Landscape Photographer Drops Camera In River + Thomas Heaton Quakes With Jealousy

What happens when four landscape photographers get together to shoot a waterfall? Someone's camera is going for a swim, that's what.
It's about the worst thing that can happen to your camera but there's a special kind of dance that you can use to avoid getting your precious camera wet. One of us masters this technique, one of us doesn't.
Still, it could have been worse, it could have been salt-water.
As a bonus, Chris gives us a tour of his latest campervan upgrades and it's obvious that Thomas Heaton will be quaking with jealousy when he sees this majestic rig.
Grumpton makes a guest appearance with some hard-earned words of wisdom for Chris but Chris ain't listening.
I figure out a lucrative method of rinsing more money out of Ben $20 at a time but he's getting wise to my ways. It's a good job that he's mastered the 'Dangleberry Dipper' on his second day with me.
Jason looses street cred for driving around in a nun-wagon but immediately earns it back by delivering a solid 'face-like-a' without any preparation.
We end the day at the most epic campground in Canada but will the rain ever stop? Will the images be recoverable from that drenched memory card and will Grumptons bruised toe ever heal?
There's really only one way to find out.
Thanks for watching

Have you read my book? www.fototripper.com/chasing-awe-landscape-photography-book-gavin-hardcastle/
Yes, 🙂 Still waiting for the next one !!!!
yes
Only if you ship it to uk free lol
Nice Van, Adam's was very intricate and well made at the back, but he's now with car, God bless, but hopefully he'll have new supped up deluxe van with 5 star inter LED lighting soon. Gav, when we getting next Hardcastle Towers video? Thanks
It's a good thing I'm not there with you guys, two Chris's are too many 😅
Patiently waiting for Thomas Heaton's reply LMAO I love how you all are friends but can joke with each other. We need more of that kind of banter in the photography community
Great stuff, I love a good campervan tour! 😊
That remix of the chap falling into the water was pure gold! 🎉
I have to say, Amanda excels at standing in place in the background. I liked the showing of the work that went into the van, I like that kind of stuff.
Poor Amanda, just standing alone in the background. I hope she wasn’t bored. Another lovely video, always a joy to watch.
@amv000yt7 and @markosberndt2065 But what about the Hasselblad? 🙂📷
Good to see Gumpton in your video again - he and you have a connection that makes them fun! My heart aches for Jason...I went into the drink in Alaska with my Canon and it never $tarted again. PS: Have a friend here who is doing a Delica conversion and its a total wreck. :)
Ben took his time through two videos to get comfortable with this channel’s comedic standards, but, that last remark was ‘tripper worthy! 😅
Ha Ha, god watching that again makes me feel sick to my stomach all over again...updates on the camera coming soon! Dang, wish I'd gone to Meat Cove now...steak dinner, yeesh. Chris needs to add a snorkel to his van to keep up with Heaton now...and with the rain we had, we almost needed it! Great fun my friend...looking forward to next time! Oh and Ben...11/10 on that camera save! 😎📸
I really wish we had footage of the drop.
@@fototripper I know that would have been great for the video…need to set up a camera on a tripod and just film us all as we scuttle around.
‘Woodstove” You always crack me up.
I’d like to see someone build out a Chrysler Pacifica. Mine is stalwart as hell-best vehicle ever.
Hello Gavin, I'm From Australia Love Your Video's, Can't Stop Laughing When I Watch Them.
Love this video. Laughed so hard at Adam's bit and the dance!! Been there, Got soaking wet in the river, Ocean and lake trying to capture a shot. So far splashed my camera with water just once, but never drowned it. Hope it is doing ok!
Rice Nooooo, microscopic starch grains on the rice + water = glue. Desiccated silica gel bags in a sealed container.
i love how you capitalize on the awkward moments with the brief silence and makes the moments better
Time well spent watching this video! Amazing variety of content and entertainment....and oh boy, that voice....and Amanda!👌
Man, I can’t remember how many years ago you introduced that running gag at 10:58 and it’s still good, also in the Leica variation 😁
Shot shocks? Chris's van "journey" begins. 👍😘
It's the honeymoon phase
This is looking like a really fun trip. I absolutely geeked out when you showed the drone shot from the last trip there.
As well as the photography, I love the interaction between you lot. Keep it going, but when will we find out about Hardcastle Towers?
Perfect timing! I just went to this beauty set of Falls again yesterday, only to be greeted with about 15 cars... all of which were near full families. Ya love to see it, haha! Nice video, buddy!
Great movie. Lots of 😂😂humor, rain💧💧☂☂ , and photos 🎥🎥📸📸 👍
Thanks for the latest video, I love it when my bell rings with an adventure from fototripper!
I think with @thomasheaton latest upgrades to his van he's still way ahead of the game 😂
It was totally out of order of him to upgrade AFTER we'd filmed this.
My goodness Wow!!! I loved the focus stacked waterfall shots with the partially sharp freeze motion of parts of the waterfall....the rest of the water milky and smooth with motion blur. Very special indeed! This is something I have always wanted to do.
Those shots of the lupins ......Wow again!!!! So simple in its own way but superb in the way the colours radiated out!!! Brilliant!
Overall, the best video in a while. Highly hilarious 😂😂😂
Couldn’t stop laughing at the sketch in the river, superb! Disaster dropping the camera in water, bet you’re glad it wasn’t one of yours. Nice one Gavin. P.S. missed hearing Amanda’s “meat Cove”.
Thomas Heaton’s has got a snorkel on his van!🤣🤣🤣🤣
He should have spent that money on an extra tow strap…
And the Oscar goes to...His Royal Grumpness!
By the way, when wearing his hat, Chris looks like Terry Pratchett
You have the best videos! Very good to learn new skills and having fun at the same time! I love it!
Entertaining as always… never misses a beat. Great stuff, Gavin!
Great mix with the water stumbling Gavin. If anyone is going to slip over on wet rocks it's me so always take a tripod as a walking stick.
WAIT; You wonna tell me the lupin shot is already 1 year ago?! Time flies!
His van was nice but missing a copy of Chasing Awe by Gavin Hardcastle 😳
Valid point
Grumpton and Chris! Close to the pinnacle of awesome landscape videos. Thanks for sharing!
Triple like for camera wet song
You mixed up nikon with Olympus when I get salt or mud on my EM1mk3 just rinse off under a tap
Adam Gibbs Lives !
Ahhh yes, I know well the pain of letting gravity win the fight to keep the expensive bit of technology from taking a bit of a bath. Two years ago I was out in the middle of a river, opting to head back to dry land and try a different angle. A friend who had come with me, to watch me splash around in the water I suppose reached out to take the camera for me, nice gesture, and I said "You know, I should hand him this camera before I drop it into the river, the stones here are quite slippery". So that's what I did, attached to the tripod. Then I made my way out of the river, or was trying too, when I began slipping about. My friend, in a bid to help opened the legs to the tripod, set it down....not realizing I had one of the legs adjusted rather short. He turned around just in time for me to lean down and grab the legs of the tripod and pull the camera out of the river. I will say, I pulled it out, patted it dry, checked the contacts, and internals. Not a drop of water got into the casing, sure my X-T3 isn't a medium format, or even a full frame, but apparently it doesn't mind a bit of water now and again.
The wood stove suggestion made me laugh out loud. Brilliant. thank you!
Great video once again Gavin, Grumptons moving house , it'll probably move better than he's van.
I feel sorry for jason, nothing can be more gut wrenching when that happens, hope it ends up being ok.
Great video at a great location with some great laughs. You actually got me to spend twenty two minutes of my life watching it. That'll be twenty dollars please.
Plus shipping and handling.
Would have loved to have had a camper van for photography in my youth. Sorry to see the camera take a bath. Hope it will be ok. The drone shot and flower shot from last week (year?) are still magnifique.
As a fellow northerner I watched for the van build then turned off..I’m tight with my time..the annoying pro got in the way..only joking gavin your the man..😂
Nice cameo by Adam describing his crap van.
I'm here watching your video of you folks in the rain as we've had little for weeks and a 355 km2 wildfire approaches my tiny town above the Arctic Circle.
Love your videos G! Educational content with a chaser of comedy... or is it the other way around?
I live in the UK and many folk have bought a similar vehicle for conversion. I just don't get this when there are plenty of reliable small vans that would serve better.
Grumpton is to blame. He started the fad.
For any electronics that get wet, with the power off clean with distilled water, and use moving air to dry out. Tap water and river water will leave minerals when they dry up, distilled water will help clean everything out and the moving air will dry faster than rice.
@wavesummit Agree, but fresh water is better than salt water, and a lot of Yuppie water (our tap water is safe to drink) has added gunge and sugar so isn't much good either. I do have a bottle of distilled water handy for clean-ups.
Rice is a myth as far as I can tell.
And be careful of forced ventilation, sucking or blowing, as rotating fans can generate damaging voltages.
Hi Gavin: Always enjoy your videos. We were down east in June and went to the falls location you attended. That is once we were finally able to find the location. Also went up towards Meat Cove but didn't go all the way because an amazing fog back was rolling into the hills around Cap Stick. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Keith Pinn (Barrie, Ontario)
For what it is worth, PA photographer here, and the waterfalls you visited while here are covered with moving foliage. My solution to this is to create two focus stacked images, one with the proper exposure for the water movement 6th of a second. Then another image stitched together with an open aperature, but the same exposure. This normally gets me a fast enough shutter to capture water texture, and freeze the motion of any foliage. The only downfall is that the second image is normally a focus stack of many images because of the short DOF. After you have those two images, its just a matter of blending the images to achieve the desired results. Thought that might help someone.
Lol great work saving the camera from drowning 😱🤣 Sorry about Jason’s camera. I hope it’ll be ok. Beautiful shots of the waterfall🤩
Jason, I’m so sorry for your accident!!!! My heart just bleeds when I see a photographer lose any equipment!!!!! I’m glad I wasn’t there because I couldn’t stop the absolute depression I would for you!!!!!
I hope everything turns out well for you!!!!! Thanks, lichen, and subscribe!!!!!!!
Im going to try and make it to Meat Cove, not this weekend coming but the next. Probably the only place in Cape Breton i haven't been to yet
LMAO, wood burning stove, I could heat that thing with 2 Dietz lanterns. The cutaway to Adam were priceless!
Sometimes it's nice to be watched
Thomas Heaton is more mechanic than photographer these days 😂😂
That's pretty true right there
Adding more stuff to the photo lab on wheels
This is a cool location. Beautiful water fall. I was a regular viewer of this channel when you were in Vancouver Island. Once you moved to east I unsubscribed because those locations would be outside of my reach that I would be able to travel. But after watching this video you travel to amazing locations still within Canada. I subscribed again and added the location to my bucket list..😊.
So when I got to Scotland you'll unsubscribe again? Well thanks.
@@fototripper Or if you sell Hasselblad x2d.
I fell in a duck pond with a Nikon F2s. Killed it. Wasn't underwater for 2 seconds but even Nikon could not bring it back. Sits on my shelf as a reminder.
I did this with a Canon F2. I put out the batteries and continued shooting after I drained the water out of the lens.
The body and the lens was OK for some other decades ....
Nice to see Grumpton make an appearance!
Hi Gavin - Forest Forest has your wood burning stove with the chimney in his van, LOL. And yes...he does most of his van life hiking in Canada. He can be found at: www.youtube.com/@forestyforest. I was heavily influenced by Mr Heaton and used 8020 in my van build on a 2022 AWD Lifted Toyota Sienna. It came with the inverter and it can get up to 36mpg when not loaded down. I opted for the microwave and Keurig in mine along with a sink and a fridge. For me, it's less about the camping and more about getting my butt out early to shoot and getting back after the light is gone...hence the microwave. Love the videos! Keep them coming!
This is the first time I've recognized the falls you went to - it's on my bucket list but I'm a bit wary of the hike back up.... Fellas got some beautiful images!
It's steep but short. 15 mins if you're mildly fit.
Well that sounds do-able - thanks!
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bag of scratchings that accidentally got wet…until now 😁
A techno beat so nice we got to see me almost dump the Leica twice.
Where were these lyrics on the day?
@@fototripper You don't have enough bleeps to cover up the words that were going through my head as that was happening.
hahahaha@@benruset
Love to see Thomas join this ensemble
13:19 Those are not ferns in the foreground, that is grass! Beautiful grass, if I may say so! ☺️🤗
I liked the Leica shot the best!
You'll have to let us know if the nikon is dead.
I nearly fell into a lake with my camera three years ago when I slipped on some rocks.
At least I got some nice sunset photos.
just found your channel... absolutely brilliant! 🤣
Nice Video And Awesome Shots With The Students, Will You, Adam, Page, Brent And Thomas Be On Another Adventure?
I have, sadly, some experienc with wet electronics,
-battery OUT
- vacuum cleaner (probably have one in your camper?) Applied soon, and carefully, maybe using a piece of window screen, or anything similar, on the 'snout' of the vacuum
- get it somewhere warm, a bit of air flow helps, if dust free
- and/or, apparently, put it all in a cloth or paper bag or wrapping, into a bag of white rice
In my experience, the vacuum cleaner is a big help in getting out the water that is in places like card connectors, USB, video and audio port
11:21 haha the best camera song ever written 💀
Nah that vans shite… it hasn’t got an “Amanda”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You three feckers and the goddess you must have kidnapped, are too funny. Thanks but, I can’t believe you were in NY and didn’t stop in to see me, wow…
LOL the river dance!!! we've all been there :) only lost a camera once, I've learned to sacrifice my body to save the camera! Healthcare is free, camera's aren't LOL :)
"Healthcare is free" ... you must be Canadian. 🇺🇲 💲💲💲☹️😭
So many classic moments😅
Those expedition cars are very healthy instruments and investments and interesting from a psychoanalytic angle, as they are small personalized caves on wheels. Look how proud they all are (those who made them themselves). I created one based on a Land Rover once, superior in any aspect of course. Tosh's version is good too and seems to include a good portion of solid Canadian plywood. Mine did also (probably Swedish though), and that's the point where you tend to forget about weight (and diesel consumption) and let your inner timber man go berserk. ... PS: Now it's official - Grumpy is ready for the finger painting academy. Lately he's been seen with pre-historic abes!
So many things I could say about this one! Let's see if Thomas or Uncle Grumpy chime in on this. Chris will be looking to install a snorkel on his Delica next. And with the amount of rain we get here in Nova Scotia - he might need it! Gavin you should be stocking bags of Basmati in your camper for times like this. You could sell them..... for let's say..... $20. Keep up the escapades! Cheers.
I can smell the money now.
He could turn it into a burger van. Be a nice little earner. Do they have burger vans in NS?
Lol😂😂😂 I didn't know landscape photography could be so much fun until your videos😊👍🙏🤘👏
10:07 - C’mon guys, you shouldn’t have dangleberries!!! Even while camping you shouldn’t! 😂
Your videos with other people are really funny and will make any warm blooded hombre like and subscribe.
Another video I loved. Wood stove haha A long nap in the rice, I hope it turns out well.
I once fell into a river with a brand new 5d IV and 70-200. Friend tried to grab my arm to pull me out, I yelped, ‘forget me, grab the camera!’
8:33 - I’ll take his word for it!!
Who else is now humming that tune - "Do not get your camera wet..." 😀
Great video, but we don't learn whether the Nikon has survived the bath?
Tune in to Jason's channel for that
Ok I was primed …. When you started with “you know what you really need though is…”, I was expecting you to say … your very own copy of Chasing Awe…but the wood stove comment was pretty good also.
Brilliant and as funny as ever.
Good entertainment - oh and some reasonable photography going on there too! hahaha. I do enjoy these videos.
Great one! We all need camper vans now 😂
Damn that’s an awesome waterfall, when are we going?
Any time you want fella. Got a whole load more to show you too.
Visited meat cove from Ontario in July, Love it but that road in is terrible ! I read that it had been graded the day after we were there.
Another classic! Loved it.
Oh I feel for Ben I learned that lesson the hard way as well and fractured my coccyx
Thankfully I (and the camera) escaped unscathed. Hope you had a speedy recovery, though!
@@benruset old bones heal slowly thankfully alls good now
Great pics☝☝☝☝☝❤❤
A Sony, Leica, Nikon, and canon
Sounds like the start to a bad joke 😂
Great Video @fototripper ....... that'll be £20.00 please
It went up with the currency conversion.
@@fototripper how’s about 2 twirls and a twix?
Very fun storytelling, as always!
You've got a TON of friends Gavin: Grumpton, Heaton.....
Thomas's and Chris's copy shop! LOL!
Love Bens stacked shot
I use a 2000 lumen torch, slow shutter speed and paint the scene with light. I use the same in doors with flower macro photography. Looks like sunlight 😊
