@@fototripper really looking forward to its arrival & happy to support the channel, as you have given me alot of pleasure (if that does not sound too suspect?!) since I subscribed quite some time ago now.
Haha, that was so good, man, but hey, I brought that check to the bank, and they wouldn't take it; in fact, they kicked me out. What's the deal with that? 🤔
This video is more entertaining than the Superbowl which I may not even bother to watch now! Loved seeing another side of Michael!! And your "half" decent images are BEYOND decent!
Classic!! 🤣 Gotta love a bit of Shainblum. Who knew a camera bag could be used as a weapon?! LOL! Getting back to photography.... those cypress trees were absolutely amazing!! Gorgeous photos!!
Oh my gosh, if we had anything like that in Australia, I would be quite happy to pack the caravan up and travel 5,000 miles to take photos. I love the photos Gavin.
I waded one of those Georgia swamps all night with the Ranger School at Ft. Benning. I mostly try to avoid swamps ever since that experience, but you did get some beautiful shots with cypress trees changing color.
The one thing that really sets you apart from many other photograpers that I know is your commitment to the image. It really comes out here and it paid off too.
Excellent video Gavin and quite possibly the best shots you’ll get all year. Those Cypress trees and the Spanish moss plus the “reflexions” are stunning.
When you were passing all those beautiful scenes when Joey was driving the boat it reminded me of my non-photographer Scottish cousins driving me around some of the lochs. It was everything I could do not to yell out to stop the car to capture some of those never-to-be-seen again Scottish moments. Loved the shots; magical!
Thanks! Gavin. I am in Alberta and have 3 grown children in Texas. You have inspired me to visit the swamps. Great UA-cam channel. I have been watching for awhile. Scott
Ah wow, what a fantastic video! The location is stunning, you captured is so wonderfully! Looks like a great laugh, i hope that "money" he got worked out for him! 🤣
Those aren't hip waders (I have a pair so I could take pics of my dog in the Potomac). Those are chest waders 🙂 When Michael was hitting you with the tripod it looked so real I could feel the pain. "Figure it out Mr. Professional" LOL. Thanks for the laughs. You did get some awesome shots. Yes, mosquitos can be really bad. If you don't move down south as Amanda suggested at least come back through again for a visit. Maybe you can catch that color at Babcock. I really enjoy this series.
Excellent episode, perfect blend of superb photography and all action photographer wrestling lol...that guy was a more talented fighter than young Thomas....absolutely loved all the shots you took, beautiful. Many thanks and best wishes.
Gorgeous images Gavin. Yes, definitely try the bayou in summer before you move there. I walked into a woods one time on the bayou and was driven out by the mosquitos in just a few minutes, and I normally don't have a big issue with them, but they were ravenous. Maybe 6 mos. in the bayou and 6 mos. in Nova Scotia is the sweet spot. I really enjoyed southern Texas in the winter though. Safe travels.
What an amazing location and wonderful video as well. So cool seeing Michael here to try and collect his money. Amanda is always special. Great video guys!
Fantastic video, I no longer snack or drink during your videos, tired of having to clean my screen! fantastic shots, when are you and Amanda coming to California?
More great work, Gavin. Always love to tune in for these videos, but today’s swamp pics were glorious. Your compositional breakdowns are always on point, very useful and not merely for photography.
Gavin another fantastic video absolutely gorgeous photography And more funny bits here and there with other UA-camrs Awesome work 👍 But the videos are only 18 minutes long I need at least 35 to 40 Swamp photography awesome
absolutely Brilliant! Not only did I laugh my butt off, I'm sure somewhere Adam Gibbs is looking at these photos and bayou conditions and cursing your name. I didn't think anyone could outdo the antics with you and Adam but Shainblum stepped up didn't he....
Wow, what a place and images … top-notch. Add the hilarious video and you end up having a great piece of entertainment 😮❤😮❤😮 … is it possible that you point us to the guys with the boat. Thank you and keep,the good stuff coming. 😊
Michael S.~ Be careful over there in that SF area. We went there once. Had to throw our shoes away before entering our home when we got back. Bleaching our eyeballs helped a bit too. Good sense of humor too Mike. I imagine you had better have one hanging around those Hardcastle folks...
Wow, your shots were incredible. Please do move down here to Texas, but also be aware that summer starts in April or May, the daytime high temps are about 5500K for 4-5 months, then the ice storms arrive when the NWT sends their air south.
Get my book before it's gone: www.fototripper.com/chasing-awe-landscape-photography-book-gavin-hardcastle/
I ordered the sodding book, so you don't have too! (video coming soon)
Thanks Lawrence@@TheLDunn1

😅
What kind of sketchy bank are you using that won't accept legal tender?
You have to take it to the #2 Bank of Loo.
The sign said "Wendys" on the front, I figured it was a bank. They also had burgers which were pretty decent. @@fototripper
Sounds like a hairdressers. I still think you should just check that junk folder circa 2022@@MichaelShainblum
I can see why you like the swamp, these trees are very photogenic. Great images Gav.
This video is more entertaining than the Superbowl which I may not even bother to watch now! Loved seeing another side of Michael!! And your "half" decent images are BEYOND decent!
I think that's the real Blum.
Classic!! 🤣 Gotta love a bit of Shainblum. Who knew a camera bag could be used as a weapon?! LOL! Getting back to photography.... those cypress trees were absolutely amazing!! Gorgeous photos!!
The camera bag was used with extreme prejudice.
Michael Shainblum is one of my favorite photographers so it's awesome to see him on the channel. I aspire for my channel to be like yours one day!
You should sue UA-cam for not showing this to the whole world. People need this 😂

Thanks Mike.
Love those photos Gavin. That would be a great spot for one of your workshops.
Your outtakes absolutely crack me up every time, so so good!!
This is by far my favourite duoof photographer's Iamso glad to see Michael in this role
Excellent video Gavin and quite possibly the best shots you’ll get all year. Those Cypress trees and the Spanish moss plus the “reflexions” are stunning.
Too funny, love both of you and Amanda. Beautiful shots.

“The link to the bag is in the description”…. Classic!
This video with Michael was hilarious AND your shots are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!😁
that was a brilliant scene.....i enjoyed the tripod beating
Gavin that shot is a masterpiece
That first shot has got World Landscape Photo of the Year written all over it.....Far better than Grumpton's!
That Shainblum fella is like that from spending so much time on the mean streets of NYC
The bayou 😍... great work guys, keep it up.
Absolute belter of an episode 😂. Michael was abolsute fantastic! Somone mentioned saggy bag if noodles as #1. This is a close second! 😅
Some absolutely gorgeous, shots here.... That skit was hilarious rofl😂😂😂
These shots are extremely impressive, can`t get them out of my head !
Thanks! Gavin. I am in Alberta and have 3 grown children in Texas. You have inspired me to visit the swamps. Great UA-cam channel. I have been watching for awhile. Scott
Thanks a lot Scott
Photographic hilarity and fantastic music, magic.
love what you bring out in Shainblum!!!
Beautiful photos, Gavin. I love the bayou too!!
Used fish areas like that in NE Texas and NW Louisiana. Saw some pretty sunrise and sunsets.
Aggressive Shainblum is hilarious when you keep in mind his style of vlogs 😂
Ah wow, what a fantastic video! The location is stunning, you captured is so wonderfully!
Looks like a great laugh, i hope that "money" he got worked out for him! 🤣
Amazing! Some of the MOST BEAUTIFUL images I have seen fro you EVER, great job!!

Shit ticket = legal tender! Funniest line ive ever heard 🤣🤣🤣 Loved this skit! Loved the images too. Amazing!
Excellent episode, perfect blend of superb photography and all action photographer wrestling lol...that guy was a more talented fighter than young Thomas....absolutely loved all the shots you took, beautiful. Many thanks and best wishes.
Brilliant content as always, thank you all.
Belly laughed through the whole video. Thanks Michael.
Great photos too.

Welcome to Texas! Love your content! Hilarious! Don't miss Fort Worth stockyards for the most cowboy experience. Cheers from Dallas.
Wow whomped not by Thomas this time but some one you stiffed …very entertaining ..and some nice photos too. Keep up the great work .
I love the whitewashed looking gray along with the bright vibrant colors of autumn. A great contrast. Lots of texture as well.
You're Funny 😁 very entertaining, and beautiful shots. I will subscribe and share your channel.
What an amazing location and wonderful video as well. So cool seeing Michael here to try and collect his money. Amanda is always special. Great video guys!
😅😅😅 That was awesome! So cool to see you and Shainblum on an outing.
Brilliant images and a very entertaining episode 👍🏻
What a place. Loved the first two shots. And Best Supporting Actor goes to M. Shainblum.
What an amazing piece wow and I love the photos
"Nothing worse than a soggy strap"...I thought this was a family channel! 😂😂😂
..words to live by
Beautiful shots!
Fantastic video, I no longer snack or drink during your videos, tired of having to clean my screen! fantastic shots, when are you and Amanda coming to California?
Wonderful cypress compositions Gavin, uh, I mean John Cusack…
Some gorgeous country - worth the trip.
Unusual video as not only did you make me laugh (which you always do) but you managed to take some very good photos!
Shainblum really kicked your arse! That was fantastic. 😂
spectacular, swamp images!
That second image 🤤 it doesn't even look real (in the best possible way!) 😍
More great work, Gavin. Always love to tune in for these videos, but today’s swamp pics were glorious. Your compositional breakdowns are always on point, very useful and not merely for photography.
Some of your best images from this trip👏🏻
Bayou looks amazing...too many opportunities for cameras to end up in water for my liking! Shots look great...Shainblum, hah!
Great images, and good choice of music.
the Turkey Vultures are trying to stir up the gators so they can feast on the Gavin leftovers lol
You and Shainblum are
a killer combo!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Always love the comedy you bring to your photography, awesome mix and brings out a fun side to youtube photographers that doesn't often get seen :)
I really enjoyed this video! The scenery and humor is off the charts!
Gavin another fantastic video absolutely gorgeous photography
And more funny bits here and there with other UA-camrs
Awesome work 👍
But the videos are only 18 minutes long I need at least 35 to 40
Swamp photography awesome
Great photos and very entertaining video and music for the video was perfect 😂😊
Great work Gavin, stunning video.
Awesome photographs and video!
Shainblum rocked it. Great photos; lots of laughs.
The swamps are awesome and so are your shots. The Shainblum entry scene was brilliant. You’ll have to revisit that location 👌
You two are a riot!
You could do the Bayou at anytime of the year and come away with stunners. Amazing location.
I can see why you love it so much there after seeing your shots, there stunning Gavin 👌🏽
Great vlog Gavin, you found gold in that swamp, really funny too
🤣Funtastic adventure!! The photography was alright too👍
Absolutely awesome and hilarious at the same time ❤
I'm going to visit the Great Dismal Swamp in a couple of months. Possibly another wetlands area, too. Taking notes!
Looks pretty awesome down there too.
absolutely Brilliant! Not only did I laugh my butt off, I'm sure somewhere Adam Gibbs is looking at these photos and bayou conditions and cursing your name. I didn't think anyone could outdo the antics with you and Adam but Shainblum stepped up didn't he....
The blum brought the FIRE!
Wow, what a place and images … top-notch. Add the hilarious video and you end up having a great piece of entertainment 😮❤😮❤😮 … is it possible that you point us to the guys with the boat. Thank you and keep,the good stuff coming. 😊
greats shots, i loved the one from the boat too, maybe even more.
Now that's a great environment
Very entertaining video with beautiful shots. Greets Stefan
My Sunday evening complete, thank you. That swamp is beautiful. Where's my money! 😂😂😂
That was hilarious! Great video!

This is simply majestic ✨️ 🥰📷👏👍🏻✨️
What a outstanding place ❤
Another cracking video. What place to take photographs ! Love the tunes as well 😊
that skit was the best ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome photos. Great fight scenes.
Most alligators interviewed agree that photographers in the wild taste like chicken..without the feathers.
Gator is good and yes like chicken ..lol that is a beautiful place very envious of these ventures you've taken.
Amazing photos! I don't know which I like the best.
Haha welcome to my state! Greatly enjoyed the video!
Oh that was a gooder! Could have had Shainblum approach you yelling "that'll be 20 dollars, please... NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY!"
Michael superb acting man! Gavin the shots were devine! what a place
Acting?
haha Gavin I've seen his channel, soft spoken bob ross to angry Mofo, yeahhhh. Top notch skit guys! had me lol@@fototripper
