Winter Photography / The Canadian Rockies
Majestic mountains, snow-covered trees, frozen waterfalls, what could be better? When Gavin Hardcastle invited me to journey out to the Rockies and hang out with other like-minded photographers I jumped at the opportunity. So glad that I did it was a really great trip. Made a few images and made a few new friends, what could be better?

This is like the photography version of Top Gear. Brilliant
That still water in the Natural Bridge photo is stunning. Thanks Adam.
Hello Sir! My first introduction to you and your work. Have really enjoyed ALL the videos from this trip. It's fun seeing the same trip thru the "lens" of four different photographers. Hope you guys get together and do it again at a new location! Maybe somewhere hot and with sand! Seeing Uncle Grumply in Bermuda shorts with knee high dark socks would be hilarious! I bet NicK Page would rock a pair of Speedos!! Thomas's stick legs would shine bright white thru a pair of board shorts. And Gavin.......oh gavin..... LOVE YOU GUYS! :)
The natural bridge looks amazing, scary, but amazing
Boys and their toys...love it!
Really liking this series of videos. I've watched all the other's over the last week and was getting a little concerned. But, here it is early Saturday morning and Adam is caught up! Perfect.
Liked all those videos you guys made. I can understand your feelings Adam, about Images everyone takes, but nevertheless that shot with the Restaurant at `Blue hour` is so gorgeous. I´m excited to see your next video, so I can see where you found that beautiful Image of the Aspen Tree.

Yeah, that was a beautiful shot Adam. I know you wanted something different than the same old picture, but like you said, it had great contrast between the blue and orange, and would make for a great calendar image. I'd love to have that hung up on my wall.
Loved it! Was this all shot on the nose hair trimmer? I'm considering a super light set up for a long distance through hike. I can't believe we didn't go to natural bridge, it looked great. Hope your van gets fixed 👍

Hey Tom! Yeah, I'm impressed with the quality of that little nose trimmer, the audio is not bad either. The only thing that isn't quite as good as what DJI claim is the battery life and in the cold, as you know doesn't last long. The battery is built in so you would have to carry some kind of battery to charge the unit. Other than that I like it a lot. The Van? Oh boy, I have some major repairs in store, the extreme cold is not kind to vehicles that for sure.

Keep up the inspiring images Adam....especially with that mad yorkshireman ...and Mr T.H. ...i live only a few miles from him, but never bumped into him on the Northumberland uk coast ...great vid mate
Lovely work and great chemistry with the group, Mr Grumpy. You use your drone like an artist’s paintbrush. Kudos
You guys are an absolute blast. Hilarious and proof positive that the sum is better than the individual parts. By the way, love your work. It is inspirational. Please make this getting together a ritual. Oh, I don’t care what Gavin says, you don’t seem grumpy - frugal, maybe! Lol!
I really love this one. It almost remindes me of a wintery Christmas.
As I plan my own trip to the rockies this December, your videos give me the inspiration and excitement to brave through the cold :)
Spectacular 5 amigos 😂😂
You have amazing drone video!! Looked like a blast up in the Rockies and happy to hear you found your mojo!
It's winter and many of us are for one reason or another feeling in the doldrums so to speak. I think a few of you guys were feeling it to prior to your trip. So wonderful to see the videos each of you have been sharing with the rest of us. One can only hope in life to have such moments of camaraderie as you all have exhibited. That alone is priceless. Thanks to all for brightening my day.
Great stuff, your new photograph from the natural Bridge cave with the diamond shaped pool of water is much better than your photo from two years ago pointing up towards the top of the cave.
I have enjoyed everyone’s videos so far and you chat in the pub. I am looking forward to watching your videos as well. What a glorious place that was. Snow is so pretty to look at and gives amazing images but it can be so tough to people at the same time. Especially those temperatures you were talking about in the pub.
At least you did not lose images from a once in a life time trip. Great channel thanks for the content.
I must admit sadly I haven't been watching your videos often Adam but I will say that the few that I have seen are absolutely brilliant. Will definitely be paying more attention this year and hopefully I'll improve my craft.
Gorgeous shot of the ice bridge :D Thanks for the video :)
hahaha, like the musical chairs at the end :)

Loving watching all the different perspectives on this collaboration! Uncle Grumpy, lol!
Stunning shot of the ice cave mate
Wow, your images as usual are spectacular, your ability to pick out an image is a true gift
Man that first shot looks like fortress of solitude. Crazy place
Thnx for another great vlog Adam. Cheers
Been waiting for your take on things Adam... Great stuff, thanks for sharing
I love your style of photography, great vlog Adam!
Great vlog Adam. When you said bring a mate are you stuck for friends bringing Gav. (Joke) love the photo where the light hits the trees covered in snow. One place I would love to visit.
Hello Adam, as always loved that drone footage at the beginning of your vlog you are probably, the best in the business at this. Your scenery in Canada as always stunning. 4X4's and winter tyres beyond my remit but great to watch all my favourite vloggers. Memories of a lifetime for you...
Great images Adam. Surely the experience says its words.
Superb Video Adam the locations and photographs are stunning. As usual it's great watching your way of working and hearing your thoughts along the way 👍
Wonderful as always - and what a cast! I also liked the upward images at the natural bridge. Look forward to the next one.
I'm glad you finally posted a video of this trip. It has been extremely interesting to watch each video with the different points of view.
Amazing colors there
Thanks so much for sharing the images and adventure.
I'm so glad you went on this trip. It's great to see four different points of view of the same trip. The Natural Bridge shots are amazing.
I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing this trip as depicted from the different participants. The photography and videography (yours in particular) is stunning. The story-telling and humor are engaging. I'm really glad I "stumbled" onto your and Gavin's and Nick's channels! (have been subscribed to TH for a while)
Love this vlog and the photography!
Great video Adam! I only went to the natural bridge during summer but will definitely go in winter! It’s so beautiful and unique! Cheers.
I’m always inspired by your work. Love your perspective on the trip you all took. 👍🏽
I was looking forward to seeing your perspective on this trip after seeing the other three members in your group and you did not disappoint. Looked like a lot of fun but you can keep that weather in Canada thank you very much although the scenery is absolutely breathtaking and your photos are always top notch.
Since I had never seen that restaurant before (at least I don’t think so) I am very pleased to see it now.
Beautiful images!
Great video, superb images. Thank you for sharing!
I follow all four on youtube and I found the personal perspective of the same landscape very interesting, which gave rise to different photographs. 👍 From Portugal
Great video Adam. Many thanks for sharing. Love the images from Natural Bridge. Suspect they will look amazing in B&W.
Excellent job at isolating and creating rhythm with all those lines in the stone and with the trees Adam. Not easy to do...and yeah, the grand vistas and iconic shots were never really the things I strive to capture because they don't satisfy on an artistic level. Your grumpiness was justified! haha
I found you through Gavin’s channel, great channel. I am adding you as well as Nick as well.
Fab Five Fotos from the Rockies. Gotta love it!
I’ve never seen that restaurant in a photo before. Wonderful image, so inviting 🤗

Great video Adam, I really enjoyed your perspective of things up there.
Great video. Shame about the card reformat but even nicer photos on the way back (I've watched the other videos from this amazing collaboration). About to have a snowstorm here in Ontario so quite inspired to get out when it finishes.
Uncle Grumpy, I've watched all the videos of your traveling companions and now yours. Seems to have been a wonderful time for all. Your video had a thumbs up after 30 seconds, the drone footage is wonderful. Thanks for your insightful tips and comments.
Estáis subiendo una serie de vídeos maravillosos y la verdad es que da gusto veros y las espectaculares imágenes que nos estáis enseñando. Geniales. Felicidades y gracias por mostrar tan buenos momentos. Saludos.

Another great video, Adam! The opening drone footage had me holding my breath, thankfully it wasn't overly long. Until next time, thanks for sharing!
Sorry you lost your images Mate, that really sucks! Glad you had the second chance. Emerald lake might be overdone but what a scenic awe~! The most enjoyable time I have shooting in sunny blue skies is in the mountains after a heavy snow, nothing like the crips contrasts that run into the Golden hour is epic. Look forward to more to come Adam 🍻

Great video as per usual Adam! I understand what you mean with these overdone shots in the Rockies, they have so much more to offer than Morraine lake, Lake Louise, or Emerald Lodge. I have been off trail through hiking in the Rockies for a number of years and the areas that we have ended up in are easily just as pretty but without the crowds! You captured one of those lesser known spots on the Opabin plateau in fall a few years back and I absolutely love those photos.

Hi. I’ve just subscribed your channel and I must confirm that you are such an inspiring photographer as well as a comedy genius :-) hello from Italy
Hey Adam, Great video mate. Again... those drone scenes were great. I love adding that drone aspect to my videos too.... there is just something awesome about introducing an aerial view of a scene/environment. I loved the retrospective aspect on scenes that you've been able to shoot previously but were unlucky on the conditions this time. Looking forward to more mate. Andrew

The scenes may be a bit hackneyed to you, but they are heavenly to us warm weather people! (live in North Carolina). Your work is always inspiring. A black and white of Natural Bridge, with the emphasis on the texture of that limestone wall might be great. thank you for showing us such beautiful places. Inspiring to me, as I look out my window at another gray day of rain and drizzle with gray, formless clouds. Light please!

Been waiting for this to appear having seen the other incumbents efforts :) I think the Uncle G reference is is obviously an endearing sign of Gavin's affection for you, lol. I liked the way you mixed the old with the new images and it became apparent from watching the others that maybe the shoot wasn't entirely what you had hoped for? Must say though you played a great part in those others vlogs in which we see a more comedic Adam. Hope you have still got more of this trip to show from the AG perspective?

I think some of us were in withdrawal since you skipped a post last week Adam. However it was entertaining watching the videos of Thomas, Gavin and Nick during the adventure. Looks like the crew of you had a great time together and perhaps the four of you will reunite sometime in the future.
Wow, was waiting for your vlogs to get online. That natural bridge really looks like a beautiful place. Too bad you deleted your images of it.
Amen with your observation on the 'usual' images.. your version of that restaurant shot is superlative however! I don't have to worry about taking a typical image, as all my shots are within 15 miles of my house thus far 😄 I really need to get out more😁 love your observations as always!
Awesome video uncle Grumpy! Name suits you lol. On a more serious note, really enjoy your content and is looking forward to your next videos from that trip. And I must say, the images from the Natural Bridge is simply stunning.

Enjoyjng your videos Adam , you and Thomas have this eye for something different unique and that may make u seem grumpy but we are all better for the images u take and share. I am alson enjoying Gavin and the gang videos its just awesom the comedy makes it fun to watch. For a while know watching ypur videos it was eating at me that you reminded me of an actor. Maybe Jeremy Irons still working on it
nice to find out why you are called Uncle Grumpy LOL
Cheeky Gavin reminds me of Leigh Francis :D

I’d be grumpy too if I had a premature format. It has been interesting to see the same scenery from four different personalities and perspectives. You’re all very accomplished photographers and even though I’ve been following you all for awhile now, this adventure seems to have brought out the joy in each of you maybe a little bit more. The solitary nature of shooting landscapes is great still but there is nothing like hanging out with like-minded mates, having a coupla pints and a shitload of laughs. Well done Adam!

just FYI, you can still save those images even after a reformat. some might not get rescue but it is always worth the effort. The less you re-use the disk the better. So if it happens again put the card to the side and use an image rescue application when you get back to headquarters/ the cabin or whatever. I have watched all the vids that you and the guys have made on this trip and between you and i, i like your images the best, please don't tell anyone. Cheers
