Photoshop For Morons: www.fototripper.com/store/pho... What could be better than the most photographed tree on earth? Photographing it in fog, that's what!
A cold and misty morning delivers fairy tale conditions at one of Vancouver Islands' most photogenic spots.
While enjoying a rare moment of wonderful solitude, I'm just about to capture the perfect shot, and then the riff-raff show up to spoil the moment.
In spite of this unbearable hardship, I still manage to bag four beautiful shots and you might be surprised to see Leica making an appearance in this fun-filled landscape photography vlog.
Grumpton gags on a sausage while Brian shivers in terror in his poorly constructed tent amidst the dark and dangerous wilderness of the car park.
Colin comes to my rescue to keep me warm and to clear the way for the ultimate shot of Fairy Lake in the glowing morning mist.
Will I get 'canceled' for a ''That's what she said'' gag and how many dust spots can a sensor hold before you call it a beach?
There's really only one way to find out.
Hit play and then hit Like.

I DEFINITELY like to see the SOC, minor, and final edited image. You don't have to do all of them, but maybe one per video. What I like about uncle grumpy's approach is that by showing the RAW image, it conveys a certain honesty that the final image is good, not because of photoshopping (although that obviously improves it), but because the original capture was good. What I really like about your approach is that you gave some explanation as to why your SOC looked the way it did, and what you had in mind when capturing it. Very nice video Gavin.

@AB-di3tl 2 года назад

I prefer the fourth - the color of the tree stands out, it feels isolated, and it shows the angle of the stump the little tree is growing on in relation to the water. Yes, please create more post-processing videos, with more detail. Thank you.

@BrianHorsey 2 года назад

Top centre, the last one processed for me, I thought it had a slightly better balance. I’d love to see more ‘before and afters’.

@mwschaff 2 года назад

Loved the before and after explanation. Just the right amount of explanation without going overboard on it.

@djbrickhouse1 2 года назад

Keep up the before and after segments. I like seeing how much editing goes into your final image and the thought process behind it.

@WildlikeDestination 2 года назад

Definitely keep on doing more of Before/Afters. 👌

@ekqvistniko9114 2 года назад

I love that befor after part. That comparison shows me that I know how shoot but there is something to learn in editing

@iamdebmiller 2 года назад

I like the before, midway and after discussions. I am also tickled to see the return of a "... do have a fess ..." Those are hilarious, and I have spit out food laughing so hard at many of them. Gavin, you could do a magnifique video of nothing but face cracks edited together, and I bet millions would love it! I know I would. And if you placed Thomas Heaton in the center of it by the murder box camper when he's screeching, "Look at it! Look at it!" well, that would just be over the top hilarious.

@benashton5325 2 года назад

Fantastic Video 👏 Loved the images 🙌 It was great to see the before and after of your images at the end of the video. You really have a great way of explaining the whole process of capturing the image from start to finish. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏

@outchasinglight9424 2 года назад

I’m astonished that Gavin didn’t seize the opportunity to say…; “so Leica and subscribe…”! 😂

@christeeny99 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing! I loved all the photos. I especially enjoyed seeing the 3 stages and how the pics were developed from RAW out of camera. That is very helpful and encouraging fro some of my shots. I hope you continue to do that in your videos.

@InfiniteSpaceMedia 2 года назад

My favorite day of the week has arrived 😎 Excited to see the East coast photos this summer!

@MikeScheerer 2 года назад

Hi Gavin, the 4th shot speaks to me the loudest, but I love them all. Would certainly love to see more of the before and after processing stuff, really interesting to see the transition from raw to post processed. Keep up the fine work.

@maryl1833 2 года назад

Gavin, I agree with Anna Galach! The background adds to the fairy look. So calming. Love the raw and after; will convince me to shoot in raw because I have been afraid of post processing - that it may be too technical for me. Your Photoshop for Morons will make me less - well, moronic!

@fredschwab2718 2 года назад

Very much enjoyed the insight on your process. Seeing the before vs. after images is a great addition. Thank you Gavin!

@JureeJames 2 года назад

I just LOVE the walk through of the camera RAW to finished photos - please do more! You pass on a lot of knowledge to us photo 'morons' when you talk about what you did, why you did it, and how it create the final image you intended. And we are HERE FOR IT! Thanks!

@Salt_Sirens 2 года назад

I like the process part at the end, shows not every shot is perfect straight out of camera and I find that more encouraging.

@fernandosantos8573 2 года назад

Loved all 4 photos. Loved the raw and the final image comparison. Please keep doing this because is of great help for us to understand what is happening in post-processing.

@benbeattie4609 2 года назад

Definitely more photoshop insights please!! Superb, as always Gavin!!

@picsbyrob 2 года назад

Your videos are always funny and educational I did like your comparison of images at the end. I appreciate that you only an overview and not details of the exact edits. It gives the viewers a chance to see a comparison of how some relatively small adjustments can make a big difference to the final image. Even if you don’t do that every video, occasionally seeing this type of comparison would be great. Keep up the hilarious work!

@stephenhowe316 2 года назад

The 4th image was my favourite. I like the 16 x 9 space, the uniqueness of the tree on the left counter-posed by the subtle changes in fog over the water and ethereal background.

@winkrichardson 2 года назад

Yes, loved you showing out of camera to finish. Favourite was the vertical with tree slightly off centre.

@andycoleman2708 2 года назад

I like the third one and how the off-center tree still feels balanced because of the background. And I really do enjoy seeing how and why you edit the way you do.

@billkipper3264 2 года назад

I do like the raw versus processed comparison. It's one of the biggest reasons I like Uncle Grumpy's videos.

@benruset 2 года назад

All of the shots are incredible but I especially liked the one starting at 3:56. The blues and purples on the horizon contrasted really nicely with the green of the tree.

@stevehunt4971 2 года назад

Final shot is my favourite. Love the highlight on the foliage behind. Gives the shot some depth. Thanks for showing the edits. I find it helpful to see how others edit there photos. Much appreciated. Cheers.

@briannicholson2971 2 года назад

All very good images but number 4 is spectacular, the subtle tones have a beautiful softness and the glimmers of light in the trees in the background bring a beautiful light to enhace the image 👍📸😊

@reddogtwelve 2 года назад

Another great vid Gavin-thank you!! I like the last pic the best, but all of them are great. The highlights in the background on the last one give it a different sort of pop that I like. Also really enjoy the before/after….would like to see more of that.

@billkipper3264 2 года назад

I like the top center image best. I like that you can see the angle of the log the fairy tree grows out of. Also, the light shining through the mist on the water and shore in the background gives it a very mystical look. The Lady of the Lake could raise her hand out of the water bearing the gleaming sword Excalibur at any time.

@dalepowell5368 2 года назад

My favourite conditions, fog, reflections and having the place all to yourself, mornings like this are rare. Some of your best ever here Gavin, that 3rd one is a stunner. Dreamland.

@AndreaLivieriPhoto 2 года назад

Wonderful shots, Gavin! I very much enjoyed the last one, the horizontal 16:9 framing. The light is gorgeous and the composition is really spot on. If you plan to visit the Dolomites in the future, I know some great places where you can taste good vino! :) Ciao

@pamelaproffitt8484 2 года назад

The last one is my favorite. I love the moodiness of the background and the tree stands alone.

All good images of 'the tree', Gavin! It is hard to pick a favorite. The fog really adds a great mood to all your photos. I do like your post processing. I vote for you to do more.

@scottmuir5757 2 года назад

photo number 3 would be the 1 i choose, portrait orientation really works well for the scene. enjoyed seeing the raw then the finished edit, gives us hobbyists a glimmer of light with our images lol.

@torstenwennberg4845 2 года назад

I love the post-processing bit at the end! There are much appreciated gold nuggets there as that part of photography is very important these days as well. Also helps to round out your thought process. Ah...the mind of Gavin, always an adventure! Thanks.

@klingtrav 2 года назад

That last pic Gavin is muy, muy... definitely my favorite and I'll tell you why. If the tree is overshot that bit of light on that background makes it unique. I haven't seen that angle too often but definitely that light makes the shot. It is ethereal, soft and delicate and gives the photo a mood that is peaceful and sublime. I can't stop looking at it!! Thank you BTW, for your photo book and a few of your pics I received for Christmas (a gift from my wife). I always love your work and it's nice to have it to peruse and view on my wall.

@CS-je5vx 2 года назад

Yes, I enjoyed seeing the raw file and what you did for the final image.

@christophertaylor7021 2 года назад

Hey Gavin, keep the before & afters when you feel like showing them. My fave is the last shot. I really like the way the light filters through the fog from the bushes on the shoreline and the reflexions in the water. I also prefer the angle of the log in the water, rather than shooting it straight on.

@mds1254 2 года назад

Loved the before after segment at the end🤓👍 more please!

@Kayahdog 2 года назад

Very much enjoyed the image processing explanation at the end...btw, this might have been the first video with Uncle Grumpy where he never held a camera in his hand.

@roscot40 2 года назад

Number four was my favourite. It had a more epic feel to it and was on RU-vid, painterly in the extreme. I remember Gavin previously talking about the rarity of perfect shots, but he gets pretty close every week. As always, great channel with exceptional content.

@darrenmilo9565 Год назад

I started watching you for photo tips, I stayed for the entertainment but these shots were jaw dropping. “Face like a battered haddock” has gone in my book of Yorkshire sayings along with “meat cove”. top stuff youth.

@JohnDoe-ws5iv 2 года назад

Another fantastic video! The information at the end is awesome! Keep it up!!

@bmichaud1000 2 года назад

Hey Gavin. Definitely, the last image was my favorite of the four. And yes, keep up the post processing bits. As much as the composition dialogue is invaluable, it's really only half the story. The discussion around post processing is the other critical piece to understanding how you got the image. Some may find it boring, but for someone who wants to learn as much as possible about photography, this piece is critical. Thanks for all you do!

@loudann6665 2 года назад

@vantagepointphotography 2 года назад

The before and after image retouching at the end of the video is a nice add. My favorite images is probably the last one. That background popping through the fog with the highlights on the foliage sets the mood for a fantastic shoot. Brilliant work.

@marcusoutdoors4999 2 года назад

Gavin, it is always a joy to see how you create great images. So yes I enjoy the fun and the adventure, but seeing the unedited raw is useful and interesting. I have no idea how RU-vid works, but maybe they could be shown as “shorts” as a separate but linked video to get more traffic. Anyway my wife got me the fantastic publication for Krimbo which is Chasing Awe, and now she laughs at your emails… you have many many fans. PS. This video for some reason was particularly inspiring and makes me want to get out there.

@Hirsutechin 2 года назад

Gav, your concern for your fellow togs is touching, but these aren't dust spots. They're dog fleas and the big one is a tick - sorry Colin, but he's using his own jacket next time. Despite the moronic photoshoppery (link in the description) I like the image at 14:33 for the delicate details in the trees and light just emerging from the background: quite subtly magnifique.

@alexgimagery 2 года назад

Beautiful and iconic. But the one at 20:00 takes the prize for me, as I love the glistening highlights of the plants on the far shore.

The 16x9 with tree on the left is the one for me. I like the tonality and the perspective. The pano with tree on right just does not grab me even though it is basically the same. Go figure. I like discussions on why something is done, not just what and how.
