If you were late Gavin and missed the "shot" to begin with, then NO AFTERGLOW for you! If you don't participate in the "sex" you don't get the afterglow!

That first shot isn’t crap at all. It’s rather beautiful. Rugged, raw, and not overdone.

I'm no Simon d'Entremont, but I know that guillemots (a/k/a murres) nest in big colonies on seaside cliffs. I can't find a word for a group of guillemots, so just call it a colony. Technically, a rookery is a nesting colony of rooks. 😉

Don’t be so hard yourself Gavin, that first shot was stunning! Don’t worry about the video posts, you need to hit that renovation job and get it done! Loved the waterfall shot. You make it look so easy man!

Thanks for another great video! The first location you were at is one of my favorite places in Cape Breton. The pink tint of the rocks and the dramatic coast line is just breathtaking. I too, arrived to late for good light as it does take quite a while to find a good composition when so many options are available.

Loving the video, reminds me of my trip yesterday up to Mono Lake to try to get some sunset on the Tufa (we will see how it comes out when i pull into LR later today). Due to stay in the Desert Empire of Central California, some days I think I am following the route of the F4 California Trip Episode 4 (i.e Mono lake, Alabama hills, Valley of fire, Vegas, etc.) Anyway moving on, got you book and thank you very much, love it from the Forward by Uncle Grumpy to the great photos and accompany photos, even the little sticker that was inserted (somewhat Amanda feel to it). If you get out of the great white north in the future drop me a line if you may revist the Central California area or even if the east of trying some shots around West Virginia (some great landscapes o be found there from the New River Gorge to the Shenadoah area or Canaan Area such as Blakcwater Falls. Best to you and the lovely Amanda

Very beautiful waterfall shot. Your whole video was lovely and entertaining watching you and Amanda. It's also neat how you show that mother nature is the boss. Plans and ideas can be made for a great photo but she may not cooperate! Love your stamina and humor through all your photo trips and life adventures!!!!

Taking the Engishtown fairy cuts off the drive around St. Anne Inlet but you miss one of the best rivers down in a gorge where the water is tea colour. Shooting on the end of the intel facing north over the small marsh there can be breathtaking as well.There is a road that runs on the north side and south side of the Seal Island bridge as well and gives you a different prospective. Now for finding rocks and beaches to shoot I now shoot a pano to make sure I miss nothing and look at all angles and place to shoot from. Point Aconi Lighthouse is an awesome place to shot the rocks and coal seams as well. There is a rock out crop in the water that on days with high winds makes for great splashes. In Bedeck shooting the boats an anchor in the bay where the famous light house is makes for historical iconic shots. I sell a lot of that stuff from all over the island. The Margaret River that runs across the island is a major fault in the island and provided you with some of the best shots of fishing and so much more. The Scottish trail is breathtaking to drive. There is one beach right by the road where you can see the lava flows in the rocks. I know if you ever had a love for scotch, then you have to stop at the distillery there and check out the nectar of the gods. I am going to try to make it back to my loving island this fall to shoot more of what I love there and now that I have learned more I will have the shots I always wanted to get. I have so many shots from there and would love to refine them for even better memories. There is too much to describe in one comment. Just remember that no matter where you go you will leave a piece of your heart in Cape Breton. I know I did! Cheers

Love your videos! Between you and Simon, I have learned so much! I live in New Hampshire. I need to take a photo trip up your way!

Your little ferry ride reminded me of a similiar event. At one point in my career, I was stationed on the island of Lefkas, Greece and it was connected to the mainland by a cable ferry. About 250 feet across. The biggest problem was waking up the ferry master early in the morning.

Gavin, I’ve been using an iPhone for landscape photography for the last 7 years. I even employ some of your techniques. I look forward to next week’s episode!

Hi, as usual this is a good video 😀. My husband and I love your channel. Yes, you finished with a nice shot of the waterfall. Thank you for telling us the points where you chose to focus stack, I always find that helpful. In light of the huge renovation you both are undertaking, I think you’re doing an awesome job of also putting out videos. I’m glad that you finally got a good nights sleep. Your body really needed that and I’m sure Amanda is happy you had a good nights rest as well. When that charming church is done, you both will have a truly beautiful and unique home. We will be glad for you both when you are able to finally settle into your home.

The anxiety from chasing light is rarely discussed, and yet it bites us all in the arse time and again lol. An honest overview Gavin, and nice redemption with the gorgeous waterfall image.

Wow! Photography, humor, singing, and car repair! What more could we ask for? I had a hard time with sunset. I hope you go back to that location, it looked like there was a lot to shoot there. I loved the waterfall. I have a hard time accepting phone photography, they do take some great pictures. But they seem to have a hard time with long pictures (subject far away) or where you would use a zoom lens.

The waterfall image came out better than I thought as the light seemed quite flat. Nice vid.

Your images are always top notch💯 Btw I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets uncooperative clouds during shoots. Hello Amanda 👋🙂

Wondered where you had gone, glad to see you’re still making brilliant images, never stop giving us the best laughs😊

Fun to watch you two! Thank you

Great shot as usual - glad to see you and Amanda surviving the trials and tribulations of the renovation!

Honestly for digital only viewing cell phones do a fine enough job, and realistically as photography becomes more accessible, smaller, lighter... eventually cell phones may take over our industry. I don't think it's quite there yet, but we shall see with your next video. Recommended title for your next book... Chasing Fall With Gavin Hardcastle "Dangerous Locations and where it all went wrong" as a subtitle... with a photo of you slipping on the ice.

Nice Video Gavin!!! I Waited Saturday... And Halfway Through The Day Sunday On Your New Video.... Them Pictures Looks Awesome Dude... Keep Them Videos Coming :)

Waterfall shots are always great to shoot. We have 300 of them here in the U.P. of Michigan. I don’t know how far you are from Maine, But Presque Isle has a great hot air balloon festival every year in August. That would make for a few good videos and still shots. 👍

Great video Gavin and Amanda. Loved the waterfall shot.

Really fantastic video and such a wonderful location! It happens to me a good bit sometimes, turning up juuuuust a touch late to a location and missing that nice side light. More power to ya all yhe same for staying shooting anyways 😊

I love watching your videos for the comedy, as well as your comedic timing... it is great... keep up the show....

that is one of my favourite photos i have ever seen you take! Great shot!

Great video as always :) I love these new yellow shimoda ;)

beautiful shots. great job 👍👍👍👍

I really quite like that 1st shot. BUT i freggin love that waterfall. Even without the frozen surroundings it came out amazing. Can't wait to see what you come up with on your phone.

I'm going to disagree with you about that first shot, fototripper. I was watching your approach to the area and I said no way. Can't be done in one composition. Obviously I was wro...er, uh... you know, that word. Anyway, you worked a beautiful image and fine composition out of an impossible situation. Good work! And, Amanda did look especially bright and cheery in that opening sequence. Now, I'm going to continue on and watch the rest of this video.....................OK, I've watched the remainder of the video now. One of the most fun videos you and Amanda have made. Thanks.

Your sideways glances at the camera….hilarious! Also I would buy a tee shirt that said “Just look at this business” ❤❤

Amanda has a beautiful voice👍🏼 and once again a excellent video. You two are so funny. Just bought your book (any chance of getting it signed, please😉)📷👍🏼

I would let you repair my RV if I had one 🙂 I didn't get to see what Amanda wanted to get at Home Depot. Now I'm curious. I hope you don't give up on that sunset shot on the coast. That is a gorgeous place. Even though you thought your shot wasn't good I like it. I also love the waterfall shot and I can't wait to hear your assessment of the phone photography. Yes, phone cameras have come along way but they still have limitations due to their size, size of chip etc. Thanks for another great video.

I see you and Thomas Heaton have fallen from the same ship recently as you have the same life vest as each other :-) Great entertaining video as always mate, been watching you for a few years now and you still manage to make me laugh to myself everytime i watch yet still produce some phenomenal images along the way. Hope the renovation work is almost at a point you can move in , really looking forward to seeing how all the hard work has paid off, good luck mate , take care!

Great video Gavin. Loved the waterfall shot. Amanda is great! You need to give her a camera!

Great video. I really liked both the wide angle sunset and the waterfall. Your comments about the tininess of the ferry ride piqued my interest so that I Google Earth'd it. Looks like a ride of about 145 yards! I am not a golfer, but is that not an easy 9 iron? Since you've shown what a great auto electrician you are, your next video can be used to show us how to replace a cracked windshield.

You talked me into it, I've gone for the ebook version.😂

i actually liked the first pic - and i am really looking forward to the next video - measure of success is the number of months amanda remains content with your highness

Don't worry Gavin, a delayed vlog is better than no vlog! The waterfall shot has just the right amount of texture in the water for my taste. I see others have picked up on that garish yellow camera bag which looked like a Shimoda one to me. Guess you have a freebie to test 😉

Great video Gavin and Amanda....I heard the ticks were bad this year... ?? take care and keep shooting... 🙂

That is a great composition WITHOUT the sunset... The angle of which the rock cliff (that points north) and the waves crashing into the shoreline at a right angle from your position really enhances the photograph thus the way my eyes naturally follow to the left of the frame... Leading lines definitely takes a role!

Can't wait to your comparison. fwiw I have an "old" Sony a7riii and a new iphone 14 pro and for non-print work I can barely tell the difference - although the mSLR is of course, more flexible.

The beauty of PhotoPils is the ability to land that great composition which I think you’ve absolutely nailed as an idea. There will be a point in the year when the sun sets off the end of that Spithead and thereby at the end of the pensinsular you’re stood on. You could plan for all but the weather but the app lets you know when that happens. Just saying. I’d love to do that shot as I think it’s a book seller (no pun). Book looks great by the way but the financial chief won’t let me buy it……. Boo.

The cable ferry between Fauquier and Needles near Nakusp, BC is pretty short. Have you been on that one?

Word of the Day: Bulbous. I have to use that in a sentence today. As in, "Sir, I pulled you over because your headlights are excessively bulbous". Seriously, I'd watch your videos even if there wasn't a single image or lesson to be learned in them. They're that entertaining. Another good one in the books.

All the images and videos we are looking through, our windows at home, on our TV screens, ipads, laptops, iPhones, from KZread channel, ... what is it? Which smartphone are you using with such beautiful imagery, dexterity, focus and stability, Gavin sir?

Aha! You moved to the other side of the continent so you can keep Adam's lens cloth! Sneakyyyy!

If that is the sunset in the west at 4:10, I just am trying to imagine how that rocks will glow on a sunrise, the second the sun becomes visible on the horizon. Clouds situation of course must be no clouds east, the perfect clouds from northeast to west. Unfortunately I don’t know the cell phone number of the weather gods, so, that sounds like an each morning out until clouds are perfect experience. 😅

Next time I am in Canada I will get one, shipping to Germany is just to expensive for those. Adams woloy hats are another matter though.

Not a car ferry, but I have been on a pedestrian and bike ferry that only goes across the thames... in West London. Y'know... where there's bridges and the river is pretty narrow lol.

You make very entertaining videos, with lots of inspiring viewpoints in any sense, spiced with lots of humor. Thank you for that! - One thing however where I totally disagree, is the standardized presentation of waterfalls as plastic veils and angel hair, - almost painful in contrast with the lively and detail-rich video of the same right before it. I know it’s a matter of taste - but the moment you see the tear in the gypsy girl’s eye something snaps inside… Keep up the GOOD work!

Nothing better, what about a Twirl! I can empathise, leaving New Scotland to old Scotland, it will be a great trip . The world's shortest ferry line is the Ferry Lina in Töreboda, Sweden. It takes around 20-25 seconds and is hand powered

Aww Gavin, I just realised what I'd been missing in all you recent vlogs...shameless book plugs!
