I really synpathize with your Mum having to do that opening door scene... that must have been tough 😂😂😂

We have to give a lot of credits to Roy for his amazing acting skills 😄 What a fun guy haha

Awesome photography paired with a family of wonderfully endearing characters. I think this was one of the best episodes and that’s no easy feat.

Loved it. Them S bends are slippy as hell. Been on my arse a dozen times now. I find it's all about the landing that gets you a round of applause. Great to see you in Glencoe. My playground.

Kilchurn Castle; Amazing that for 40 years did not need the fence and you could go into the castle and now Heath Safety have taken over; the fence is a mess.

Absolutely love the comedy! You make me laugh about photography! Love it!!! 🥰🥰🥰💥💥💥👋👋👋

Roy cracks me up, the talking sheep cracks me up, the amazing image is awesome and overal it’s again a brilliant video.

Great video once again Gavin, pity about Kilchurn castle though, that fence is putting me off adding it to my bucket list :( . I might go though not to see the castle but to see the talking sheep, that will be much better than a grubby metal fence 😁. Thanks for sharing it with us 😁👍

Yeah, the fence is enough to strike it from future photography trips sadly.

You my friend are a my Master Yoda of photography and awesome humour. Amanda is a Saint. lol. Magnifiqua 😉😎

Thanks for another informative but also very funny adventure 😃 I loved that morning shot of the Castle, just stunning. That sheep was a bit cranky and rude but at least he had the good sense to buy your book👍 Beautiful shots of the amazing landscapes. Awesome long exposure shots at the end of the video.

It's a pleasure to see Hasselblad X2d in action.

Roy’s performance lights this episode as well. I bet the academy will contact him for an Oscar one of these days Great photography too as always 👏👏👏

excellent video!!!! like always and i'm always laughing

Excellent content. Love the humor, Amanda and family are superb. Do it again.

I am hoping to go to Glasgow next summer for the World SF convention, and spend some days after in exploring and photographing Scotland, so this video is positively inspirational for that.

These stupid fences appeared during covid, not just around Kilchurn, but a whole host of Historic Scotland sites. I'm sure St. Andrew's Cathedral and Melrose Abbey amongst others were completely closed to the public in case someone died, and are still shut. They have all been crumbling for centuries and everyone managed to survive, but some consultant made a fortune by surveying them and advising that the public safety is paramount! Fences must go up! I've not paid HES a penny since to enter one of their properties.

I think if I had the money to buy a Hasselblad, I'd keep my Nikon and buy a truck. :)

Gavin, why would you take the fence out, but not the Pylon behind the castle?

I was hiking through the hidden valley between the three sisters on the weekend and the conditions were spectacular! Cloud inversion right at the top over the other side of the mountains. Scotland really is a great sometimes. Cracking vid as always

I went to Kilchurn for the first time this summer and was disappointed to see the fence. I used the old-school clone tool but it took ages. Loved the shot of the two sisters.

What if all of us who enjoy these brilliant videos say thanks to Gavin by supporting him with buying his merchandise? What do you say? Whose in?

Great images, it is a beautiful country.

I'm 15 seconds in and the skidmark joke made me lol. I'm so English.

The sunrise shot of the castle is gorgeous, such an amazing light! I'm a fan of panos as well, nice one there! I own an XPan, bought it over 12 years ago when the prices were still reasonable. Sometimes I think about to sell it and buy the Fuji medium format, which has also a 24x65 aspect ratio, but I'm too afraid that I'll regret it.

Ethical questions here for sure. I'm a bit of a purest. I'd never add a sunstar where the sun never shines through a tree for instance. The hideous fence looks like a temporary installation, as opposed to the power lines and tower in the background which are obviously more permanent. So well done and good call. I personally wouldn't have a problem removing a temporary fence, but I'd call a foul on removing the power line tower. The fence could be gone already, the power line tower will be there for the next 100-200 years. It's all somewhat subjective of course, and anyone can do what they want. But it's a slippery slope ending in AI just throwing together images and people bowing down to their Cyber Overlords. All things are not the same or equal...

The maine issue for me is that it seems to add things (rocks) that was not there in the first place. Just removing the “temporary ” fence would be ok I guess. Adding things is to me for my own use not ok. But I have been leaning more and more towards doing just crop / basic adjustments. As it is then easier to know where the line is, and not go down the rabbit hole of software tools. But I am just a hobbyist, that sometimes put some pictures on the wall.

Bloopers were great and the pics beautiful! Thanks!

Landscape photography in a nutshell: “Getting out in the wet stuff” 😂

I went to this location and lined up a composition very similar. I pressed the shutter and activated the 2 second timer, and after it fired a copy of Chasing Awe with Gavin Hardcastle appeared on the LCD

Fantastic with the Hasselblad 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Wonderful video 😊 I am visiting Clen Coe in February so your videos are a great source of information and inspiration 😀

What a scream Gavin, love your humour, photography not bad either, great stuff!!

Great fun and great photos

The sequence with the disgruntled ol’ cooter of a sheep was absolutely hilarious 😅. Great video, full of humor, and the landscape is gorgeous. Love the xpan format. Thanks for sharing!

Look forward to your vids on Sunday nights, Brilliant they are, keep them coming....👍

what an adorable family you have.

Love that castle image Gavin...looks like you're 3 for 3 there now. And Roy, the man is a comedic genius!!!!

Roy is the best!!!

LOL to the beginning and the bloopers! Love this channel, Amanda, and your parents. Thanks for the laughs and of course, the beautiful pictures.

such a funny beggining haha :)

Thanks for another great video and helpful Neo information.

Funny, entertaining and great images. If each and every person immersed themselves in the enchanting world of "Chasing Awe," our planet would undoubtedly be a more delightful place. Awesome, Gavin. I love your videos.

Always love your unique style 👍

Brilliant!

Quite good, Gavin.

Fantastic content and brilliant humour, keep up the great work.

...love yer level of confidence when you say " and if the image turns out to be any good" etc etc.........

Oooh, I do like a nice warm slice.

Stunning picture.👍📷

Love the bloopers! But also love the scenes you were capturing. Stunning.

Absolutely brilliant video; humour also improved 😮 The camera is out of my price bit but absolutely love the pano ability > I’ll just keep in pano stitching technique I guess 😢 Your images are stunning ~ I use NEO too but hadn’t paid much attention to this capability ~ I will now. Thanks very much for this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great episode ! Technic and fun. Have a nice day Gavin.

Nearly 30mins flew by like it was a couple mins. Love this area would love to go back soon. Fantastic images and skits!!

Loved the video. In the bloopers your mom is the best!

Good to see Gavin has gotten the message, and worked more Amanda in this week. She is the perfect foil!

Another wonderful episode Gavin. Glencoe looks beautiful.

Great sense of humor Gavin, also great shot of the castle. Boy, talk about buzz kill, that fence was a whopper!

Another cracking video, totally love Scotland and dam that Hasselblad X2D looks outstanding well done 🤘😎

Three sisters is amazing, wicked shots! 📸😎

Beautiful shots - love the look of Hasselblad images- the photographer's quite good too.

very nice shots👍👍👍

Nice to see you taking pictures back in the UK.

What a beautiful place. I would love to get there someday. Tresmendous images Gavin. Roy and your mom are hillarious.

Besides the beautiful photos: it was just hilarious again. Thanks for brightening up my day. And yes: it is the best book!!

Hi Neil, camera bags are a funny thing. You always need the space inside them but the more you have the more you need. But if you buy a bag with limited space it makes you think about your trip and the type of photos you are going out for because every bit of space counts. Love this video, always good to see what others use and take with them.

Another classic episode with superb scenery. I love your parents, they’re absolutely brilliant. Nice dream eh Roy 😂 Keep em coming Gavin 👌

Thanks!

Remember when everyone made fun of Luminar? Anyway, Love Scotland. Got the shot of my life in Glencoe. Or maybe the Lighthouse at point Niest was my best?

keep up the great work

you got two images that are perfect and you went back! hi Amanda, got to admit the results were as good if not better than. just shows different view point puts the whole thing into a new zone. thanks for the vid, another great info point, look around or follow the masses, check out the look around. the shots look so friggin good its as if you could touch them.

Please come to Wales soon🙏, your films are the best on you tube period. Thank you for sharing

I love Luminar Neo, it's great at removing electrical wires

Kilchurm Castle , great shot but that power lines behind ???

I can see that you all had a lot of fun making this video, but we can't all afford a Hassleblad, Gavin! The NEO offer had ran out before you posted, btw - Lorne Sausages are much better than fried Mars Bars!

that shot of the 3 sisters is a belta al grab on next time am up that way 👌 PS the “morning roll” wi square sausage is fantastic 👍👌😎

You my man are an absolute belter :)

The sales pitch is one of the best I've seen. Amazing you have any copies left 😂.

Gorgeous images G Love the craic in the videos, "skid marked" underpants 😂😂😂

Loved this video! Subscribed

Great video once again! Went to Iona in 2009 and there was scaffolding everywhere! No lightroom back then either 🤦‍♂️

Mmm sausage roll and hp, munch on that with the fun music from this episode on a loop

Excellent video, Scotland at its best. You drove past Jimmy's old house too......

If everyone had a Hassie and your chasing awe book everything would be sweet 🙂 Always enjoy the content.

Lovely video. Visiting Scotland next May with my family.

Skid marks were definitely from that "sausage roll". Castle would look so pretty with some snow. Stunning pics as per though 😍

Happy xmas to you and Amanda

How you resisted removing that pylon I don’t know. Really good image Gavin. Imagine this image early in the morning.

Aye, ye cannae beat Glencoe. Has to be one of the best drives in UK and has some accessible honeypot shots from car parks. So accessibility for people with disabilities. And as for the sausage it’s a “Lorne sausage” or some call it a “square sausage”… saves awkward faffing about cooking it.. no need to roll it around, just flip it. Stunning shots as always.. Roy and Mum are the stars of the show

always pretty funny

Shortbread and coffee 🤤

Love it Gavin. Though the remove tool in PS does a far better job for me than Neo (which I also use). Remove tool totally makes the spot removal tool void.

No man,,, that is a money shot!

Why take the ugly fence and leave the ugly electricity pylon.

I was wondering if he’d remove it… it’s so small in the frame I guess 🤷 also generative fill in photoshop would probably do just as good a job as luminar.

I thought the same since to my eyes it’s twice as irritating as the fence which has been there for 6 years.

Really enjoyed the video Gary, always look forward to Sunday evenings. For anything you have uploaded. Some glorious views up there, you got a great comp of the castle, somewhere I’d like to go back to myself….in spite of the pylons. That’s the best spot where you and Warren were but I also took one of the approach to the castle which I will always treasure as it had our dog as the main subject looking back at the camera, a nice memory of him. I have a feeling that house/bungalow on the right as you approach the Three Sisters btw was once owned by someone quite well known. Nice cameo parts by Roy and your mom again.

God knows what went on in that house. Better not to think about it.

We were there mid October after seeing your earlier vlog from there. simply stunning. But boy did that ugly fence take some getting rid off in PS but was worth it. . Typically the day after there was the most beautiful rainbow and light, got a shot but from the Loch awe hotel. That's one banging image Gavin 👌

Highlight of the week, Fototripper's new video 🙌😍. - I have Luminar Neo (1.16), but there is no Genswap.

Hmmm didn't know about that feature in luminar neo 😂. Handy!! Glencoe, auld Jimmy's house. Should be gen X off the landscape

The castle shots are awesome! (but I'm sure Thomas Heaton would have done better 🤣)

Awe you really Loched on to the Kilchurn Castle 🤣🤣🤣
