The pink jacket shot was amazing. That should be on the wall. Like wandering in a fairy tale. Great way to say goodbye, but hopefully you and the gang will have many many more encounters in the future. Looking forward to Hardcastle and Gibbs, although it sounds like the title for a cop show or a law firm. And even more incongruous - you bought a church? The most irreverent gent I know bought a church. This should be really interesting. Thanks as always for the smiles and laughs - and the superb images.
Why?? Itˋs Color Science. Pink and light green are so called Complementary Colors. That‘s why the image works so amazingly. Besides the composing skills of Mr „Heartcastle“ of course. 😁😆😂
I love the photo of Amanda in the pink jacket. She really brings scale to the shot, which makes it look even more majestic! Looking forward to your future adventures. A friend of mine renovated a church into a home - it was quite the project. Looking forward to seeing that, as well. I do think Grumpy misses you. He has had a far-away, forlorn look in his eyes in his videos lately. 😉
The amount of work you put in to these videos is incredible. The photography is professional and fantastic, the videos tell a story in a humorous way yet manage to support the photography core content, and the out-takes make the viewer feel like they are getting the inside scoop. Great stuff -- thank you again. And the photo with Amanda in it is breathtaking.
I am so sad you two wont be going on adventures all the time... but I pray the best for both of you and will keep watching to see what new adventures will be in the future. Love the picture of Amanda with the pink jacket amoung all the green mossy trees. Well done!
Ohhh, such a bittersweet video. You two are awesome together and I will be definitely be looking forward to Hardcastle and Gibbs. I hope you love Nova Scotia and can’t wait to see videos of your church renovation, how fun! The photo of Amanda looking at that magnificent tree limb is absolutely stunning. She almost looks like a little fairy in a magical land or forest! I don’t even know if I would change the color of her jacket. It’s just beautiful! Nikon is awesome! I have the Z7ii and I hear nothing but good about the Z9, everyone loves theirs. Good luck with the camera decision and hope you both are having fun settling into your new home. Nova Scotia is one of our bucket list places to visit!
Love the photo with the pink jacket (13:08) and you can also see a camera in that photo. Congrats on your purchase. I'm happy to hear you're closer to where I live (I'm in QC). It will be easier for me to meet you for a workshop.
That very last part of the outtakes was hilarious. Glad you got to use Nikon Z9. I understand it's an amazing camera. I have the Z7II and have been very pleased with it. I love all your images. They are outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos from your new location.
Stunning shots! Glad to see at least one person in the group has taste when it comes to camera brands! You’re going to miss those guys but am looking forward to following you new adventure.
Oh my, laughter through tears, that was about the saddest and funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Right up there with Steel Magnolias. Lol Photos we’re fantastic. Will miss you and Adam’s shenanigans but looking forward to Hardcastle & Gibbs!! Hope you and Amanda are doing well on the east coast. 👍💖
Great images as normal, good luck to both of you in your new adventure, and look forward to following you along the way. One thing, having visited Vancouver island a few years ago, you must find it awfully difficult to leave
It was worth the wait, that shot with Amanda and the tree arm was just fantastic keep up the good work and enjoy your new home. Cracking vlog as usual.
As always a gorgeous episode. I could really feel the pain between Adam and you two to say goodbye. Luckily there is the Hardcastle & Gibbs challenge and I can't wait to follow the new channel about the church project too....
Good luck with your new adventures in Nova Scotia. I heard that you will be selling advertising space on the renovated stonework of the castle. Your patrons providing some suitable prose to engrave. 😛 All the best to you and Amanda 😀
Cant wait for the new show bc going to miss you two together. I think you would appreciate that the ad in the middle of your vlog was for a ‘poop transplant’!
I have to agree with the others, the shot of Amanda is fantastic. Having a figure in the image gives scale and somehow emphasises the chaos of a forest scene, but at the same time brings sense to it (that seems so pretentious but it's what I felt). Hope everything goes well in Nova Scotia and that you and Adam re-establish your partnership soon.
Aside from coming away with some excellent insights on photography, composition, etc;, as well as how well your wife integrates with all things surrounding this beautiful escapade..., I can never figure out why my clothes smell like they've been around a campfire after viewing your latest show. Truly a treat and I look forward, greatly, to Gavin/McGrumps as well as the picture shot today hanging up in your old church!! Safe and blessed travels.
Brilliant comedy as usual guys and Amanda! Shimoda are the best camera bag manufacturers, so thoughtful of all body shapes. They even thought of the Hardcastle somatotype 🤣 Now we just need to make Mr Gavin Hardcastle a Nikon ambassador! 📸
Watching that through and I thought, how many takes did you need for that table conversation. I thought there would have to be a few! Hahahaha. And there was. As for the images - love that one with Amanda in it. Her presence with a sense of being in the space and nature, taking in that tree branch . . . . Yeah wow.
Loved it all! Thanks for the emotional roller coaster! I hope you both love your new home. As a child, my Dad got stationed in Newfoundland, twice. Spent 4 years at Goose Air Force base. I was bet. 6 & 10 years old. What an amazing experience for a family of Floridians out of our element. The scenery , forest & grasslands were amazing. We would visit valley people & go for skidoo rides with the kids being pulled on a long tobbogan. Seeing the Aurora borealisis, blizzards & getting snowed in.Watch out for bears!🐻 I look forward to more of your adventures with Amanda & Adam.
Love the shot of Amanda in the pink jacket. Can you see the elephant peeking out from behind the tree above Amanda. Makes me sad we won’t see you n Adam galavanting around anymore, but can’t wait to see the old church 😁💜🤩
Always fun videos. Well written and executed. The best learning has humour sprinkled in. In this case, the humour might be first with a little instruction slipped quietly in. Anyhoo, welcome to NS, my province. Do have have plans you're willing to share? You'll fit right in.
Amazing shots! I second Mark, that Pano was "bussin" as my kids say. It could mean something entirely different than what I think it means. I don't think 40-year-old men are supposed to use that word. But HEY congrats on the big move!
Great stuff Gavin, beautiful images as usual. Don't know if I'm biased but the Nikon shots were really top notch. Best of luck with the move, wishing you a happy life on the new frontier 👍
@@chrisroot7182 Thanks. The Z9 is the Nikon I have been waiting a few years for. I can't blame the equipment any more. Have an excellent adventure out east, it will be a lot more sunrise shots!
The forests on the east coast are very different from what you have on Vancouver island or the west coast in general. What you will have come fall is autumn colors that you will never see over here. I love that you are renovating an old church. My family did that when I was a kid down in Virginia. Should be a rewarding project. The beaches of Nova Scotia are spectacular though. That’s where you’ll find your miss fix.
Great stuff, Gavin. Love the pano shot and the “Hurry and Rush” shot. I would be pumped for Hardcastle & Gibbs. 👏🏻👏🏻Also, come on over to the Darkside with Nikon. You don’t know what your missing.
Going to miss your weekly videos with Adam & crew🥺 - That slapstick humour! Learning lots from all your channels! Can’t wait to see yourself & Amanda’s new adventures in N.S. Most of all your adventures here in Newfoundland - we have lots to photograph! 😁
You will love the color and the dynamic range of those nikon files. The Z7ii can take 15 minute long exposure in camera with no trigger. Id say try one, and wait to see if Nikon is going to announce a z7iii anytime soon if you really like what it has to offer. I am still rockin the 1st z7 and its amazing.
As a Z 7ii (Z 7 before that, and over 40 years of Nikon F and D before that) I have to say, stop talking Z 7iii. Nikon still owe us better firmware. Nikon have improved the Mk i series' firmware to the point >some< feel Mk i 3.4 is better at a few things than Mk ii 1.4. It's simple. Nikon, IMO, have not been able so far to reorganize their firmware in a way that two separate processors to the fullest benefit us from these 2. The Z 9 works around that software engineering problem with two processors in one chip - but has dual I/O paths like two separate processors have. My take is that Nikon has (had to) made (make) priority choices in the development of the Z 9 and its firmware and placed Mk ii firmware development on the back-burner. I migrated from Mk i to Mk ii at firmware level 3 and have to admit, if 3.4 had been available at the time, I might have stayed with Mk i. To me the Z 7(ii) as a package is ideal in size and weight. Don't want D850 or D5 size cameras 99% of the time. If we look at Nikon's D camera development, it's likely for them to come up with a Z 8 with the Expeed from the Z 9 - more MP, less speed, slightly smaller. Maybe with the EN-EL15 battery. Well, MP are an "area" number and human perception of sharpness (detail resolution) follows "linear" lines. A camera with a sensor of 6,000*4,000 has 24 million photosites (these are not "pixels"!) and to get 2 times the detail resolution we need to apply 2x linear resulting in 12,000*8,000 or 96MP. This explains why we can be disappointed in the image "quality" improvement of what we think is a lot more MP and it explains our surprise about how good a 12 MP image from 10 years ago actually is. And, let's face it, it may be cheaper to significantly improve Mk ii firmware than to develop a new camera and in such improvement, they would significantly improve their competitive position and brand value.
@@jpdj2715 I have a 1st gen z7, some of those functions in the z7ii I will never be able to have. And why I am waiting to see what the next z7 has to offer, plus id get better deal on a z7ii if its not mind blowing; and if I can save $600 or more on a z7ii then hell yeah lol. The only firmware update I can not understand why they do not give us back is 3d tracking. Xspeed6 in a D850-D5-D6 has it, but for some reason they are trying to say it can't be done done in the z6/7 1st gen or second gen which is rockin 2 is BS, we want our 3D tracking back.
@@bigbrownmab189 - appreciated. About 3D tracking - totally with you. Can the D850 do that in Live View (because that's the only thing a mirrorless camera has)?
I do look forward to these videos from my gloomy location in the South Pennines. Such wonderful light. Such plumpness. Can’t wait for the NS videos to start. All the best for your next adventures.
I know you made humour (successfully) from the end-of-an-era parting but it is sad for us, the viewers (I’d guess; for many) as well as it must be for you. There’s no other similar blog that does this or anything like so well . Comedy gold!
When you get a chance get south to New Hampshire during the fall and take the Kancumangus scenic highway 122. It’s a great drive and there’s mount Washington and Glen- Ellis falls to take in.
Like many others I think the pano shot of Amanda in her pink jacket works wonderfully. Looking forward to seeing your adventures on the east coast and hope that your move works our well for you both.
Too much fun! Thanks. I'd love to know how many takes it took for the "gift" scene. I think the picture of Amanda at 13:30 had enough space in the middle for both of you, maybe next time. Nice job capturing such a challenging subject to my eye. Best of luck with the rehab.
Another fantastic video from Hardcastle and crew. Thanks for all the information and entertainment over the years. Hope you still inform and entertain us with your new adventures. Best to you and Amanda with your home project.
Subject is so key in photography, but it takes a master to make it shine. Loved all of the pics in this vid. Gavin and Grumpy are part of the elite, landscape photography wise and it shows in the careful way they recce and compose individual shots. Awesome stuff! I’m pretty good at wildlife and portrait photography, because its about predicting movement half the time, but I’d butcher these landscapes with bad decisions.
You guys crack me up!!!! LOL! Thanks for the laughs!! Nova Scotia huh?! You can help them select the new tree to send down to Boston this Christmas! Some photographic options! LOL! They cut one down somewhere in Nova Scotia.......... BTW.. Love the moss tree images! 😁
A church! That's a bit gothic. I'll miss your escapades with Adam, but I'm looking forward to seeing some new landscapes in your new home. Good luck to you both. 😀
Another great video, if a little sad that there won't be as many Gibbs and Har, I mean Hardcastle and Gibbs vids. ;-) Vancouver Island seemed like your perfect location, it would interesting to know the reasons for the move, and the choice of location when anywhere was potentially an option. If you would like to share of course. Private life and all that. :-)
As good as your content is (both education as well as entertaining) I'm surprised you don't have a million subscribers! Keep up the good work and you'll be there in no time. I'm completely interested in this Nova Scotia thing you're teasing, as well as the Gibbs & Hardcastle gig (you know I couldn't resist!!)
Another superp Vlog mate. Well if you do go for Nikon, get the FTZ mount so that you get the best of the F mount lenses from Nikon as well. Adam had his trusty old D850 out this morning and the RAW files were scrumptious.
You drove Adam to it. Or at least you should have, he'd have gotten there faster. To me it looked as if the branch wa s flicking you the Vs. I knew maples tasted good, who knew that also had such good taste 😉 That pano looked as if she had just walked into a wardrobe and that, just off screen, was an overgrown streetlight. A pure fantasy vibed shot.
Awesome video as always but sad there won’t be more often videos with you and Adam. Best of luck in your new location and hope you will like a switch to Nikon, I’ve been with Nikon for 17 years and never had a single failure. Can’t wait for another vlog of yours!
I agree with everyone that the shot with Amanda is definitely a keeper. Cant wait for Newfoundland All the best renovating the new property there will be lots of surprises in your 100 yr old dwelling some good some challenging as I know from experience all I can say is just enjoy the ride.
So excited to hear you're coming to Atlantic Canada! If there's any help needed for scouting epic locations here in Newfoundland Gavin, you know how to find me on here or the terrible gram. Best of luck with the move and I cannot wait to see the show.
Just when I sadly thought the Gavin & Adam shenanigans would now be rare occurrences, you announce the upcoming “Hardcastle & Gibbs” series. It will be one more reason to look forward to the Christmas season. If Amanda is homesick for the west coast, she can console herself with the lack of grizzlies in the Maritimes. She’ll only have to contend with black bears (the polar bear found 2 days ago in Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula being a freak occurrence). After working daily with coworkers from Campbellton to St John, Edmundston to Halifax for nearly 20 years and spending many summer vacations on the east coast, I can assure the both of you will appreciate the warmth and sense of humour of the people you will meet. Best of luck with your renovation project and new photoshoot hunting grounds.
Did you notice my books are back in stock now? www.fototripper.com/chasing-awe-landscape-photography-book-gavin-hardcastle/

That pano with Amanda was👌 Pumped for Hardcastle & Gibbs!!
The pink jacket shot was amazing. That should be on the wall. Like wandering in a fairy tale. Great way to say goodbye, but hopefully you and the gang will have many many more encounters in the future. Looking forward to Hardcastle and Gibbs, although it sounds like the title for a cop show or a law firm. And even more incongruous - you bought a church?

Love the outtakes. Good tips too. Got one of your books, before Adam got them. Enjoy Nova Scotia..looking forward to the new videos.
Moob straps, lmao.
Loved the images, the one where the light was kicking off as you were doing a piece to camera was lovely. The pink jacket shot too.
Super excited to watch the both of you in my home province of NL.

Like many others I think the pano shot of Amanda in her pink jacket works wonderfully. Looking forward to seeing your adventures on the east coast and hope that your move works our well for you both.
Too much fun! Thanks. I'd love to know how many takes it took for the "gift" scene. I think the picture of Amanda at 13:30 had enough space in the middle for both of you, maybe next time. Nice job capturing such a challenging subject to my eye. Best of luck with the rehab.
Another fantastic video from Hardcastle and crew. Thanks for all the information and entertainment over the years. Hope you still inform and entertain us with your new adventures. Best to you and Amanda with your home project.
Subject is so key in photography, but it takes a master to make it shine.
Loved all of the pics in this vid. Gavin and Grumpy are part of the elite, landscape photography wise and it shows in the careful way they recce and compose individual shots. Awesome stuff!
I’m pretty good at wildlife and portrait photography, because its about predicting movement half the time, but I’d butcher these landscapes with bad decisions.
Perhaps the most melancholy parting! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
You guys crack me up!!!! LOL! Thanks for the laughs!! Nova Scotia huh?! You can help them select the new tree to send down to Boston this Christmas! Some photographic options! LOL! They cut one down somewhere in Nova Scotia.......... BTW.. Love the moss tree images! 😁
going to miss seeing you when I go grocery shopping :( good luck. Thank you for all the info and the great laughs.
I’m with you Adam, I think it should Gibbs and Hardcastle 🤣🤣. Thanks for the free copy of Gavin’s book to.
This was an awesome video, I loved every minute. I laughed and smiled so much at the end that my face hurts😂. Thanks for another great video.
A church! That's a bit gothic. I'll miss your escapades with Adam, but I'm looking forward to seeing some new landscapes in your new home. Good luck to you both. 😀
Looking forward to watching your adventures on the east coast.
Wonderful content and beautiful photos as usual. Good luck on your move!
Great idea - reminds me of Starsky and Hutch haha
Another great video, if a little sad that there won't be as many Gibbs and Har, I mean Hardcastle and Gibbs vids. ;-) Vancouver Island seemed like your perfect location, it would interesting to know the reasons for the move, and the choice of location when anywhere was potentially an option. If you would like to share of course. Private life and all that. :-)
This is the best one that you have done since the last one!
I am going to miss your frequent collaboration with Uncle Grumpy. Looking forward to this new video project.
Can’t wait until Adam moves in with you in Nova Scotia. Also, I’m impressed you guys pronounced Newfoundland correctly.
As good as your content is (both education as well as entertaining) I'm surprised you don't have a million subscribers! Keep up the good work and you'll be there in no time. I'm completely interested in this Nova Scotia thing you're teasing, as well as the Gibbs & Hardcastle gig (you know I couldn't resist!!)
I'm sure Thomas Heaton would be up for writing the forward in Grumpy's book. 😂
Another superp Vlog mate. Well if you do go for Nikon, get the FTZ mount so that you get the best of the F mount lenses from Nikon as well. Adam had his trusty old D850 out this morning and the RAW files were scrumptious.
Always a great watch and of course some amazing photos too.
You drove Adam to it. Or at least you should have, he'd have gotten there faster.
To me it looked as if the branch wa s flicking you the Vs. I knew maples tasted good, who knew that also had such good taste
😉
That pano looked as if she had just walked into a wardrobe and that, just off screen, was an overgrown streetlight. A pure fantasy vibed shot.
Awesome video as always but sad there won’t be more often videos with you and Adam. Best of luck in your new location and hope you will like a switch to Nikon, I’ve been with Nikon for 17 years and never had a single failure. Can’t wait for another vlog of yours!
I agree with everyone that the shot with Amanda is definitely a keeper.
Cant wait for Newfoundland
All the best renovating the new property there will be lots of surprises in your 100 yr old dwelling some good some challenging as I know from experience all I can say is just enjoy the ride.
This was a great episode with the whole crew ;-) Like it. Can't wait to see you and Uncle Grumpy rock the show ;-)
Great video of the bunch, Gavin.
So excited to hear you're coming to Atlantic Canada! If there's any help needed for scouting epic locations here in Newfoundland Gavin, you know how to find me on here or the terrible gram. Best of luck with the move and I cannot wait to see the show.
Just when I sadly thought the Gavin & Adam shenanigans would now be rare occurrences, you announce the upcoming “Hardcastle & Gibbs” series. It will be one more reason to look forward to the Christmas season. If Amanda is homesick for the west coast, she can console herself with the lack of grizzlies in the Maritimes. She’ll only have to contend with black bears (the polar bear found 2 days ago in Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula being a freak occurrence). After working daily with coworkers from Campbellton to St John, Edmundston to Halifax for nearly 20 years and spending many summer vacations on the east coast, I can assure the both of you will appreciate the warmth and sense of humour of the people you will meet. Best of luck with your renovation project and new photoshoot hunting grounds.
Already the people have been lovely.
