In an attempt to lift myself out of a downward spiral of depression brought on by the general mass hysteria of modern society, I head to the misty mountains for some awe-inspiring landscape photography adventures.
Things get challenging almost as soon as we hit the trail.
Not only am I stuck with a Michael Shainblum fanboy with a serious attitude but there's a pastor in our midst who keeps giving Amanda ideas. In spite of this, the clear mountain air and abundant wildflowers work wonders on my mood and I can feel my mental health improving with every agonizing step.
Will the sunset deliver some magnifiqua light, how will I resist the indecent proposals and can I gag down the vilest pasta dish ever created? Hit play to reveal all.
Thanks for watching

Colin, a true man of culture I see, unlike you. Sean and I would be happy to do a REAL photography adventure with him in the future. 😤 Oh and killer work at 14:52!!!

Gavin - I so relate to this. Dunno if it's a male thing, a middle-aged thing, or just the curse of the creative - but I've been there many times. And no matter how much my life has improved post-divorce/financial collapse, I still cop it more often than I'd expect. All I can say is, you make a lot of people happy with your work, and you do bring genuine value to those you touch (inappropriately or otherwise), so keep doing what you're doing. It really makes a difference, believe me.

Gavin: The pasta was my idea Amanda: Did you say, pastor? Seriously, how can anyone stay depressed around that woman? Great sunset image.

@LowLightMike 3 года назад

Cutting through all the jokes and banter to the core: I am so sorry that you haven't been able/allowed to visit with your Mother. From one human to another, I'm so sorry about that. (any further words would just be me projecting my interpretations onto your situation, so just know that I and others are with you in the sadness and frustration).

Looking forward to see on the next video your marriage ceremony with the lovely Amanda. It's about time! It will be the most beautify ceremony ever on top of that mountain, with Shainblum on one side, and uncle Grumpy on the other. Grow a pair and do it!

haha the "Seeping Shatner" is a reality for many of us LOL. Depression is a real thing for me too and it brings down my motivation to make work but I find if I just push myself to get out there then good things tend to happen or at least I surprise myself somehow. It's really hard sometimes though lol. Sometime the voice just says you suck what are you even doing? Gotta learn not to hear the voice. Gotta say yes I can instead of no I can't :)

Agree about loss of our liberties, very depressing , but looks like UK opening up to vaccinated travellers from USA and hopefully Canada so you should be able to visit. In England most restrictions lifted, but here in Wales still tight regulation

@fototripper 3 года назад

Opening up with a caveat isn't really opening up...

@darioperizzolo2364 3 года назад

The one thing that always stands out in your videos to me aside from the amazing photos, is the camaraderie. I've seen my best friend once in the last 2 years and watching your videos makes it hit home how much a friendship, and family for that matter, should be treasured and never taken for granted. Magnifique work as always.

@carlmcneill1139 3 года назад

I know you joke a lot in your videos but you are right about the depression. Especially over the lockdowns. I live in the US and we don't have any lockdowns at the moment. I'm free to travel most anywhere in the US. Once a country loses freedom they rarely get it all back. If at all. I hope you get to see your mom soon. I only get to see mine maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I might get to see her 4 times this year.

That offending tree blocking the view. Is there an opportunity to innovate in what the modern landscape photographer carries in their field kit? Imagining the Gavin Hardcastle Photographers' Landscape Adjustment Kit: "correct your photos in pre rather than post", lightweight chainsaw for trees up to 200 years old, dynamite for rock outcrops up to 100 million. Correct eons in minutes.

Amazing final shot in this video, and I completely agree with your sentiments regarding the state of the world at the moment. Never thought I'd utter these words, but just be glad you don't live here in Australia. It's still March 2020 here and we're not even allowed to do as you do in this video. Photography, as well as most things, is currently outlawed where I live. Anyway, completely understand your state of mind as I actually see no light at the end of the tunnel in Australia, but hoping it works out better for you guys soon. Love the video, as always, and stuff like this is a great opportunity to escape from the reality of the situation here for a few minutes. Happy thoughts, smiling times. :)

@fototripper 3 года назад

I truly sympathize with the Orwellian nightmare that AU has become. Nobody saw that coming. I truly hope things improve but I fear that won't happen until the people decide to do something about it as a collective. Sadly, there are far too many people all to willing to slip into the role clipboard warrior. Little Hitlers are always waiting for a crisis to exploit.

Came across your channel just now. Anyway, after I cleaned up, I wanted to say that I was really enjoying your videos. Big Beehive was the first one and after the "lichen subscribe covered rock" comment, knew we were going to be binge buddies for a while. But after seeing this video and hearing your thoughts about the unmentionable and our eroding freedoms, I knew we'd be fast friends. From this Aussie in Quebec to a Yorkie in BC, stay well. Hold the line. (Amanda if, you know, things don't work out, leave a link in the description.) ;-)

I've been watching RU-vid photography vids for many years, you & your team actually bring a smile to my face. Your combination of fine art photography & your characterizations, facial expressions and heartfelt communication surpasses many of the movies & tv shows coming out on Netflix, Amazon & Hulu, and your doing it with a hand held freaking video recorder. Pat yourself on the back. You definitely put those cameras and lenses to the test.
