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!

I second that. 👍

Pickles for breakfast? That’s a sure sign of things to come! Is so you can say goodbye to landscape photography for a few years though, being condemned to the nether world of cute baby photography!

The last shot was stunning and really showed off the Blad’s superb capabilities. Thanks for another great video!

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!

And I hope he hits that 100k subs soon.. He deserves the silver plaque…

If you find rendering on the back of Fuji flat, change film simulation from Provia (Std) to Astia or Velvia.

That last image Gavin - magical!

If the last words I ever hear are “ here’s the shot” I know that the last thing I will see if is a stunning image. Another brilliant video both, thank you for sharing

Never get tired of waterfalls, especially how you seem to capture them in their full glory. Great humour as always, which makes for a fantastic combination with the excellent camera work. Another belter Gavin and Amanda 👌

Amanda's tears with the shoes . . . . I think I'd be the same! Great images, especially that last waterfall. Wow the light in it was stunning.

You two are very funny together, but I have to admit the Hasselblad X2d 100 creates such dynamic shots, great composition and the use of a slow shutter.

Ya gotta love roots! Gorgeous compositions of those beautiful waterfalls and forest!

Honestly I never get tired of waterfalls, especially when l see the interesting foreground elements that you have incorporated into your photos Gavin. Great video!

A ‘bit’ of rain ☔️. Good to watch. It was a stunning waterfall area. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A wonderful set of images throughout but wow that last one is really a beautiful image! You captured the whole scene so wonderfully!

I'm so glad you made it to Ricketts. It's such an amazing park.

By far my favourite KZread photography channel, you guys are hilarious! The pickles and chomps song was comedy genius :) Oh and your photos are astounding.

I look forward to seeing your videos more than any other on KZread. Love your sense of humor, the back and forth with Amanda and of course the stunning images you have captured. Thanks for brightening up my day each week!

Oh my! That last one was a real corker!! Great video!

Looks like the department of bloody marvellous photography got in touch! Wonderful stuff and thankyou both

You definitely saved the best for last. That last shot is epic. PS - ditch the boots.

I think you've chased some awe and found it in that last image. Additionally, thanks, Gavin (and Amanda) for all you do, such a high level of enjoyable and educational content… except for what you sweat into the socks, that can just go to a toxic waste dump.

Great video! I liked the scenery so much that I made hotel reservations for the 2023 autumn colors...at Rickets Glen and Colton Point State Parks.

"oh yeah you twist that in the hole".....dying 😂 amazing images, as always!

Great, thanks Gavin (and Amanda) - even more entertaining than usual. Laugh-out-loud funny, which is embarrassing when I'm sat in the Pub with my headphones on ! Great locations and photographs: are you going to be able to resist placing your order for the Hassy, even without video ?? Surely get one up on Mr Grumpy.

Ricketts Glen is awesome! Been there a couple of times.

Never ever sick of waterfalls! Love following your adventures as always - thank you

Absolute banger of a final shot, Gavin! Wonderful video as always, too. Never watched another photography channel that can induce full on belly laughs like you and Amanda. Thank you!

That breakfast combination would be worrying me Gavin. Can we expect an episode in 9 months on how to capture baptism images 🤔

Excellent value. What a team!

OMG @ last shot . . photography is catching . . . .light . . at a certain moment :-) Amazing

Another cracking vlog guys! I seriously need to get out to the local waterfalls more.

What's up Gavin? Outside of you being too silly for KZread; Your work is fantastic. I really think you have a really good eye for color and how to bring it out in a shot. Great work Gavin. As always, really funny stuff. Peace to you and your wife, and God Bless!kk

Thanks Michael :)

❤ your work and how you and Amanda get along. So playful.

I stopped caring about gear many years ago.. As long it functions in the environment I'm in, I'm happy, I live in the PNW so It needs to withstand some rainy days. I have a Sony A7 Riii and for awhile there before this camera. But many of these KZreadrs were just Gear shills and changed cameras every other video and promoting new cameras and other gear.. I stopped caring and knew gear isn't going to help my fundamentals and make me a better photographer when I'm always chasing the newest gear. So I stopped caring about the latest and greatest gear. I'm happy with my Sony A7 Riii the years I've had it now.

Bahahaha Pickles'n chumps.... I was laughing out loud. So stupid. I love it!

Wow well done. Found your next book cover on that last shot….

Love Rickets Glenn. There are 24 waterfalls in a 7 mile hike. Great place hope you enjoyed it.

That was one of the first places I ever took a camera. I was a beginner so my photos suck but since then moved to Alaska. it's crazy how many waterfalls they have!

What a amazing place and definitely the best for last AI wouldn't create such beauty ! Brilliant video all round !

Smashing video lovely waterfalls

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.

@fototripper

were the parts of the roots that had direct light hitting them or in shade?

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:)

Beautiful photos, as usual!

Rickett's Glen is fantastic spring or fall! Let us know if you plan to return in the fall.

That last shot - superb! You just keep right on shooting those waterfalls, Gavin. I will continue to "soak" it all in. Amazing.

This evening saw 2 of my grandsons go home after a 4 day stay, and I was not only feeling knackered but also low on any sort of enthusiasm for YT photography videos.. but I'm so glad I made myself watch this episode cause it cheered me up no end, in fact I was engulfed with belly laughs watching you sniffing your socks and boots, bloody hilarious (I am easily pleased ha) fabulous vid as usual Gavin and that last image was stunning!

I learn so much from your videos. You teach effortlessly integrating your wisdom with your chat. Thank you!

Loved the last shot.

I concur, Ricketts Glen is an amazing locality.

Enjoying a couple of wagon wheels and a few twix while watching you . Lovely

Stunning images and outstanding comic timing throughout. 😂

Still laughing…very funny. Enjoyed the photos too. That last one was magical.

Wonderful - thank you both! My favourite locations are forests, and waterfalls are the icing on the cake. Never apologize for taking us along to waterfalls with you. These locations are so beautiful and the images you created are awesome.

So far I've watched 95.5% of Gavin's vlogs. And I've been spoiled: I cannot watch other KZread vids... :-)))) His vids are priceless - he discloses so many details and ideas about building landscape composition. If photograph has right composition - it is already 90% of success no matter how good it was processed. So, thank you Gavin.

Another great watch with stunning photos. Funny as always 🙂

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!

Love the pano at 18:12. I grew up just a few miles from Ricketts, and it’s definitely a stunning spot to shoot, even more so in the fall. It’s a great spot to go back time and time again to always see the trail in a new way. Glad you got to enjoy it on a quiet rainy day!

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.

Sounds like a good trip.

I've been following you for quite sometime now and no matter how many waterfalls you do I'll always love it. Your interpretation and composition skills are on top. 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!

In Germany are 2 Sets of the Hasselblad with 2 lenses for either Landscape or 2 lenses for portraits. 13200 or 13500EUR 😮. If you need to finance this : 13500 on 5 years : monthly 240 EUR approx. - theoretically possible.🤔🤑

Man! You hit the waterfall jackpot this time! Great set of shots. RIP to Amanda's Olfactory senses! 🤣🤣😵😵🥴🥴

Massive Megapixles and beautiful images. The best camera is only so good as the photographer behind it. Great images, Gavin. Shoot with stunning cameras. The last shoot is absolutely beautiful.

Upvoted for that last image alone...but downvoted for the foot stench.......upvoted for the hiking in the rain.......downvoted for not having waterproof pants........finally upvoted for your gimpy ankle. Bit of a roller coaster ending in a pity upvote, youtube doesn't know that though, to them a win's a win.

Oh that shot @ 4:00 is a keeper and a wall art worthy shot !! Dang all of these shots are epic !

Wow Gavin, That last picture just blew me away. That is saying something because they were all fantastic waterfall shots. Hope Amanda got back in the truck with you.

Gavin, this video was worth watching twice just to see those images again. I have often said a picture is worth a 1,000 words but it does not convay the sounds, the smells and the feel of the air.

Oh God! What are the odds. I'm eating cress while watching this. 😃

@@fototripper It's actually ok. I wouldn't survive on it alone though, that's for sure. It'll definitely put a smile on my face the next time I have them. 😋

That tip about just renting the camera equipment is very intriguing! Never thought of that. I’m loving your LE shots, stunning. And the shots of the tree roots, outstanding👍 Haha very catchy tune to accompany the pickle breakfast🤣 omg that last shot was the icing on the cake for sure, congratulations 👏👏

Wow, this last location really was absolutely stunning. Beautiful!

Ive had some good luck with lensrentals - thumbs up. Also, I dont feel that Amanda was acting with the smell 😂Perhaps give merino wool or alpaca socks a go. Theyve saved me from the hot pickles and cheese cloud of stank-foot.

Wow! Beautiful pictures, especially the last one ! I like waterfalls and I am so happy that you share this with us. Your compositions are always mind-blowing!

The last shot was magnifique! You are still on top of your game. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great job Mr. Hardcastle! Regarding the last image, I took several weeks ago after a heavy rain, the water flowed over the v shaped foreground rock like a veil. But, my image did not have the glorious light rays, but love the look! Well done Sir!

Some stunning image there mate, I for one will not get sick of the waterfall images, think I need to get back down Fundy park for some waterfall photography.Thanks for sharing.

Keep shooting the waterfalls :) No need to apologize--lovey work!

Wauw!!! That last image is just incredible… Just wow!

Another great video buddy! Them pair or cameras are epic. Keep shooting them waterfalls buddy. Nice job mate

Gavin, that last image was top notch. Glad your stories don't have smellovision, and that only poor Amanda and Yourself experience the true Fototripper realities of footwear odour de Durian. Really those boots and socks should be jettisoned into space on the next available flight.

Your pickle breakfast is perfect!! Fantastic waterfalls...and thank you for talking us through your shots...I love that. Also, you went the extra mile today and I am appreciative of you efforts. I won't mention the first official stripping in the woods, scene. EPIC 😊

Enjoyed this video. Ricketts Glen is a beautiful place. Tip for you. Wear wool sock liners with summer weight wool socks. Will help keep your feet dry. You can always spray toes with anti perspirant deodorant spray to help stop feet from sweating. Works well in winter too. Dry feet warm feet. Thanks.

Nice one Amanda and Gavin, that brightened my Sunday up a bit!

Oh you two, made me giggle, but wow those images 👏. Thanks for taking us along and keep up the regime, you look lighter.

Beautiful shots Gavin, love them

o Gavin gets the money shot on his knees..............🤣 @about 3 minutes. Great video 2x👍

Great work Gav, That Hasselblad colour science is next level. Great waterfall pics, they are kind of like a Michael Bolton love song, a bit cringe but you can't help but like them.

You can't beat some epic waterfall photography, that last image was 🥰👏📷👍🏻

Great video Gavin, and that last shot -!!! I hope you two are safe from the recent deluge that hit Nova Scotia this week.

Leave the boots and socks outside of the camper. 😂

Thanks Gavin. I really learn a lot and enjoy watching your videos!

Oh, Oh. Pickles and Pepperoni. If she puts them on ice cream, look out.

Pickles and Chomps for the win👍😃 but Watercress comes in at a close second 😲 btw the waterfall images are beautiful👀👍

The detail from the Hasselblad is just exquisite.

Northern Minnesota has quite a few waterfalls if you ever get around to that neck of the woods. My most favorite place in the US is Glacier National Park 😍 I have an entire wall of HD metal prints of that place. Great work as always!

Another entertaining video and nice shots though I nearly chundred when you smelt your boots.

I wish we could make our own "LUTS" out of small lightroom edits, and import them to a camera, so we can see what the photos will look like with our particular style.

Brilliant stuff Gavin, both you and Amanda just crack me up with your antics, and the photography was exceptional. What amazing photos you took, that most certainly is the best waterfalls yet. I would also like to say, you were in good spirits in this video, must have been all that sleep you got, maybe you should have a long lie more often it might help you get more subscribers cos your not so miserable. Hahaha, I am only joking, I loved the video and it certainly put a smile on my face. Cheers ! 😁👍

That last shot is fantastic mate, I'd say it would have to go in your next book!

I liked the first shot but Yes you did save the best for last, a Spectacular shot mate, many thanks guys, very funny, great video.
