Thanks to Gavin and Amanda for an incredible workshop experience, lots of laughs and amazing memories. If you haven’t booked a workshop with him, what are you waiting for? Just read the fine print (and don’t let him near your camera) 😂
As a Pentaxian, you're used to getting a constant flow of it, but from Gavin, who gives everyone and everything their irreverent deadpan due, it's even funny. Which is likely why Jason plays along with it, while of course knowing that a K-70 paired with a capable standard zoom is actually about as good as landscape rigs get in APS-C. Add a nice telezoom from the DA or DFA lineup for grabbing detail, and you're set for some really nice shots out and about.
That was hugely entertaining. I think you should pay your students a fee for acting along! Jason was amazing. I love my Pentaxes, got 7 film and one digital. But I just bought an old Sony alpha 350 for the CCD sensor. And it has a flippy display.
Absolutely brilliant & hats off to Jason for playing along. Anyone who can mention Fisher Price, Tonka Toys & Tampax in a landscape photography vlog gets my full respect 😂😂😂
I am happy to let you know I received my copy of Chasing Awe. I was surprised it was not delivered by Thomas Heaton as I believe he is trying to make some extra money to pay for his van modifications. I'm sure your book will provide us many years of joy propping up the wobbly leg of our dining room table. Very much appreciated. 😉
One of the funniest episodes yet, but glad you dropped the K200 stunt double though. I think you're spot on with your comments re articulating screens, I like the image quality of my Sony A7R II (at least when poor composition means a tight crop works better) but struggle with low vertical shots on the A7R II with just its tilt screen. As someone who really only shoots landscapes and mainly on manual anyway, my conclusion is that in most situation my K70 is just a better tool and one of the reasons is the articulating screen (I know its not uniquely Pentax)
Shout out to my homeboy Jason from a fellow Knoxvillian. I always wanted a Pentax 67. But, I settled for a Hasselblad. The last time I was in Canada, a rather rude bartender asked where I was from. I said, Knoxville, TN. He said, "Never heard of it". I said, "That's ok. They've never heard of you, either." 😛
Really enjoyed this! Jason was great! I think he should be a regular shooter on the channel:) - funnily enough I’ve been looking at the Pentax K1 mk ii
All brands have their different strengths and weaknesses; although I now use Canon and Olympus mirrorless my Pentax system provided the best opportunities for creative photography. Never mind the flippy screen do any of the other oh-so-clever brands have inbuilt technology to compensate for the earth's rotation and so extend the exposure time of the night sky for sharp and detailed star shots? How many multiple shots can they combine - 10 or 12? the Pentax K1 can blend up to 2000 which can also be programmed for time-lapse (in pouring rain if necessary). These are just two examples where Pentax is and always has been designed for creative photographers rather than targeting "content creators".
Hilarious video! I love that you all just get out in nature and not only enjoy what you see, but you get great shots, fun memories, and tell entertaining stories, whether it's a touristy spot or less known. It inspires me to get out more with my camera and do the same. You also gave some great tips on taking photos. I know these videos take a lot to put together so thanks a million!
This was hilarious. Please tell me you didn't really ruin his camera. I almost cried seeing the look on his face. I'm sure you know that the Pentax K1000 was one of the most popular 35mm film cameras back in the day. We still have ours. Seems like Pentax got a little left behind in the digital camera arena. That articulating screen is cool. I've got news for you. Sony does have that articulating screen technology. They put them on their Handycam video cameras. I have one of those too. You would think the Handycam division would walk over to the camera division and say, put this screen on your cameras 😁 Thanks for another great video. I save yours for last so I can have a smile on my face. By the way, the sunset over the ocean looked pretty spectacular.
:) i'm really happy to have a guy with pentax! i had a Pentax 10Kd before, now a Pentax K5ii, they are really good! And if i saw i saw it right, Jason has a Cokin filter system too!
My second camera is a Pentax K5. I still hold that seeing the picture in your mind's eye and knowing how to get that picture "manually" is the key.... twice the camera half the money. PS. Most modern Pentax Bodies and Lenes are weather sealed. ;)
Cool little private spot at the end! I love the root system taking over the bank. I'm always a sucker for those gnarly bits. The Island has SO many hidden gems just waiting to be found!
There's a few of us that have Pentax . . . . I quite enjoyed using mine. I dreaded the day it died. It's now a good second for the kids to learn on. Oh the laughter you two must have had trying to do some of those moments. Great places for some photography though.
Superb. Normally I write some long convoluted reason as to why these vids are genius… … whether it be a phrase, gag, or simply the Hardcastle’s awesome photography… but no… just superb.
Jason's comeback about antiques and fototripper workshops was spot on. Do we get to see him knock your old A7R3 into a lake next week? BTW, Amanda's teeshirt at 10:43 is grotesque: 😱 has she been at another horror movie convention? 👹🧛🦇
Besides being my favorite photography channel, Gavin knew how to turn Amanda and himself and knows how to turn all of his guests into professional actors. Generally, this channel is by far better entertainment as big Hollywood blockbusters.
workshop includes free bag of basmati rice🤣those expressions, soo funny! fisher price/martel/tampax etc 🤣🤣 top drawer photography. ah needed that. thank you!! ❤❤
Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you try to shoot also directly into the sunset to create something minimal, perfectly symmetrical with the colourful clouds reflected in the sea?
Ha Ha Ha… that was awesome. Super funny and entertaining as usual. Jason was a great companion! Ah, well, of course he was. He had to be. He is a Tonka user. Just like me 😎. Tonka users are great peeps 😋
Have to be honest Gavin, Pentaxamus Maximus is a lot better that your Unicorn Spoonicorn thing. 😂 Love how he through your book away 😂 Brilliant out takes and fab vid.
I was a Pentaxian long ago. My first SLR was Pentax H1a back in 1977. Since then I have owned Spotmatic F (first with a lightmeter in the camera), K1000 (absolute workhorse and indestructible), ME Super, ZX30, K10, K20D, K5iis. Unfortunately, Pentax was kind of late to the Digital scene, and they started scalling back on all their lens selection. This would not have been a issue if I only shot Lanscapes, which is not very equipment demanding. But I shoot Macro, Wildlife, and Architectural as well. So I needed lots of lenses. In 2015 I made the very painful decision to give-up on Pentax and go with Canon. One of the major reasons, in addition to lens selection, was that a flippy screen is incredibly useful for Macro and Architecture, and Pentax still did not have one. I still miss my old Pentax. I still have all of them and they all still work perfectly.
Seems like the K1 (if it wasn't for the lens issue you mentioned as I don't know if they have fixed that) fills your requirements again... albeit very very late.
Timex, Hasbro, Fisher-Price, Mattel, Tonka, Pentaximus Maximus … how hilarious is that 😂 … and you should pay your students for being the protagonist in your videos. Cheers …
The best video ever and that's because it had a Pentax in it, you have to be a brave man putting a Pentax camera in the river with all the Pentaxian's watching this one 😂😂😂
What's up Gavin? I guess my little Nikon D3300 is not worth talking about. Dude you're a cold piece of work. Actually that's pretty funny stuff. I have seen other video comparisons you've done showing that it comes down to the photographer. If this guy stay within the range of his camera he'll be just fine. Some of these skits are really funny. Take it easy man. Peace!
I was there in 2009 in June.. It rained so much I had a foot of water piled up against the back of my tent, but there was one clear hot day, and I went up to the skyline trail just in time for the cloud bank to come in and wash over it. It was a bit scary, but even though I was a newbie at the time I got some pretty memorable shots of the bank washing in over the shore.
Canons also have a flippy screen on some models but mine connects to my phone so I can use my phone screen without needing to flip the camera screen. Does Sony not have that ability?
Sony has the a7r5. So not sure what the complaint is here. It also has focus stacking and some other features you’d probably enjoy not available on the A1. I’ve got both and for your style you should be using the a7r5. On the other hand if I had the Hasselblad I’d probably use that for all my landscape work, flippy screen or not.
Haha 😂😂😂 brilliant video as per usual Gavin, I hope the Tampax didnt soak up to much water 🫣😂 I love the banter with you and the other guys in your videos 👍 it raises your videos up amongst the ranks of lesser photographers like that Thomas Heater guy 😅 😂. As regarding flippy screens .... Canon have been doing them for years ..... Perhaps you could borrow Simon's R5 😂😂😂
I have to say that when you say you are in Nova Scotia you are correct. However if you are living in Cape Breton you are a Cape Breton-er! They are island people and not mainlanders. Having lived there for three summers I found out these islanders don't like being a Nova Scotia-er really love this place you end up being an islander. Fun time with this video.
Have a K70 and works great. The camera you pulled from the water was not a K70. They still make the K70. My main camera is an Olympus EM-1 II use it for wildlife.
Planned months in advance to go there last fall for the leaves changing.. Hurricane removed all the leaves the week before.. Did have better luck in other areas of NS & NB though at least.
Thanks to Gavin and Amanda for an incredible workshop experience, lots of laughs and amazing memories. If you haven’t booked a workshop with him, what are you waiting for? Just read the fine print (and don’t let him near your camera) 😂
Point taken!
And the camera survived due to the free bag of basmati (free bag not included).
Thomas would have given you a refund plus a free trip 😂
@@RogerJones-mountfield Or at least a free tip.
Your photo was actually very refreshing to the eye❤ well done Jason✊🏼🙄
It's impressive to see the three remaining Pentax users commenting on this video.
Come again?
What is this “Pentax”?
Tbh… Pentax makes fabulous cameras… I’m good with my Fuji GFX and X-trans cameras, but Pentax are nice too…
Get the K-1 or K-3 though!
An older gentleman in my camera club uses a pentax
Don’t be silly.

Oh, knocking the camera into the river and the outtakes was worth the price of admission... well done Gavin! Too funny!
😂 Pentax DSLR 😢!!! 😂 Was one of my favorite video!!! You should do more old DSLR cameras video with Jason 😂!!!
I don’t even consider myself a amateur photographer but I am learning so much from you! So happy I found your site!
That was hugely entertaining. I think you should pay your students a fee for acting along! Jason was amazing. I love my Pentaxes, got 7 film and one digital. But I just bought an old Sony alpha 350 for the CCD sensor. And it has a flippy display.

Way to go Jason, a fellow pentaxian 📷📷
Loved the bubbles coming from the camera under water Gav!
So tragic
Can't tell you how excited I was to hear he shoots with Pentax!😊
I have a friend with a Pentax K3 III... and it's an amazing camera! I want one. Maybe you should rent a K1 to improve your photography.
Tears are flowing! Class shots and scenery!
I am happy to let you know I received my copy of Chasing Awe.

Love the humor, Lol. You’ve become my favourite landscape channel!
Can’t get enough of the best laughs ever! Thanks for sharing 😂

Love the nature of your photography where you always make it fun & funny.
Fun video. Wife’s shirt in the camper of your face in hearts was awesome.

I've just had a hernia operation and I'm laughing my arse off whilst trying to not burst my stitches 🤣🤣🤣 AAARRGGHH, ouch, ouch.
Another belting video Gavin. I think your composition skills are second to none mate. Bit clumsy with clients kit though 😂
Fantastic video! The outtakes at the end are pure gold! 🤣
Looks like a good laugh was had by all!
Love the Outtakes guys great video as always.
:) i'm really happy to have a guy with pentax! i had a Pentax 10Kd before, now a Pentax K5ii, they are really good! And if i saw i saw it right, Jason has a Cokin filter system too!
I love the humour and the beautiful photos.
Laughing so hard that my wife asks me to go watch this video outside…
My second camera is a Pentax K5. I still hold that seeing the picture in your mind's eye and knowing how to get that picture "manually" is the key.... twice the camera half the money. PS. Most modern Pentax Bodies and Lenes are weather sealed. ;)
I heard these old tempax cameras could absorb the moisture from such accidents
What a hoot, thanks to you and Jason for that. I'm tempted to bring my own toy camera along for a workshop with you.
Can't wait for this year's blooper real!!
Cool little private spot at the end! I love the root system taking over the bank. I'm always a sucker for those gnarly bits. The Island has SO many hidden gems just waiting to be found!

Superb. Normally I write some long convoluted reason as to why these vids are genius…
… whether it be a phrase, gag, or simply the Hardcastle’s awesome photography… but no… just superb.
I'm starting to enjoy the outtakes more than the vid!
Just hilarious! Eating my lunch at McD and the other guests starting to get really annoyed with my giggles! 😂😂😂
I’m sorry, Jason, but I laughed till I cried! The bubbles floating up were a nice touch. Revenge must have been sweet.
Hi Fototripper. I also use Pentax. If I win the lottery, I'll book you for a year and we'll make a race. Pentax vs Sony or whatever. 😂😂😂
Nice video as a Penrax user as well, it would still work.
Like your winter shot of that river a lot.
I was waiting for the statement no Pentax were injured in the making of this video. lol
Terrific video. I like you teaching☺☺😁😁
I was born and raised in Knoxville! You should go visit him in the Great Smoky Mountains just up the road for your next trip
True pentaxians of the K70 clam use weather sealed lenses.
Love the video..
Omg I laughed out loud about smacking the camera into the water! 😆 and other things 😆
Jason's comeback about antiques and fototripper workshops was spot on. Do we get to see him knock your old A7R3 into a lake next week? BTW, Amanda's teeshirt at 10:43 is grotesque: 😱 has she been at another horror movie convention? 👹🧛🦇

workshop includes free bag of basmati rice🤣those expressions, soo funny! fisher price/martel/tampax etc 🤣🤣 top drawer photography. ah needed that. thank you!! ❤❤
I always look forward to your laphideos please keep them coming. have a great week Gavin.
Hey Jason, I grew up in East TN about 20 miles east of Knoxville. "Got it at the thrift store..." Classic! Great video Gavin.
I'm actually wanting to buy a Pentax K1 myself.
Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you try to shoot also directly into the sunset to create something minimal, perfectly symmetrical with the colourful clouds reflected in the sea?
I'm not sure what's funnier, the video itself or the comments from people who don't understand humour. Excellent as always Gavin!
Ha Ha Ha… that was awesome. Super funny and entertaining as usual. Jason was a great companion! Ah, well, of course he was. He had to be. He is a Tonka user. Just like me 😎. Tonka users are great peeps 😋
17:08 i actually like this composition, it makes the "tree" more prominent
Have to be honest Gavin, Pentaxamus Maximus is a lot better that your Unicorn Spoonicorn thing. 😂 Love how he through your book away 😂 Brilliant out takes and fab vid.
Your videos are always a treat to watch, very funny and you take great shots too. Love the new sensor clean method :-)
I think Jason nailed all the location shots with his amazing articulating screen.

"all the" - you meant "both" :)
@@benruset 3 actually. I was also watching. Loved it! 😅
4 to be honest - and yes, it was funny@@oliverdecker1930
After the camera was dropped in there in the outtakes and he was trying SOOOO hard not to crack up. Man, that had me going.
What's up Gavin? I guess my little Nikon D3300 is not worth talking about. Dude you're a cold piece of work. Actually that's pretty funny stuff.

Tonka ... I'm not old enough to remember those, none of the TV commercials with the elephant walking on top of the digger memories here my friend 🤪
Great video! and I must be a very unusual Pentaxian as I have three and can still take the joke....
Hey Gav Love The Video Laughed My Head Off Good Work Mate.
🥰 what a beautiful countryside. - The 7R5 can do both, all Fuji X-T3/Z9 tilts and the Canon/Pentax/Olympus flips 😊
Loved this video. Made my day. Thank-you for that .👍

Looks like it was a fun video to make and you two were great together! Love the bloopers at the end!
I think I always tune in for the comedic value over any photography!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like Amanda's T-shirt @10:43, thank you for the multiple lol's and for sharing those beautiful images with us!

Always get an instant like when a new vid is uploaded. ❤
This video takes me back to the good ole days of 35mm film cameras, when the Pentax K1000 ruled the roost 🐓 👍😎
Haha 😂😂😂 brilliant video as per usual Gavin, I hope the Tampax didnt soak up to much water 🫣😂
I love the banter with you and the other guys in your videos 👍 it raises your videos up amongst the ranks of lesser photographers like that Thomas Heater guy 😅 😂.
As regarding flippy screens .... Canon have been doing them for years ..... Perhaps you could borrow Simon's R5 😂😂😂
Maybe you could crop the picture at 21:00 to 16x9 to get rid of some of the foreground. That's a tip I got form Quiet Light.
Great video & outtakes, by the way, my Canon 760D has a flippy out screen too, the way forward 😁
It doesn’t get any better than this!❤
Love your videos. Could you do a section on what you use to mount your camera on a tripod please.
When that camera went in I nearly peed 😂 classic fototripper
Loved it. It makes me want to sign up for one.
In the end of this an important question, did the camera survived?
I have to say that when you say you are in Nova Scotia you are correct. However if you are living in Cape Breton you are a Cape Breton-er! They are island people and not mainlanders. Having lived there for three summers I found out these islanders don't like being a Nova Scotia-er really love this place you end up being an islander. Fun time with this video.

K200 took a dive ....
Planned months in advance to go there last fall for the leaves changing.. Hurricane removed all the leaves the week before.. Did have better luck in other areas of NS & NB though at least.
Every week is a laugh for the ages.
My Olympus Pen-f has the same flippy screen.
The Pentax K1 is the one you should ditch Sony for
Some how I am feeling attacked!! K70!! Jason should upgrade to the K1MkII for real.. Hmm feels like a set up, one of your Adam Gibbs skits!!
I had a Pentax one upon a time had to load it with that old film stuff!
Very funny Gav. Loved it.
Ohhh that one hurt! Hopefully that was a gag. 😂 But wow!
Loving those river scenes 😊
Omg, the blooper killed me 😂
The A7RV has the flippy screen Gavin.
