I'm A Complete Failure at Landscape Photography

Did you know I wrote a book? www.fototrippe...
Why do we do this? What is it about landscape photography that makes us slog up a mountain in sub-zero temperatures only to face crushing disappointment?
I must be the most optimistic pessimist in existence. I already know the chances of success are slim to none, but still, I try. Nothing, however, seems to shake the nauseating enthusiasm of Brent Henderson, who once again...is in my shot.
Amanda treats us to a log-splitting masterclass while I impress Brent with my knowledge of the surrounding mountains and their names.
Will the rain ever stop? Will I manage to squeeze into my marshmallow suit and will Brent submit to my offer of a free prostate check and stay in my chasm?
There's really only one way to find out.
Thanks for watching

If 32 of the photos are from Adam Gibbs and 16 from Brent, I’m definitely ordering a copy!!

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis 2 года назад

You have 66k subscribers and every video you get about 50k views - which means anyone who comes across your channel and subscribes pretty much watches every video you make (myself included). That is the best sign of a channel in my opinion. I’ve never seen anyone do this!!

That location truly would be awesome (with Gavin Hardcastle) if the light had popped through.. the shot at 19:20.. curious to see how it would be flipped to B&W and punch the dark/light contrast. i would trek as you equipment mule just to get up to that first location.. what a spot.. kudos to Brent for sharing it..

@Carrot_Handler 2 года назад

My ritual is you can't say the word "cunt" while climbing up to the perfect spot to shoot from... Once you do the lighting Gods will not bless you. Extremely hard to do if you were raised in London and are in a cold environment in the rain with lots of mud and slippery rocks and the fear of a Black Bear being near.

Great video as always Gavin! Your sense of humor is what makes your videos the best on the niche of nature photography (IMO)! The last shot actually turned out to be a very nice image!

@davorocket2825 2 года назад

Rituals before going out shooting? Yeah and perhaps you should pass this one on to Adam, I make sure I do a poo before leaving home. Nothing worse then being all backed up hiking up a mountain or even worse, on a public beach (no trees to hide behind). Oh and also double checking my bag for spare batteries (even though I don't shoot with those Sony battery munchers). Of cause none of that helps the light but the poo does make me feel lighter. Better luck next time Gav even though I think your a lucky bugger to be able to visit these awesome locations.

@GeoffCooper 2 года назад

Those folding bowls (and their cups) are awesome, though might have been a bit of a liability up there in the wind... luckily you had that book there to weigh it down!

@frankwilliams5250 2 года назад

Hi Gavin, Please put the flash cover on your GFX100s as it part of the weather sealing. It will invalidate the warranty. I work in the camera trade. I don’t want you to kill your camera. 🙂

@srameypr 2 года назад

I think you polished up a pretty good turd. I would have been delighted with that shot - it's very mysterious and Lord of the Rings-like.

I can read the headlines now: "Famous (?) photographer slides down mountain attempting to put on his skinny pants". Haha. Seriously, looked unnerving for a second there. I'll take a bad day two if day one gave me that shot you had of the 3 km ray of light. Your Italian is improving! Great video as always! Too bad I can't get a book of your work....

@peteskyrunner4845 2 года назад

I'm not superstitious about photography. But often when I go fishing with my mate I'll say 'I've got a good feeling about today', and we catch f**k all. So yesterday when we got there I thought | would use reverse psychology and said 'I've got a bad feeling about today', we still caught f**k all....well, I had a 4" bass, which hardly counts.

@VlogPhotography 2 года назад

Woooaah!! Now that is a location!! Reminds me of standing on Cadair Idris last January!It was absolutely freezing! Well that is a bit of an understatement! Trying to get those waterproofs on looked like a bit of a challenge on the edge of the mountain! 😬 This was a great video. Loved the images, expecially with some of the light! What a shot Gav! Looks like you both froze up there but that's all part of the fun of being a landscape photographer! Keep up the great work! Look forward to the next adventure!

@creatorsjourney6286 2 года назад

Garvin, you are really starting to look completely at home with that very nice and expensive GFX100s - Have you finally given Sony the elbow? You must be gutted after that trek up the mountain to have poor light. Someone else here said you should try editing them to B&W, I bet they'd look pretty good too. My love to your mum in law, can we see more of her please?

@glennobrien5039 2 года назад

I'm sure some of the shots you call crap would be improved by turning them into B&W images. Bugger climbing all the way up there to get them though. I used to do that stuff in my 20s but I'd use a drone these days. I really enjoy the humour though. Great fun.

@PhotoTrekr 2 года назад

I definitely wouldn't call it a fail. The first location is one of the most spectacular views I've ever seen. It's turned Fall here, so I'll be chasing color for the next week or two.
