    Gavin this is the type of work that seems to put you in your best element. We’ve watched you for years now, and the images you captured like this from Vancouver Island, along with the constant comedy, have made for hours worth of entertainment and great instruction. I hope you can sense this while on location and during editing. Great work sir, we appreciate you and Amanda so much!

    Gavin deserves something from us viewers. We take it for granted that he makes this authentic and amazing content for us, but for him it’s a living. Let’s all say thank you by buying some of his great products. His book is really a joy! And his courses are truly helpful. Let’s do this!

    Thanks for another great video Gavin. Although your compositions are always rock solid, while watching this video I wondered if you weren't perhaps being a bit overprotective with the waterfall highlights during your editing? The tree roots in the foreground of one of those photos actually had some parts looking brighter than the waterfall? The comp was great and the photo did look amazing, but my brain wasn't able to accept what I was looking at.

  • @cliftonwhittaker260
    @cliftonwhittaker260 Рік тому

    One of your absolute best, Gavin. Beautiful location, beautiful pictures and beautiful Amanda keeping up the banter. Reminds me so much of 31 years ago when my wife and I were your age and we backpacked my Linhoff 4x5 view camera all over the Smoky Mountain NP photographing waterfalls. She carried the food and water and umbrella. I carried about 35 pounds of gear. The umbrella was for the camera of course, not for us, and there was seldom a day that we didn't need it. Anyway, looks like you and Amanda really had a fun trip until those green fumes started rolling out of your boot tops. Oh, BTW, if you come back to this location for the fall colors don't be surprised if that stream has slowed to a trickle in the dry season.

    Love your waterfalls! Keep em coming!I can't believe you were so close to where I live. Ricketts Glen is 2 hours away, and an absolute favorite in spring and fall. You definitely need to return in the fall-and do the whole trail, if you weren't able to get through it this time. Even with no injuries, the trail is a huge challenge. And Adam's Falls is my favorite, too. Safe travels back home!

  • @PhotoJohn80
    @PhotoJohn80 Рік тому +2

    This is my opinion but if you really want the best neutral true to life colors out of the GFX then I would recommend using PRO NEG STD. It is a little flatter and you can always add contrast back in easily. But it is also not nearly as magenta as Provia/Standard is. Provia tends to lean on the warm side. Another great neutral film sim is Eterna. Those are my 2 go to films if I don't want something crazy looking. That is why I actually like my fujifilm so much. You can really get some creative fun shots with the film sims. But I remember you talking about how you liked the greens in the Hasselblad... Well I would give those two film sims a chance since you will get better greens when you take out the magenta:) Just my lonely opinion:)

Love the gear but I'm sure that with your Sony or any other camera you'd be able to do wonders. I'm a sucker for waterfalls as well and I'm planing a visit to the north of my country (Portugal) to shoot some. Love the way you present us your content and your wife is a must on that. See you on your next video. Até à próxima!

    BTW, my first time there I missed the turn to circle back to the lot where I parked and walked out to 118. Imagine my surprise when I realized I went about 2 miles in the wrong direction. Duh.

If photograph has right composition - it is already 90% of success no matter how good it was processed. So, thank you Gavin.

  • @dirtywater5336
    @dirtywater5336 Рік тому +1

    Gavin, you can change the look of the back of the GFX screen with film sims. You’re in Provia/standard mode in this video, which is kind of blah. Put it into Velvia and you’ll get more saturation and contrast that the hasselblad was showing you. Also, to take it even further, you can customize the tones for each film sim to your taste. I boosted the shadows in Velvia, as I feel it’s a bit too contrasty for my taste. Astia is personally my favorite. Perfect balance of color and contrast.
