Thought the same thing. Alex definitely isn’t the type for wearing a nose ring. It doesn’t fit. Blue and yellow are complementary colours and can be combined. But that nose ring is like yellow and magenta, it causes eye cancer 🤪
@@woarbaem I always throw myself first into consideration and ask myself „Could I wear tattoos?" (even if I myself liked to get some and many people are nudging me towards it). - The answer I must always give to myself is „Definitely not! No way!". - It simply doesn’t fit. 😄
@@rolandrickphotography my comment was refering to davelindeys - not yours ;) i totaly understand your point that you wouldnt get a tattoo, but why judge someone by their looks? Maybe people wear rings, tattoos, a necklace or whatever, because they mean something to them and they like them?
Your photos in this episode were “good” and “nice”, Sophia is beautiful! Great fun today and I am happy for you. And your images were way better than good! Thanks for taking me along!
I will never understand UA-camrs using the lens hood incorrectly like at 9:17. If you use it correctly, it’s the best protection for the front element and avoids lens flare. The neutral or skylight filter is no protection at all. If you bump the lens into a corner, the filter and front element are gone. For the record, never happened to me. But saw it often.
Get well soon. At 16:38 Sophia isn’t hard to impress, it’s exactly the opposite. Sitting there, she does the only right thing, she absorbs the moment and it’s impressions. Being in sync with nature. 😊 Best for heart and soul. Supercharging resilience. 😌
Amazing unique shots, keep going! You and Sofia are so cute together. And a small recommendation - maybe from time to time try to make her a compliment or try to vibe with her opinion. Probably you are doing it behind the camera, but it will be very nice if you do it once in a while on camera too ;P It is just as cool as the contrast photography - guffy vs nice/romantic, smarty vs self sarcasm, etc.
Morning Alex and Sophia, The rental van looks very nice, should make traveling easier. Your photos are great as always, the scenery was wonderful and I’m impressed with Sophia.
Such beautiful scenery and photography. Breathtakingly wonderful ! Here in Australia we are surely not short of great scenery and locations but nothing like what you showed in your video. Great, enjoyed watching it. Carl 🇦🇺
Great video, Alex! I’m really happy things are looking so up for you. You should be proud for hanging in there. Sophia is a delight. We’ll be doing the trip in early May so this gets me more excited.
Nice to meet Sophia. Looks like beautiful scenery with all the snow. A place I have always wanted to visit along with the others in the area. Like you, I have even thought about flying into Vegas and renting. Who did you rent the Van from?
This is the first time I watched one of you videos. I’ve seen you with the Hardcastle guy but never saw your photos. Nice shots! Glad you’re a Canon guy. It lets me see what an R7 can do with landscapes.
Don't worry about the tomatoes. I never liked them either but now I add these small mini tomatoes to fried eggs myself out of my own accord! So just saying, you'll learn to love them too! Don't worry about it! 😜
Loved Sophia! Sweet, good natured, chill, fun, funny, put up with your sh*t, intelligent, well spoken, and added everything. Star of the show, 💯 %! Sophia for Prime Minister!
Good morning Alex 🌈 Hi Sophia. Photos 2 & 4 are my favourites. Hope you are all better soon. Equal parts honey and lemon juice is very soothing for colds.
Great video, so many fantastic shots. I particularly loved the pano with the clouds , snow and light. And hopefully you Sophia sticks around for awhile, I think she will be a nice addition to the channel
I think Sophia doesn’t need defending. She seems very capable of handling her own….ie tomatoes….ie I was going to talk about trees….I would not categorize your banter as “belittling” As you e probably already done, discuss with her and decide how’d you like to present yourselves as a couple, but be true & authentic to you both…which I think you were! Moving on"…I absolutely loved the sunrise photos, had they been taken outside of winter…not so much….overly done….but snow and bracketing 👍🏻🌟 Feel better
I was thinking “Geeze, he’ll take pictures of just about anything!” Then the sun hit the scenery! O.M.G. What a shot! Loved the detail and the light was amazing! I heard you’re shooting with the R7. What was the other camera you’re using?
Sophia is a wonderful add, best wishes for your future. tomatoes are a nice source for vitamin C. and wow she makes some awesome looking meals. my wife when i first started dating her and i pointed out the sunset said if you’ve seen one you’ve seem em all. and now she points em out to me.
Great video. I am heading to that area in February. If I get half as good a light as you did I will be thrilled. I really like your sidekick, she definitely adds to your boring videos. 😂 JK! Your videos have never been boring, but she definitely adds to them.
Good job Alex, you really shine when you are out of the shadow of the stinky footed umm Fototripper, hahaha. Eat your veggies and the Icks won't hit you so hard. let the lady take care of you. Great shots, Bryce never fails to impress and awe. My wife and I visited on our month long honeymoon in Oct 2016.
Put Sophia in the selfie takes in front of you and she doesn’t need to tiptoe. Tomatoes, listen to her and eat them. They are super healthy and prophylactic against many things (no medical advice, I’m no MD, common knowledge). There is no link in the description to her channels. As far as I get it, “listen to her” is most probably generally a good advice. 🤭😉
Hopefully it’s not Covid, fever. We got sick flying without masks, stupid, and wrecked our vacation. Covid is like a landmine waiting to happen. Beautiful pictures, nice van, looks like you may have a travel partner.
Lose the nose ring dude. Gives landscape photographers a bad name!
To each their own.

It's nice to meet Sophia, she is lovely and I'd say she's a keeper!
oh she is :)
1. I love tomatoes
2. Sophia is a delight
3. Great photos, especially the sunrise
4. Feel better!!
Disagree with 1, strongly agree with 2 :)
There are a few hoodoos around Banff, and even more impressive, near Drumheller, both in Alberta.
Also in BC near Fairmont
good to know!
Your photos in this episode were “good” and “nice”, Sophia is beautiful! Great fun today and I am happy for you. And your images were way better than good! Thanks for taking me along!
Thanks Randy. She really is :)
that drive from Brice to Escalante is incredible. Capital Reef is so cool!!
You both 😂 fit together Hardcastle & Amanda 2 !!! Beautiful photos ❤❤ keep it up!
thank you!

Hi Sophia, she's lovely Alex, hope you guys find happiness and fun together. Great video and photos 👍
Thanks Marty!
Feel better, Alex! Great video...and Sophia is a sweetheart! Well done all the way around! Eat those tomatoes! 😄📸👍🏾
shhhh no tomatoes!
@@AlexArmitage 🤣😄🤣
Enjoyed the video Alex, super fotos and drone footage and of course good music. Nice to meet Sophia too, hope to see much more of her.
I hope to see more of her too!
Get better soon champ!!
Just listen to her! 😆
Beautiful photos Alex. Sophia is lovely. Good times. Tomatoes are awesome!

Morning Alex and Sophia,
The rental van looks very nice, should make traveling easier. Your photos are great as always, the scenery was wonderful and I’m impressed with Sophia.
You and me both Hugh!
Hiya Sophia :) Great vlog and excellent photographs. This looks like a stunning part of the world.
Such beautiful scenery and photography. Breathtakingly wonderful ! Here in Australia we are surely not short of great scenery and locations but nothing like what you
showed in your video. Great, enjoyed watching it. Carl 🇦🇺
Thanks Carl!
Great episode despite not feeling well. Gorgeous images! And you can't go wrong with a few Gavin/Amanda vibes. I wish you well on all levels!!
Thanks so much Juanita!
Great video, Alex! I’m really happy things are looking so up for you. You should be proud for hanging in there. Sophia is a delight. We’ll be doing the trip in early May so this gets me more excited.
Ah exciting! Good luck David
Love the shots of Bryce Canyon, stunning.
Thank you!
Sophia is awesome!!!
Chiricahua National Monument in southeast Arizona also has hoodoos.
Nice to meet Sophia. Looks like beautiful scenery with all the snow. A place I have always wanted to visit along with the others in the area. Like you, I have even thought about flying into Vegas and renting. Who did you rent the Van from?
Indie campers this time around but theres a couple options. I would have picked a different place if it wasn't for the heater.
This is the first time I watched one of you videos. I’ve seen you with the Hardcastle guy but never saw your photos. Nice shots! Glad you’re a Canon guy. It lets me see what an R7 can do with landscapes.
Welcome and thanks :) I shoot on it from time to time for photos
I liked the early morning shot the most! Thanks for your videos! Hope you get well soon!
All good now :)
It's so beautiful. I've been to the Grand Canyon when there was still some snow, and it was beautiful too.
I totally agree!
Don't worry about the tomatoes.
I never liked them either but now I add these small mini tomatoes to fried eggs myself out of my own accord!
So just saying, you'll learn to love them too! Don't worry about it!
😜
I like cooked tomatoes!
Loved Sophia! Sweet, good natured, chill, fun, funny, put up with your sh*t, intelligent, well spoken, and added everything. Star of the show, 💯 %!
Sophia for Prime Minister!
Definitely the start of the show :)
Good morning Alex 🌈 Hi Sophia. Photos 2 & 4 are my favourites. Hope you are all better soon. Equal parts honey and lemon juice is very soothing for colds.
I spoke too soon 😊. The ones at the end were the best!
Haha thanks Linda! Which one?
6- I like one side of the road in light and the other in shadow. But my absolute favourite is the last one.
Wow what a sunrise shot!!
Which one!?
Great video, so many fantastic shots. I particularly loved the pano with the clouds , snow and light. And hopefully you Sophia sticks around for awhile, I think she will be a nice addition to the channel
I hope so too :)
Excellent video Alex! Bryce and Highway 12 absolutely provide endless visual delights and your drone footage is a cool bonus.
What a drive!

Thank you Rae. This means a lot and I think you nailed it :)
Glad to meet Sophia. Hello Sofia. Hope you feel better. Sophia isn't sick maybe eat your tomatoes...lol. Great images & video. Thank you
Thanks Patrick!

R7 and R5. Thanks Dean!
Finally, a sunset (completely socked in) like i often get! 😏 get well, and nice to meet your lady.
Oh I get plenty of those, they just don't make it to camera lol
Beautiful location... it's on my list! thanks for bringing us along!
You're welcome!
Great video Alex as always. Sophia is so sweet..!!!
Shes the best :) im biased though
Sophia is a wonderful add, best wishes for your future. tomatoes are a nice source for vitamin C. and wow she makes some awesome looking meals. my wife when i first started dating her and i pointed out the sunset said if you’ve seen one you’ve seem em all. and now she points em out to me.
goal is to get a "wow" one day! :)
music name plz? or artist... and great photos with beautiful light!
I think it's Pebble Hayes
Really great video and photos 👍🔥🙂
Thank you 🙌
@@AlexArmitage 👍
Much preferred the wide shots of sunrise the 55mm were too tight.
Noted! I preferred the non-wide haha
Great video, great music, great photo's and I think the tomatoes fixed you! 😉
noooo tomatoes!
@@AlexArmitage 😅
How was your experience with the "rental van"? Did you rent it in Las Vegas?
Yes. The van was good. Just a WB Solis. Pretty straight forward, none of the gauges work but thats normal for an RV
Congrats! She seems like a real sweetie. Waiting for the double date with Fototripper 😂
Maybe that'll happen some day :) haha
Highway 12 in Utah is one of the best drives in America.
Agreed!
Never seen you videos.. But this is the funniest Title EVER! Made med LOL for real.. Hahaha
Haha thank you :)
Great video. I am heading to that area in February. If I get half as good a light as you did I will be thrilled. I really like your sidekick, she definitely adds to your boring videos. 😂 JK! Your videos have never been boring, but she definitely adds to them.
I hope you do too! And she definitely makes things much better.
Canada has Hoodoos. Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park. Not nearly as impressive as Bryce, but kind of cool.
oh good to know!
Good job Alex, you really shine when you are out of the shadow of the stinky footed umm Fototripper, hahaha. Eat your veggies and the Icks won't hit you so hard. let the lady take care of you. Great shots, Bryce never fails to impress and awe. My wife and I visited on our month long honeymoon in Oct 2016.
Haha thank you :)
@AlexArmitage Alex, you have to keep Sophia away from Amanda. I foresee much mayhem if they ever get together! 🙂
Oh, and nice images...
Haha thanks :)
Time to say goodbye... to the 4Runner. You're going to need more space 😀
Haha. We'll see what happens!
hi nice Video and she wasnt impressed 😃
That lens hood...🤦
It's supposed to go on the other way.
So, you've decided to give Gavin a run in the "great landscape photography plus domestic comedy in a van" market? P.S.: I agree about tomatoes.
Hah. No this won't be a comedy channel. Sophia is the funny one.

What’s wrong with tomatoes, apart from the way you pronounce them? 🇬🇧😂
The pictures are great!
Haha. I read this in a different accent!
SOPHIA
ARAS
I agree loose the nose ring or is it a tow hook?
We got some hoodoos in Alberta 🙃
If you ever drop by in romania I will make you tomato soup and tomato salad :D because they are nice & healthy
Haha. I like cooked tomatoes.
Hopefully it’s not Covid, fever. We got sick flying without masks, stupid, and wrecked our vacation. Covid is like a landmine waiting to happen. Beautiful pictures, nice van, looks like you may have a travel partner.
It wasn't Covid thankfully. We are both better now!
Eat tomatoes, lose the nose ring
Since when you got a camper van?? Or you found the right girlfriend! 🤣
Rented!
Shadmoor State Park Long Island NY has some significantly less visually striking hoodoos. Neither of you would be impressed….
LONG island? would have never guessed
NOT impressed with the belittling of Sophia but thoroughly enjoyed the photography part. Just saying.
Aww. It makes me sad that's how it came off :( Maybe it was my editing?
Fully agree to @calmdown888
She do be little 😂
Yo she got an insta?
The answer is becoming less gay!!
