two house martins doing the do, That first shot was super nice, You def have your full mojo back,, another great video

[@andrewherbert9938]

One of your best I think , really enjoyed seeing you back with Uncle Grumpy , absolute classic when you asked which bit of your book he liked the most . Oh and yes using Photoshop to replace a sky is cheating , it’s just not cricket you know

[@stephentopiaphoto]

That foggy overlook near the end looks a lot like our visit to Banff and Glacier National Park.

[@andyblessett1282]

That was a Killa Rippa Adam 😂😂

[@ian-robinson]

Some fabtabulistic images captured there.

[@willnotbetracked8222]

Why not get Uncle Grump to photograph your wedding for your next project?🙂 Greg could do the video, Shainblum and Nick could be Page boys and Tom could be chief bridesmaid........should be hilarious....🤭🤣

[@timjones4594]

The ticket after the fogged out view,.. most un fan tass teekwa. Adam not getting a ticket did give me a chuckle.

[@SueFerreira75]

You guys are wonderful photographers and teachers - Magical - Thanks. Time to go to Tofino again.

[@RoseKerin]

Thanks Guys. Such a cool video. It's nice to also have a laugh just before bedtime. Hope my Fog shooting works out!

[@TheLadyteesha]

YESSSSSS. Been waiting for a video since the last one 😁

[@SimonLewis_photography]

Watching you two in the woods is almost like watching Gandalf and Frodo wandering through Middle Earth lol. Another fantastic video and gutted you had a bit too much fog and that ticket on your last day.

[@carlosm9323]

Spectacular views, pictures, and videos, awesome work guys, big fan here.

[@Eltargrimm]

Since you asked: I still can't bring myself to replace skies. I think it reinforces the idea that "this is what a good photo should look like" and that's what's rubbing me the wrong way. I'm not claiming that my line of reasoning makes perfect sense, just to be clear.

[@mgman6000]

Good video as usual I dont mind replacing a sky IF it makes the shot better and it's a sky that I took

[@jsimes1]

I wouldn't mind replacing the sky as long as the new sky was a shot I took. Ideally at the same location with better conditions.

[@jamiedonnelly1108]

Well worth a 3 time climb! Throughly enjoyed that mate! Great video! Hope you are all well!

[@creatorsjourney6286]

Gavin, wow, 6:05 did it for me. I’ve been looking for a shot like that for myself. A very inspirational shot for me.... I got this nice warm feeling watching it. Thank you for doing what you do. Oh man, I really enjoyed every single photo with a slap of good humor. I think I love you man! Lol

[@sierragold]

Love the sharts....

[@teffswilduns4453]

Another epic mission foiled by the weather. On a positive note, I've just purchased a steak and kidney Fray Bentos....boom! Take it easy guys😉

[@fototripper]

ugh... kidney

[@brianmckeever5280]

Fun! I love the long format videos. It's funny, while watching last week's video I was cropping off a shot with my fingers I didn't see you try. On this video, you took the composition of the islands which was so close to my finger crop I had to smile. I love your shot of the multi-layers, outstanding. I have an 800mm equiv. I would have loved to point in that direction with that light. As for the sky replacement, I think it works and isn't cheating any more than dodging and burning the subdued way you did it. A bright blue sky without clouds is distracting, so dropping in a few clouds to make the viewer focus on the composition seems fair. Oh, yeah, maybe I've seen one too many "Top Gear" episodes, but any time you need $1K to blow up a caravan, let me know. Good content, thanks!

[@fototripper]

$1k well spent. Plus $2k shipping.

[@greggorter]

entertaining, enlightening & awesome images. Great work Gav !

[@jameshanna9320]

Dear 'Mec' you are top well done and the humour is good too !

[@PeterLariviere1]

The fog image at 8:50 was spectacular..I would be willing to preorder your next book if you said that image would be in the book!!!

[@fototripper]

It will be in the book. Keep your eyes peeled for a mega print sale next month, maybe I'll add that one to the gallery ;)

[@jsimes1]

Ahh the $200 parking ticket we heard so much about in the podcast from last week! 😁 I assume Amanda was in the camper snoring like a buzzsaw ... maybe that was why they assumed you slept there all night! 😴 But it was totally worth it.

[@jaburchfield7194]

Fantastique intertainmentry!!

[@599miata]

Too bad for you for the ticket, Gavin. Great location for photographing. 👌👌

[@brianbeattyphotography]

what a stunning viewpoint

[@melaniechambers8946]

"Face like an undercooked FrayBentos Pie" ....I'm dying here.......I do love your video's learned a few things too, can't wait for me book to arrive.

[@fototripper]

Steak and Ale too.

[@melaniechambers8946]

@@fototripper Has to be Steak & Ale!

[@BryanDorr]

That last day "Chasing Fog" and the $200 sh*t ticket stuck to your windshield.

[@ericcoulter95]

Love your videos and pictures great work

[@MisterMakerNL]

oof that ticket! But that first shot was just amazing!

[@SteveP_2426]

Are you trying to copy the Grand Old Duke of York? Those Canadian parking attendants must have been trained in London!! Loved those early shots of the bay...epic.

[@wildzenventures]

Definitely some beautiful scenery! You have a great sense of humor, (stupid o'clock 😂) Thanks for sharing... Cheers

[@zadokwest]

Wonderful image, Awesome

[@southdevonwebdesign938]

I don’t know how you guys manage to get up so early 7:00am is middle of the night for me. Though I managed to get out in the bluebells last week at 5:30am. A major accomplishment for me. Any way another entertaining video

[@lizcoakley4730]

Always Love your Photography.❤️😊

[@tompetersphotography]

Great vlog buddy, shame about the fog in the end but, least you got something for your efforts! Them first shots were amazing

[@JamesStonley]

wowsers that shot @6:23

[@nunocarneiro464]

That place is gorgeous, killer shots That was a kidnap /murder van that now has uncle gramps fingerprints all over it 🤣

[@AnthonyCrouchPhotography]

LOL

[@markattardo]

A book reading with soft flute/recorder music in the background might be interesting. Sadly, that parking ticket probably killed the promotional expense budget. Guess we'll have to settle for a reading with toot music🤣

[@StachR34]

A face like a Fray bentos Pie!! ROFL! How bout a face like a wrinkled foot after its been in the water too long hehe! J/K! love your comedic jests Gav! ;)
