Well I’m not sure where to start. There’s so much I could say about this trip!! But you know there’s always a silver lining….Amanda was there so I didn’t have to spend all my time with Gavin!!! Seriously, I must say Gavin makes photography fun and educational. We were together for 3 days and I think my face ached at the end from laughter. I can’t recommend a private session with Gavin enough. I certainly came away from our short time together with new tricks and techniques in my tool bag. After all that bag has slightly less chocolate in it. I can’t wait for our next time together. Thanks Gavin!!!

[@fototripper]

Thanks Chris. There's a link...in this sentence www.fototripper.com/store/private-photography-tuition/

The bathroom scene triggered some fond memories of our intimate times together.

‘Fondle’ memories? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!

What a good sport your client was! So funny as always, fab photos as well

[@davidhuth5659]

The student becomes the master. Well done Chris! You too Gavin, and thanks for another entertaining video!

[@andrewroland]

Very, very amusing Gav. Cheers for that, you’re the only photographer my wife likes watching.

[@phynx2006]

Love the addition to your repertoire "Chasing Fog" goes great with Chasing Awe and Light and the best chase of all Chasing Amanda 👍😍

[@MrTwister3356]

Great video and stills as always, Gavin. I always enjoy the madcap hi-jinx!!..FYI I share your affection for that perfect, snotless fried egg. The key to this, which was handed down to me by my forefathers, is a lid on the frying pan so the heat is reflected downwards onto the yolk.... preferably glass so you can see the frying progression. Once that nice white skin is formed over the yolk, the lid is removed and the pan is shaken quickly but not too vigorously making sure the yolk doesn't over-jiggle. If it does, then it's not quite ready so the lid is replaced and the egg is given a few more seconds for that perfect sunny core. It's important to remain vigilant however as 10 seconds over the line makes for that stiff 'hard-boiled' yolk consistency. Anyway, looking forward to the next video for that great shot you speak of.....cheers!!

Or you can just flip some hot oil over the top with the spatula like the pro's do in Waffle House.

Chris has a good eye and good humor to match. He could become East Coast Grumpy, given the chance.

He's already purchased a GrumpWaggon so it's begun.

Stuff like that tree being carved into makes me so frustrated. We have a beautiful state park near where I live where people are always carving their names into rocks. I can’t stand it.

These were some great images, and I am impressed. The choice of music for this video also was top shelf.

[@PropDusting]

Damn Chris got some good shots! He was a good compliment to your humor! Great video!

The question I ask myself is not why do people carve their names into trees but who brings a knife on a date?

I agree reason why I normally have a gun with me instead. LOL

Great photography, Chris, oh and Gavin of course, lol! First potty humour I have seen since the move east, priceless ...it does make me miss Uncle Grumpy, though. I'm hoping to see more of Chris, who is obviously a great addition to your fabulous videos!

[@Brock_in_the_North]

I miss the blooper reel :) thanks for bringing it back. I swear I saw uncle in those woods too.....need to get the chuckle brothers back together :)

[@torstenwennberg4845]

Great humor and great shots! I love the mix. Chris reminds me of Brent and should be paid the co-star salary 😆

Oh gosh, this was fantastic! Love Chris' waterfall shot, was beautiful. Can't wait for the next video.

Nice shots Chris! Also nice job keeping up the comedy, you fit right in.

[@LarryFasnacht]

I really like that panel that Chris shot. I especially enjoyed that light coming in from the side on the trees. I think that was done really really well. You must be a good teacher.

[@TheMoodChasingPhotographer]

Loved the reflexion shot well worth the wait

[@chrismulvaneyphoto]

Not gonna lie, Chris makes this film what it is. The better photos, the darker beard. The man has it all. 😉

[@richardpesce5325]

Well another great episode Gavin! Have you been picked up a a streaming service yet? I think you could become the Monty Python of photography! Beautiful images!!!!

One of the funniest yet, Chris is a great sport. Cadbury, if you’re watching, get in touch.

[@westvirginianlivin9871]

Ha Ha Ha GET IN THE BATHROOM! I only snorted my coffee once, i swear. Those sun beam photos came out amazing.

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

My grandfather told me when I was a young child about carving initials into trees or writing on restroom walls: "fool's names and monkey faces are always seen in public places". That took away any desire I might have ever had for that foolishness. I like that fleece jacket you are wearing in the second part of this video. And BTW, you guest had a couple of really good compositions. I especially liked his shot of the tree on stilts. And to give the devil its due, your shots were OK, too. 😁 And Amanda looked particularly attractive in her cameo role. Amanda always looks attractive. 😇

[@fototripper]

She does.

[@denisesavage2382]

Chris is such a good sport! And a great photographer too. Loved the images he shared. And yours too Gavin. They're alright . . . .I had a good laugh between the three of you.

[@davidstevensasidewayslook8831]

Munching on a chocolate bar (Sainsbury's Double Take) sitting here in my Man Cave (with ELO ramping out in the background) your lusting after British chocolate reminded me of when I was a little lad and my Mum's sister (who had married a Canadian soldier post WW2 and moved to Toronto) who used to send us a box of Canadian Chocolates every Christmas, despite us here in the UK still being on sweet rationing these chocolates were so disgusting its was like eating brown Stork margarine, they were so bad they ended up being consigned to the bin every New Year. This scenario went on for the best part of fifteen years! My Mum was too polite to say STOP sending us those awful chocolates……….

I liked his panorama at the knotted tree and his sunbeams at the end of the shoot. You did get a nice sun star in that last shot, but the sunbeams were better in his. I know you couldn't, wouldn't possibly be competitive with a client... perish the though! 🤣😂 You should come out with a brand of hip waders called "foggy bottoms", "it's not clear until it's too close for comfort".
