My daughter rolled her eyes, let out an “…ugh” when you said, “Lichen… subscribe.” The second time she busted out laughing. I think she is ashamed that she has the same sense of humor! 😜
I learn English watching your videos, Gavin. Thanks for the word 'ornate'. The number of times you mentioned it helped it sink deep into my memory. This word will live with me forever now along with ''magnefiqwah' and 'refleksion'. I hope this is the right spelling 😁
I think I measured 7 repetitions of ornate... but my incredibly annoying neighbour fell off his roof extension and the laughter reverberating through every pore of me temporarily killed my attention. Please don't ask me whether he was ok... Someone screamed so I think it was all in hand. Amusement aside, GH has got to be one of the most natural UA-camrs out there. Not only is the education aspect of his content generally superior to other photography channels (Fro, Northrops, Kai W, Manny Ortiz and numerous others)... his natural and engaging humour elevates the experience. So much more professional, even when he isn't trying. Grumpton is always a great addition as well... even if it's just a mention.
I really like this image. For some reason the post process work seems a little different than the way you used to do your trees and forests in the fog in the past. I think it looks more real and there's no strong distinctions in the photos stacking or the blendings. Also I like that you left a little more shadows and strong distinct contrast lines in the foreground tree rather than raising the shadows too high. I think it's a mistake that a lot of people make they're afraid to leave shadows in the imagery. I think it looks more real and appearance intends to give it more of a moody look. Great job!
Great video of a fabulous woodland the fog really does bring out the character of old trees they tell a story the way they seem to interact with each other giving a chance to get some great images and just being able to enjoy the experience with your lovely lady Amanda as always great video class photography thanks Gavin
A great video...I had never thought about focusing on one tree and have the background blurred out...genius! You two really make watching these videos fun...really a great team! The reaction on Amanda's face when you were sniffing/licking the Aero paper was simply priceless!
I think your second shot of the Garry Oak was awesome, that 55mm f1.8 was a great choice ! probably one of the best woodland shots you have done, I bet grumpy was, well grumpy when he saw that one !!
What a beautiful vlog. The pictures are so nice. I love your vlogs very much when you together with Amanda. You both are so cute. Thank you Gavin for this wonderful vlog and pictures.
What a perfect setting/video for a lazy daylight savings Sunday. We had some cool fog/frost recently in Calgary that I took advantage of for some car photography. Definitely wish we got more fog here. Great Video Gavin!
Lovely images. Glad you got the fog. I suppose fog is hard to predict in some areas. It sure seems to help separate out the subjects. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the Video, Gavin. I so appreciate your humor. 13 "ornates" by my count: 6 before the challenge, the challenge intro and 6 after. Nicely done!
Double Decker bars. Fruittella. Twirl Bars. Lion bars. Sherbert Fountain. Crispello bars. Jaffa Bars. Jelly Babies. Fruit Pastilles. All good ----- but wait you cant get them in Canada ;) But you do have some lovely trees and fog and captured some top class images .
You finally ventured into Adam's Forest. He's really fond of that gnarly oak. What a terrific shoot. That image at 14:40 is just...how is it that you, Brits, say?... spectacular!
man im jealous. you got such amazing forrests in your area. awesome stuff. this was the first video i have watched related to photography in quite some time. good to see your still up to your old shinanigans. to be honest i was surprised there wasnt a plug to your book in this one.
@@fototripper i have to admit i did enjoy the shameless plugs for the book. you definately went above and beyond to advertise them. i wonder how many you had grumpton destroy to promote them.
@@fototripper oh no! i just found out F4 is no longer a thing. to be honest makeing me a bit emotional. i could never afford the course at the time but it was on my bucket list to get it one day when my situation improved. and i guess i just assumed it would always be around. i guess some things just werent meant to be. i still love each one of you guys different styles and will continue to watch all 4. each one of you is an inspiration. this is what i get for not watching photography videos for 6 months. i wish each one of you the best of success and i hope you all keep doing what you love. that video btw was hillarious with the filters and stuff. couldnt get over adams teeth. as homage to f4 i will dedicate one day a week to each one of you and turn off my add blocker and hit play all while im at work so you get a full 8 hours of solid ad revinue. starting with you gavin.
Excellentay . Really like how you cropped the oak tree that's touching the ground (you said it may have supported itself at one point). So you get the width, but lose the empty foreground.
I think I am gonna have to stop watching your videos 😳 it’s not what You think!!! I am freaken joules!!! You’re a legend!! It’s amazing to watch you at work
You said it 14 times. 😁 Keep up the great content. Love it. My girlfriend and I enjoy watching for obvious reasons. Great photographer but how you two are is amazing and we love seeing it. God bless and keep doing well.
Nice video. 16:43 that was the shot I'd have grabbed. Well done for including humour.. Too many photography channels take themselves a little too seriously. There was only one use of one word.. "Buggerlugs". My mum used to call my wife's brother that.. Never heard it used by anyone else.. Made me smile... Subscribed... 👍
Gavin! I think I have found and will be hitting it off with a lady as mad, funny and wonderful ad Amanda... Fingers crossed for she is just as much fun!
I do enjoy your videos and this one did not disappoint ! It deserved more than a 5 ornate rating! Btw, please thank Amanda for the Unicorn tucked away in the book, it was a nice addition.
A bakers dozen... 13. I should say... 6 before the challenge, 1 in the challenge and 6 after it. Loved the shots. Some of them almost looked Ent-like. I'm sure Amanda noticed that too. :)
I bough 4 Easter eggs this week and hid them in the garage. Nice and cold in there and out of sight, or so I thought. I found a Twirl egg box and a large Galaxy egg box in the recycling. When confronting the wife little did I realise it was my fault for buying them in the first place so she told me. "If I know it's there I'll eat it", she said. Fair play, I thought. I never ever tell her when I'm buying camera gear. That is is an unwritten rule in photography circles. First rule of photography, What the wife doesn't know can't hurt you.
You said Ornate seven times to my reckoning! Mint Aero is much gobblier than regular! Although if I could just get me hands on a Crunchie or a Curly Wurly! Oh God I need a fix!
I'm wondering....at 10:58+ if you play around with the hue and saturation, the blues (fog) might 'pop' a little bit more? Just keep an eye on the sharpness as well.
I really liked the old tree you were shooting, but the video captured something that could have been truly remarkable if taken as an image. Perhaps, if you get fog again, you could revisit it. At 4 minutes and 6 seconds in, thereabouts, the angle of the video shows what looks to me like a "Great Tree Elk with super large antlers" looking down upon the three younglings. Yeah, I know, Monday Night quarterbacking here, but, since you like to visit places multiple times, you might be back in the fog :O
old trees in underachieving rain.... *yawn* ... until Amanda brightened it all up... :) This may be the most gnarly ornate video I've ever seen... totally tubular, dude...

Do you know if the local council or forestry dept ever go into these forests and plant new trees to replace the dying ones? Thanks
Gavin you cease to amaze me, how your able to distinguish a Garry Oak from say a Bob, Henry or Steve is beyond me🤗

We went to Shoot Hackfall woods and I got some awsome shots in fog, it makes for a magical experience! It minded me of how ornate everything was!
Lucky 13 mate :-)
The shot at 9:00 was processed so ornately
What a stunning spot to explore despite being aero’d !!
Love that 55mm shot of the old tree.
She’s great, man. You definitely picked a winner there.
Amanda is thinking of the shot you should be taking… give her a camera, love to see her perspective on your shared locations 😊
You should of seen what was in the other pocket ✌️ Cheers for thee lift you two, all for the price on an aero 😉, that 35mm GM took a cracking shot 😁
I might have to buy one...
@@fototripper Plenty of bang for your buck👍
I love the mist filter you’re using… 😝
Love the first tree shot with the 55mm lens Gavin.
I really like this image. For some reason the post process work seems a little different than the way you used to do your trees and forests in the fog in the past.

Oh, and yes, I love how your compositions “pull me off”. So to speak…
I knew it!
Oooh I liked this a lot! Big old twisted oaks and fog! And you did not disappoint! Last shot was my fav. Thanks G Master Hardcastle 😍🙏
I ALWAYS watch to the end. Ornate x 6. Love the muted colours. 👍🦘
Líquen/ like 😁👌!!! That 55 1.8... absolutely stunning!!! And Amanda ate the Aero 😁😁
That tree sure is a sculpture! Its another Sunday fun time with you two again!
Thank you Gavin. Couldn’t remember how many times as at my age remembering my name is difficult. Enjoyed. Stay safe.🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Every time I see any lichen now, all I will be able to think about is "like and subscribe". Thank you for these vlogs and helping people smile.
Beautiful photos of the old oak trees. 👍🙂
Hey Gavin...
GREAT video!! I really liked it! 😎
I counted 6 ornates from the time you mentioned it, until the end of the video!
My friend Nate had a good video on gnarly trees. It’s a good one. Not sure which is better - this ornate’s.
Wow dude...that tree! Epic shot.
Orn8. The images look they are shot in 3D. Fantastic images and great to watch.👍🙂
Great video of a fabulous woodland the fog really does bring out the character of old trees they tell a story the way they seem to interact with each other giving a chance to get some great images and just being able to enjoy the experience with your lovely lady Amanda as always great video class photography thanks Gavin
That lichen gag is an "old man's beard"!
Enjoyed this one Gavin, some cracking images thanks for sharing, I counted 13 times. Thanks for sharing
You’re the king of composition, Gavin. My lovely pano mono shot arrived in the mail on Friday. It’s magnifique!
wOOHOO Glad you enjoyed it Peter :)
A great video...I had never thought about focusing on one tree and have the background blurred out...genius! You two really make watching these videos fun...really a great team! The reaction on Amanda's face when you were sniffing/licking the Aero paper was simply priceless!
I was in the UK New Forest today taking shots. This very much looks like the NF, lots of old twisted oaks and lots of moss.
I think your second shot of the Garry Oak was awesome, that 55mm f1.8 was a great choice ! probably one of the best woodland shots you have done, I bet grumpy was, well grumpy when he saw that one !!
What a beautiful vlog. The pictures are so nice. I love your vlogs very much when you together with Amanda. You both are so cute. Thank you Gavin for this wonderful vlog and pictures.
Fantastic start Gavin on the pun Lichen and Love the photo and the video too good on you Wee Rab Scotland PS thanks .
What a beautiful tree in a magnificant forest! And great shots, as always! Greetz from Austria
It was 13, times. Keep up the great work Gavin I love your photography it really inspires me to go out with my camera.
Digging the 55mm wide open shots. I use my 50 mm prime wide open often. They really do just pull you in with gorgeous shots. Just fantastic man!
What a perfect setting/video for a lazy daylight savings Sunday. We had some cool fog/frost recently in Calgary that I took advantage of for some car photography. Definitely wish we got more fog here. Great Video Gavin!
7 including your initial mention of "ornate". Images were amazing, class as always Gavin!
Another great watch with fantastic images. 😃
Gnarly, a word not used enough i feel, and an epic shot Gavin!!
Ode to Thomas Heaton? 🤣 Wonderful content! I like the tone color that you applied to the images. Thanks for sharing, Gavin.
Love that second image - the one taken with the 50mm. Hope to see you shoot more with it.
The tree at 9:20 is so beautifully captured! 😍
Lovely images. Glad you got the fog. I suppose fog is hard to predict in some areas. It sure seems to help separate out the subjects. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the Video, Gavin. I so appreciate your humor. 13 "ornates" by my count: 6 before the challenge, the challenge intro and 6 after. Nicely done!
Bingo!
I really enjoyed the video. Nice walk through and composition thoughts with a bit of comedy skittered in. Really enjoyed it, thank you.
really enjoyed that Gavin, liked your distance footage and great quality.....
Some brilliant shots there Gavin, enjoyed it as always
Lovely scenery👍👍
Double Decker bars.
Fruittella.
Twirl Bars.
Lion bars.
Sherbert Fountain.
Crispello bars.
Jaffa Bars.
Jelly Babies.
Fruit Pastilles.
All good ----- but wait you cant get them in Canada ;) But you do have some lovely trees and fog and captured some top class images .
Fantastic compositions. Beautiful with the music. 💪
I agree, I grew up with a 55/1.8 on my 35mm Mamiya, it's a great focal length!
PS: I counted 6 ornates
Thank you for the lesson on composition. I will put it to use!
You finally ventured into Adam's Forest. He's really fond of that gnarly oak. What a terrific shoot. That image at 14:40 is just...how is it that you, Brits, say?... spectacular!
I think you mean my forest ;)
That was a lot of fun, thanks. I like the haunting pics.
man im jealous. you got such amazing forrests in your area. awesome stuff. this was the first video i have watched related to photography in quite some time. good to see your still up to your old shinanigans. to be honest i was surprised there wasnt a plug to your book in this one.
I have been slacking in that department due to low stocks.
@@fototripper i have to admit i did enjoy the shameless plugs for the book. you definately went above and beyond to advertise them. i wonder how many you had grumpton destroy to promote them.

I really liked the (Pocket?) shot @ 16:44 when you touch the beautifully lit tree on path the down the hill… just sayin 😀 Thanx as always.
Because of your videos, I asked my niece living in London to bring me a Twirl bar for Christmas. I hadn't ever seen one in the US. Very tasty!
My work here is done.
Loved this video Gavin. Something different from you but the filming is spot on . .really immerses you in the experience. Well done mate.
It’s so hard to keep up with the 13 or so times you said ornate when your work is so inspiring!! ❤️❤️🤪
Bingo ;)
Really love the pano shot - great! Enjoying your channel.
Excellentay .
Really like how you cropped the oak tree that's touching the ground (you said it may have supported itself at one point). So you get the width, but lose the empty foreground.

Almost ;)
Loved the video and the images. I almost thought you were going to break out into some House of Pain then for a minute. Great stuff.
Nice video.
16:43 that was the shot I'd have grabbed.
Well done for including humour..
Too many photography channels take themselves a little too seriously.
There was only one use of one word.. "Buggerlugs".
My mum used to call my wife's brother that..
Never heard it used by anyone else..
Made me smile...
Subscribed... 👍
I just love the second shot!
Gavin! I think I have found and will be hitting it off with a lady as mad, funny and wonderful ad Amanda... Fingers crossed for she is just as much fun!
Good luck...
@@fototripper Thank you sir 🤗 and I know Amanda is not 'mad', she's lovely and I hope you both have a great future together and laugh every day...
I do enjoy your videos and this one did not disappoint ! It deserved more than a 5 ornate rating! Btw, please thank Amanda for the Unicorn tucked away in the book, it was a nice addition.
Yes I reckon people enjoy the sticker as much as the book ;)
@14:30 is my fav shot. Great stuff Gavin!
What a magical place.
This video was amazing. I enjoy all of the images.
2nd shot is extraordinary.
Stunning images buddy, nice to see someone shooting wide open as well
A bakers dozen... 13. I should say... 6 before the challenge, 1 in the challenge and 6 after it. Loved the shots. Some of them almost looked Ent-like. I'm sure Amanda noticed that too. :)
You are a winner.
@@fototripper As are you.. now you just need that trophy Grumpy keeps showing off. 😃
9.20 magic . I got 5 times? Thumbs up 👍👍
Lucky 13 :) Great images, thanks for the episode! :)

I really liked the photo with the liken.... subscribe.......never gets old! 😅
It would be useful if you went through each of the focal points you selected on the focus stack you are doing on the first tree.
Was a really good video I counted 13 times the word ornate was said & I love the fog around the trees 🙂
Bingo!
You are the fun-guide of landscape photography! I am lichen this video, it's so, what's the word? Valuable morels. ;-) Aero, get in touch...
Hey Gavin, I got my Shimoda action x50! and i'm freaking lovin it ! Thanks for the -10% ;) Again as allways your videos are a joy to watch :D
Absolutely love all the images from this video. Just stunning. The editing is wonderfully moody and gloomy.
Um... 8 ornates?
You said Ornate seven times to my reckoning! Mint Aero is much gobblier than regular! Although if I could just get me hands on a Crunchie or a Curly Wurly! Oh God I need a fix!
You won me back at Crunchie but then lost me at Curly Wurly.
Finally first !!!!!!!! Love the channel...
Just discovered your channel. Love it !!!!
Think you used the word ornate 13 times. Brilliant video as always mate. Just love your photography.
Woohoo tips I can actually use! We have trees and fog!
WOW. i watch all your videos, it is fantastic and very helpful. u said on it 8 times
Then I reckon you should watch again just for accuracy...
I'm wondering....at 10:58+ if you play around with the hue and saturation, the blues (fog) might 'pop' a little bit more? Just keep an eye on the sharpness as well.
Ha!! I like the whole lichen subscribe bit. It kills me every time🤣
That first tree looks like a dragon!
I really liked the old tree you were shooting, but the video captured something that could have been truly remarkable if taken as an image. Perhaps, if you get fog again, you could revisit it.

0:49 Ah the trusty beautiful tripod holder! Man they're hard to find!
Just Wow!
