Watching this old video is like watching an old WWE match. You knew it was fixed then, and you know it's fixed now, yet it's still entertaining. Fun fact: so-called Spanish moss is an epiphyte. Not a moss at all, but a flowering plant that's lost its roots and relies on the the tree to give it a roost and the rain and atmospheric moisture for water.
Gavin, your ability to teach, and make it comedic at the same time puts you in a class of your own!! Thanks for all the work you put into these and never mind those trolls. They are the same ones who think Fleetwood Mac is another burger at McDonalds. Keep up the good work and look forward to your content in 2020!
I came for the landscape photography and stayed for the comedy. I've watched about 3 or 4 of your vids now and this is the best one yet. It's good to see photography shown in a light hearted way but still with quality content.
I love Amanda, she reminds me so much of my wife. Funny after watching a few episodes of you together I came to the conclusion that you are indeed married, believe me at 67 and married over 40+ years I can tell when two people really care about each other. But I do love the "act" it totally brightens up my day.
Brilliant! Inspiring and so so funny. Well done both of you, great work and talent. Oops... I nearly forgot to mention the photography - Breath taking!
As a fellow Vancouver Island resident, thank you for showing me these places that I don't need a plane ticket to go to :D If only it stopped raining...
Hmmm. the man who goes hiking in flipflops is saying the woman in shorts and ballet shoes is dressed inappropriately for a shoot!!...anyone else see the irony here?? Cracked me up...well done you two I'm amazed there were not more out-takes/bloopers :-)
Great video Gavin. Really funny!! As a thank you for making all of us laugh so much this past year and all your hard work bringing us all those great videos, I’ve decided to send you a gift. Something you don’t get in Canada, but something that’s everywhere over here. A parcel filled to the brim of Cadbury’s Twirls. Just send me the coordinates and they will be winging their way across the Atlantic very soon. All free. You could even give Adam a bar if you like. It can’t be easy carrying 2 cameras and 2 tripods, filming your great skits with Adam and Co as well as trying to get great images. Have a great Christmas and we will all look forward to many more great videos in 2020.
I wish I could give you a million thumbs ups. I really enjoy the way you describe your shots. You pull me into the photo and it makes me feel as if I was there. I hope in the future that you put out a photo book with your descriptions and writing to accompany your photography. I would buy that in a heart beat! If you ever decide to do that, I would love to help design it with you. Cheers!
Thanks Curtis. I'm currently working on the idea but the pricing seems like a dead end. The cost of printing anywhere in North America is often more then people are willing to pay, let alone adding a profit margin and then shipping.
Another great video Gavin, I'm enjoying going through the archive. I have a question about that waterfall shot - 1.4" at 2.8 for motion blur and 5" at f8 for sharpness... why wouldn't the 5" f8 be enough for motion blur, since it's a longer shutter speed? I'm a newbie with landscape. If you cover this question in your courses I'm happy to go there. Thanks.
I really love the humor you put on all of your videos. I have watched several and you are an amazing photographer, thank you so much for all the wonderful info and all those tips on how to do better composition and great photos.. Next you in Las Vegas I will take you to photograph the oldest tree 🌲 in Nevada..
Great video, really enjoy watching & learning the how to’s. Still not sure about blending different photo exposures. I noticed one thing on the top of the tree stomp you were photographing. Did u know it’s called “Resurrection Fern” since if it doesn’t get rain is Shrivels up but when it gets wet again it comes back to life
I love a woman on a mission to get what she wants.... great photos, that is. Love seeing Amanda back looking to improve her skills. Love you images Gavin and giving a shout out to your blessed little trolls.
Sure this is the first I’ve seen of this guy..... this cracked me up and I’m now a subscriber. On top of which there’s also the stunning images, bonus. 🙂
One of a kind vids, Gavin! Looks to me that you will have no problem keeping the horizon straight... On a photographic note, it would be great the next time you and your peers get together to put a vid together on where you think photography is going in the next decade.
OMG! When I heard Bene Gesserit witch voice, I spewed my Cheerios all over my screen. I’ll be sending you a bill for the cleaning service! Nice image blends.
The stump is brilliant and beautiful, but my focus goes way beyond. At the stumps 9 o'clock in behind the limbs and brush is an object of some sort. I thought at first is was a car. After I spotted the only time I admired the stump is when he called my attention back to it. I always enjoy your videos.
"Look at my pants", paaaaahhh ha ha! Brilliant. You can help me with my photoshop skills...... Bunny boiler right there!. Theme starting to develop here, Gavin! Fabulous video :)
Lucky bugger to share the bed with that 3 legged hunk of a tripod. And congratulations on the MOST JUICY PHOTOGRAPHER 2019! Serious note fantastic images as usual! 😀
Gavin! Great to see ya back 👍🏼 Nice tip of the cap to all those top notch photographers out there who critique the photos you share with us. Great to see they really help you advance your work, haha... those f#*kers 😂. Social media really emboldens people who would otherwise keep their mouths shut I suppose... when really, they should just keep their opinions to themselves. Glad you don’t take it to heart, and even happier you point it out! Makes for some hardy chuckles during your vlogs.
Well Gavin, I really think you should consider making Amanda a permanent resident on your channel, she adds a great deal to the content. 50K viewers here you come! Well done the two of you! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome shots, just so beautiful. Will download for my backgrounds BTW my stalker asked God for a date with me in 1974. 3yrs later dated, 5yrs later married. 38yrs later still married. Give up, you cards been marked.
Best advice of how to make a living from nature photography ever: Sell your time and knowledge and presence to other people. With high risks to own physical and mental health - being turned into an object of pleasure (which is an easy to understand risk for Gavin, being the hottie that he is). Film everything - in hope that in the worst-case scenario someone will find the memory card years later and understand what may have happened and maybe even locate the body. And if one manages to do survive - of course one put the video up and monetize it on youtube. Thus making up to several dollars while earning the right to call oneself a truly professional photographer - helped with fine images of course. This is obviously why most of us define ourselves as amateurs. The risks involved in being a profession call-boy...(no I meant photographic mentor - I am as poor at editing text that I am at editing photos) is simply a risk few is brave enough to take upon themselves. And not just all that. These brave professionals upload their images for us all to point out what catastrophic failures they are. Openly receiving further scars on their souls. No wonder that over years, nature photographers grow more and more reclusive. Wandering around in woods, up hills and along coastlines while wearing hats with "grumpy" written in large unfriendly letters on it. Some, in fact, find shelter in a camouflage tent so well blended into the background that even wildlife becomes unaware of their existence. People do not really appreciate enough the sacrifices these few brave professionals make. (Did I tell that I did get inspired by a previous video from Gavin - trying to overlay the spray and water-drops from a short exposure on top of a long exposure? It would have looked better if I printed out both images on a fax-machine, cut out the details from the short exposure that I wanted and taped those parts on top of the long-exposure print with almost (but not completely) transparent tape. Had Gavin or anyone else seen it, he would instantly have asked his friend for a hat and walked into the distance while pondering what better and more rewarding job he could get to earn up to many dollars a day. (Keeping the balls in an IKEA kid's ball-binge neatly sorted by colour without interrupting the children would probably be more rewarding and successful). This, I hope, illustrates how much I admire true professionals and their struggles. I promise to never attend a workshop again. I simply do not want to expose Gavin to having to unzip his sleeping bag and comfort a middle-aged Scandinavian man for feeling sad about the lack of any artistic quality in my images (things I know true professional nature photographers are obliged to do to comfort failed amateurs in return for up to several dollars a day - until they of course simply wander into the distance and becomes part of the myth of the Sasquatch - footprints in snow being the only proof of their reclusive existence). So here I am feeling slightly inspired. Promising to not apply for any workshop (also due to being slightly worried where my body would be found if that stalker see me in Gavin's sleeping bag for a much-needed pep-talk and comfort), while I head over to watch that blending tutorial. It will not do much help for the third chapter of the autobiography I will write called "My journey to one good photography: a lesson of failing to scale a steep infinite icy slope wearing very slippery pub-shoes", but I will keep marching on with absolutely no progress. Thank you for the inspiration and the joys of watching the struggles of a true professional.
Now, you see, because I'm not actually a Landscape Photographer per-se, I'd take the shot in an entirely different way, and probably just see how many different close-up shots I could take of parts of the tree stump. Don't get me wrong, I love the background as well, and it's just as important, but that tree stump is amazing! Oh and I'd just like to echo that I'm glad I'm not the only one who sleeps with his camera! LOL
I will be the one person of your 31,200 subscribers to note that Little Qualicum Falls is before Cathedral Grove, on your way to Ucluelet. But that's ok. I also had fun figuring out the Long Lake location of the opening phone-call scene. ...and maybe I was also the only one of your 31,200 subscribers who was anticipating Uncle Grumpy joining the hotel bedroom scene.
Very nice mate, I love ready my shitty messages just for a bit of fun lol but I would expect you get far more! With your sub count I mean lol! Am I digging a whole lol 😂 really like both shots! Very clever blending multiple shots!
Your chemistry with Amanda was off the roof😍
I married my stalker. It was easier than a restraining order.
Sage advice.....
me too, best thing I ever did!!!
Hilarious and got me thinking that, in fact, my wife married me (20 years ago!) after some expert (at least in my mind) stalking!
Its called courting.
Catherine and Amanda vs Gavin, needs to happen.
That would be epic!!! Yes please.
I told you Gavin! you can't trust women from the BC interior, very strange out there. Haven't yo ever watched deliverance?
di de low do di do dow doooo
I Hear Banjos Gavin!
@@fototripper Squeal ! You know you want to .....
Squeal like a fototripper
Poor Ned Beatty always gets the rough end of the stick.
Watching Amanda almost break during the sketches is great.
He’s back! Missed the humour! And she is such a trooper for playing along so well!
I think it’s the narrator meta-humor that gets me. It adds such a good layer of comedic depth that I don’t see anywhere else. At least on YT.
;)
Binge watching your videos Gavin and just realized you have just over 70K subs. With this quality content i'd imagine at least 500K subs!
Amanda is pressing all the right buttons and none of them are on the camera lol
Watching this old video is like watching an old WWE match. You knew it was fixed then, and you know it's fixed now, yet it's still entertaining.
Fun fact: so-called Spanish moss is an epiphyte. Not a moss at all, but a flowering plant that's lost its roots and relies on the the tree to give it a roost and the rain and atmospheric moisture for water.
The fix is on!
Gavin, your ability to teach, and make it comedic at the same time puts you in a class of your own!! Thanks for all the work you put into these and never mind those trolls.

Can't wait to see how this plays out. lolol. Beautiful image at 11:30! Another fantastic video man!
Brilliant! Inspiring and so so funny. Well done both of you, great work and talent. Oops... I nearly forgot to mention the photography - Breath taking!
your uploads are awesome and I love the relationship you have :)
Great photography, Amanda great as usual. And not a single fart reference. Bravo
This one is comedy genius, the timing on the editing is perfection, that's a proper Yorkshire edit!
The creep is strong in that one! 😂 So funny I barely noticed the great instruction going on. Great way to learn. Thanks!
The shot at 11:30 I think I'll remember it again and again for a long time it's so beautiful
two week a go am been at this place ... I love this forest tree paradise... I hope i
will go back tomorow.
Thank goodness!! Your vlog gotten so decent, so boringly photographic, so annoyingly technical. And now Amanda. Such a relief.
Great shot of that waterfall! Good to see Amanda come back! Always a good laugh to watch your videos :D
Ok so I'm a little late to the party on this video, I've only somehow just discovered to this channel and it's fast becoming a favourite.
Absolutely love this channel, so glad I found it.
As a fellow Vancouver Island resident, thank you for showing me these places that I don't need a plane ticket to go to :D If only it stopped raining...
Hmmm. the man who goes hiking in flipflops is saying the woman in shorts and ballet shoes is dressed inappropriately for a shoot!!...anyone else see the irony here?? Cracked me up...well done you two I'm amazed there were not more out-takes/bloopers :-)

But.........but.....I'm on a diet :(
Oh dear, oh dear. That’s a bummer. Me too!!
It was all those pastries in Scotland wasn’t it!! It’s difficult when you’re on the road. Convenience food is the only option.
Mate, you crack me up, thanks for making these videos, Vancouver Island is officially now on the bucket list.
I wish I could give you a million thumbs ups. I really enjoy the way you describe your shots. You pull me into the photo and it makes me feel as if I was there. I hope in the future that you put out a photo book with your descriptions and writing to accompany your photography. I would buy that in a heart beat!

Was feeling quite down today then watched this and it cheered me right up, brilliant

Next you in Las Vegas I will take you to photograph the oldest tree 🌲 in Nevada..
Am also a Brit in Canada. Loved the video and the banter. Just subscribed
Lovin the Astroglide plug...
Yeah i need paying for that!
@@fototripper Gotta get that endorsement and keep the supply stocked haha
Great Video as always! Great to see Amanda back in action... don't forget to use the "correct" side of that lens cloth :) 5040
Great video, really enjoy watching & learning the how to’s. Still not sure about blending different photo exposures. I noticed one thing on the top of the tree stomp you were photographing.

Another great video Gavin. You weren't serious about separate rooms, were you? lol
Every video is a nice surprise...(hey! nice girl!) I'm getting addicted and...I like it! Ha ha ha! Keep on the good job!
So much fun, another very enjoyable video.
Sure this is the first I’ve seen of this guy..... this cracked me up and I’m now a subscriber.
On top of which there’s also the stunning images, bonus. 🙂
She is back!! Awesome! lol
Hi Gavin, cool video. Your cam looks like a taped Sony a7IV? ;-)
One of a kind vids, Gavin! Looks to me that you will have no problem keeping the horizon straight... On a photographic note, it would be great the next time you and your peers get together to put a vid together on where you think photography is going in the next decade.
Good idea.
Hilarious video and she played her role very well! Her evil laugh stole the show. Well done, Gavin!
OMG! When I heard Bene Gesserit witch voice, I spewed my Cheerios all over my screen. I’ll be sending you a bill for the cleaning service! Nice image blends.
hahahahahahahaahh
You should do way more videos with Her. Just pure fun to watch. Love it.
Another great video. Nice to see Amanda back! 😍
So enjoyable,,, too funny... I was at Cathedral Grove last summer with my grandson. Thanks, Gavin.
The stump is brilliant and beautiful, but my focus goes way beyond. At the stumps 9 o'clock in behind the limbs and brush is an object of some sort. I thought at first is was a car. After I spotted the only time I admired the stump is when he called my attention back to it. I always enjoy your videos.
Another fantastic video Gavin 👍 That waterfall shot is stunning 👌
Loved it! I miss you both 😉 perhaps an online stalker stalking the stalker thats stalking the prey?
Frightening!
that'd be worth following...
Thanks Gavin and Amanda, brilliant video and tutorial, thanks- enjoyed that one!
"Look at my pants", paaaaahhh ha ha! Brilliant. You can help me with my photoshop skills...... Bunny boiler right there!. Theme starting to develop here, Gavin! Fabulous video :)
Lol. Amanda's creepy stalker acting skills are great. Touché to you both.
perfect blend of humour and serious photography teaching
Bloody brilliant GH as usual, sooo nice to see Amanda again, what a laugh. cheers mate.
The photoshop was missing Uncle Grumpy on his eagle!
Another great video! Really funny. 😂 Some awesome shots also, top work. 👍
Lucky bugger to share the bed with that 3 legged hunk of a tripod. And congratulations on the MOST JUICY PHOTOGRAPHER 2019!
Serious note fantastic images as usual! 😀
Thanks man.
I hope the both of you are still doing your videos 25 years down the road.
Awesome video Gavin waterfall shot was my fav .
Beautiful shots Gavin!
That shot at 5:40... incredible sharpness and detail. Just wow.
It's nice to see that your flatulent stalker has made a return...I think she might need to make more appearances. And she has such a melodic laugh!
Gavin!
Great to see ya back 👍🏼

INDONESIA 08:AM .....15/12/2019
uuuuuu sekarang ada temennya ibu ibu yaa,, makin seru aja nih vlog nya
Cutest stalker ever. Have to get myself one of those.
Best Stalker Ever!
I love your stalker videos! It definitely helps when the stalker is as good looking as she is.
Another great video, loved it. Just wondering, why have you covered the logo on the camera?
That image that Amanda gave you cracked me up, truly a lol
Freaking hilarious! Uncle Grumpy must be jealous!
Very informative very funny my first time to your channel and i love it :) will go sub
😂 Great entertainment, your channel is becoming the photo communitie's favourite sitcom! 😂
This is the funniest stuff, love it! Great work, thank you for your time and money making it!.
that was really funny you look utterly petrified. im liking the concept of the combined polariser and ND filter
Nice to see that you sometimes use a lens cloth to clean lenses!
Well Gavin, I really think you should consider making Amanda a permanent resident on your channel, she adds a great deal to the content. 50K viewers here you come! Well done the two of you! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome shots, just so beautiful. Will download for my backgrounds

He's up next.....
@@fototripper awesome, every time you two are together, my goal is to not wet myself. 😊 Oh this sounds bad....I mean laughing of course.
@@debbydhill a worthy goal
You two friggin crack me up. Love it. Amanda is super cool.
Hahaha!! Amanda is a great sport. Awesome video and I learned a thing or two,Great work.
Now, you see, because I'm not actually a Landscape Photographer per-se, I'd take the shot in an entirely different way, and probably just see how many different close-up shots I could take of parts of the tree stump.

Roadside tree stump looked a bit like something out of Doctor Who but I loved the vlog... very funny yet informative 😀👍
So, I was expecting more outtakes? Are they on some sort of "special site" we can visit?
There must be some sort of suitable hub for them?
Haha loved this. Amanda is brilliant. You two make a great team
I will be the one person of your 31,200 subscribers to note that Little Qualicum Falls is before Cathedral Grove, on your way to Ucluelet.
But that's ok. I also had fun figuring out the Long Lake location of the opening phone-call scene.
...and maybe I was also the only one of your 31,200 subscribers who was anticipating Uncle Grumpy joining the hotel bedroom scene.
oh god, now i've got a more dangerous stalker.....
She reminds me of Rose from Two and a half men. Very entertaining and funny. Loved it.👍👍
It's just a log
🤣And he's back with a vengeance....with Amanda to boot! Good grief that laugh cut had me in stitches.
Great video and shots
Brilliant! Fototripper at his best!
really enjoyed your video..... a year later , not too late :)
If only I had such a stalker! 😉
Always good entertainment value as well as learning new tips watching your videos...thank you.
Amanda is just brilliant 👌 great video 👍
Very nice mate, I love ready my shitty messages just for a bit of fun lol but I would expect you get far more! With your sub count I mean lol! Am I digging a whole lol 😂 really like both shots! Very clever blending multiple shots!
