My father died 21 years ago, just before Xmas. Grief never gets any smaller, but other things in your life expand over time. Some things will always take you right back to the pain, but the number of occasions when you reflect on your father without so much heartache will increase. Be strong and take time to care for yourself - best of luck Gary and may your 2024 images be even better.
I feel your pain my father died 11 days before his 80th birthday. I was at work when he passed so I never got to say goodbye it still hurts and I don't want to do Christmas anymore. Because without him it kills
My Mom died a few years back, never connected with her well. She also did photography as a hobby. I never thought much of it then but now I'm doing it professionally and wish I had connected earlier. Time got away... Sorry for your loss.
Was really sorry to hear of your loss Gary so once again my condolences to you and your family. I wish you a successful 2024 and look forward to your adventures ahead and the opportunity to continue to learn from such an accomplished photographer
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your father - thank you for sharing your experience and your emotions!! And thank you for your advice and teachings about photography - you inspire me!!
Your dad did a great work giving the world a very decent person. Certainly, he was very proud of that. Regarding the locations, TH-cam is not a public place
Happy New year, condolences for your loss, you have no obligation to say where anywhere is, there are too many entitled people out there, they can get off their backsides and go walking themselves !
Hi Gary, So sorry to hear of your loss, but happy to hear your dad was your greatest fan. I lost my dad in March 2023, 47:00 and he was just three days short of his 93rd birthday. My mother died six days before Christmas in 1994, unexpectedly, and it’s never an easy time, not that there is ever a good time to lose a loved one. Ayrmer Cove in Devon is pronounced ‘Armour’. That’s how my aunt, uncle and cousins, who lived in Devon pronounced it. I spent many summer holidays in the South Hams district of Devon and have been to Ayrmer Cove countless times in all sorts of conditions, but have never photographed it. I need to put that right. I remember seeing the Royal Yacht Britannia sailing past Ayrmer Cove with the Queen on board in the year of her silver jubilee in 1977. She had boarded in Plymouth and was in her way to Portsmouth. I think my favourites were looking up at Cat Bells and that frozen lake with the three rocks in the foreground, I can’t remember where in Scotland. Good for you for not giving away that waterfall location. Seeing what happed to the famous sycamore tree at Sycamore Gap shows us what people are capable of. All the very best for 2024.
Hi Garry John Howie here mate President of Stirling and District camera club, we met recently in Glencoe at the Kings House with the silly stag, I am so very sorry for your loss of your beloved father, you and your family are in our thoughts mate, as I said when we met credit where credit is due on your success with your you tube channel as I and everyone I know love it and respect you as a photographer and after meeting you in person , you are a humble enthusiast and great communicator in your field and I believe that your father would have been instrumental in your early and your self development years in creating such a which I'm absolute sure to be a confident creative and helping individual which you are. I look forward to meeting you again and having a more intuitive chat, but for now respect , and please take the time you like so many of us need to grieve, small steps my friend talk and be open with your loved ones don't keep your feelings to yourself. See you on the flip side at some point Best Regards John
So sorry for your loss. My mum passed away in October last year and this Christmas was very hard and strange without her there. Looking forward to more amazing images from you in 2024. Would be amazing to meet up if you're ever in the Carmarthenshire/Pembrokeshire area of Wales.
So sorry to learn of your loss! I lost my father many years ago and think of him daily! We are fortunate to have had these marvelous relationships! Your photography never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for the recap and thanks for taking me along on so many journeys!
Amazing video. Some stunning pictures of course which is expected from you. I got emotional when you found the hut... so amazing. I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.
My love to you and all the family, deepest sympathies. Looking forward to being with you more this year and making both our lost family members proud! Really enjoyed Gary, a wonderful look back.
Big fan of the channel for a few years now. Liked the vid, great images and sorry for your loss. Lost my Mum a couple of years ago - same age as your Dad. It gets easier with time. Don't stop talking about him, that helps a lot. Best wishes.
Condolences for your loss Gary been there almost 20yrs ago now and have to say it gets easier but you never forget, i am sure your father would be very proud of all you have achieved. Changing tact, i am appalled that anyone who follows your channel would have the nerve to complain about you holding back and not disclosing a particular location, you are so open in general not only about the location you are taking images at but also how you go about it in regards to settings and composition and the educational value you give freely, i have learned so much from your channel that i will be for ever grateful, and in a small way i have booked a workshop with you to Skye in March which i am very much looking forward to to show support and my thanks to you. Keep up the excellent work and see you on Skye.
Gary so sorry to hear about your dad it’s truly awful but as you say life goes on. He would have been immensely proud of you, even more so than he probably let on to you. You’ll continue to take photos that would make him proud, I know I constantly think about my dad especially when out in beautiful places on early mornings and it will help you think that he’s there with you too.
Condolences for you and your familly about your loss, i also wanted to mention that your work is so inspiring for me. I wish you and your familly the best for this new year.
Very sorry to hear about you losing your father - will be thinking about you and hoping you can remember al the good years you would have had together. I'm sure he would have taken great pride in the work that you do and the mix of education and entertainment you give to all of us who follow you.
Hi Gary: I am truly sorry for your lose. I had a similar experience in 1999 when my sister passed away on Dec 13th and then on December 25th my brother passed away. Thank you so much for sharing your image. They are truly amazing. I am in the process of planning a trip to Scotland for May 2025 so your images are very inspirational. Keep well. . . Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Sorry for your loss and condolences to you and your family in these difficult times😢, lost my dad aged 85 Feb 12, 2021 and although it will always hurt the worst so far are all the firsts without him including my 50th birthday which was only 6 mths later. He and mum were separated by only 5 days in age, and she turns 89 in June
Happy New Year Gary, so sorry to hear of your Dad Passing away. Keep your happy memories I bet there are many. what a busy year you have had to produce so many fantastic photos.Well done.
My deepest sympathies for the loss of your father, Gary. Best wishes for the new year. You created some awesome images in 2023. Looking forward to your 2024 adventures and images.
Wow fantastic Gary, although I seem to have missed one of your videos last year, will check it out in a bit, all the best for 2024, thanks for the inspiration.
So sorry Gary about your Dad. I lost my Mum when I was 25 and my Dad when I was 36, You never forget then and always love them. I love your videos especially the Mach Loop ones. Thank you. Dave M.
Hi Gary and Happy New Year!! I lost my father in 2006 and I still think about him every day and know that he is with me today as I go out and about. So Sorry to hear about your dad. Loved the photos in the video and thank you for sharing. I do have to agree with you that some places need to be keep private. Have a great year and Cheers from Texas!!
Watching your photo of the reflection in the lake of the mountain in the Isle of Sky (46:59) reminded me of a time a group of us from our local youth club went camping at the foot of Cadair Idris. One day we all climbed up the mountain as far as Llyn Cau, and when we got up to the lake the water was like glass and the reflection of the mountain made it look like we were looking down thousand's of feet, it gave me a real weird sensation.
Its good to have some mystery and quit frankly its nothing to do with any one else where you take your photos they should be grateful your sharing at all. Please keep sharing your work is amazing just ignore these kind of comments you don't have to explain yourself.
Gary can I just say that I have only just come across you on TH-cam, by chance really as I’m a wildlife photographer and came across your video of the Red Squirrels at Paul Fowlie’s site. Can I just say that I love your landscape work and how you come across as a person, will be following you from now on, you have inspired me to spread my horizons to landscape photography, so thank you for that. Many thanks Paul
Gary, I am sorry for your loss. As someone who has lost people that were extremely close to me, I totally understand and want to thank you for getting back on here. Please know that it is greatly appreciated.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 7 years ago. It’s a pain that never goes away. My dad would hate how much I have grieved for him, but it’s not something that I can control. My thoughts are with you and your family. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photographs!!
Hi Gary, Sorry to hear about your father. I totally agree with not giving the location. I have an amazing fly fishing spot. One night I was lying in bed going through my latest fly fishing magazine and there was a photo of the spot. It had to have been taken from right beside my fire pit. I have the exact same shot. Not only was there a photo, there was detailed directions to the spot. Most of the time I went I was the only one, or maybe one other person. After the article, the next time I went there were thirty cars, after that the farmer put a huge chain across the road, so I totally agree with not giving locations away. Regards, Lord Jack Thair
Sorry to hear of your dad's passing Gary, my condolences to you and your family at this sad time mate. Really enjoyable video. Thank you for showing the highlights of your years work, super photography Gary and thank you for sharing. Wishing you well on your adventures for 2024, take care.
Firstly Gary condolences to you and your family on the loss of your amazing sounding dad. As I said in a Facebook comment his legacy will live on in you sir so you are doing him proud. As for your video full of incredible photos and scenes my one take and the inspiration for me for 2024 is the passion in your voice for what you do and what you see. There is an old saying in the education world "If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it." That’s what your video does so thank you sir 👏👏
It always puts thing's in perspective losing a loved one. I lost my father in 86 and now my mother is close with dementia. All the best to everyone and enjoy life.
My condolences to you and your family Gary. I celebrate the memory of my mother who passed away on the 9th (tomorrow) and even though it will be the 5th anniversary I still miss her terribly. I so enjoyed your look back at 2023 and look forward to your adventures in 2024. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry to hear about your loss Gary, I lost my Dad back in October so I empathise. As always such an excellent video. Thanks for sharing everything as you do.....my photography adventures are better and greatly inspired by your work so thank you. All the best for 2024.
So sorry to hear your father. Tomorrow it's going to be 5 year since I lost the best father a son could ask for. I didn't even get to say goodbye 😢. But I have set up a Facebook photography page with the name he wanted to call me just before I was born. Sebastian's photography in honour of the best dad ever. I'm sure you're dad will be with you on all your adventures taking photographs
First of all sorry for your loss Gary. Just for info, your pictures at the Cosford Air Show were of the Patrouille Suisse and of course the Red Arrows.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Loved your 2023 review and the recap of why you liked the top ten. I enjoyed all your shoots. I recognised the images of Arymer Cove which were actually Westcombe Beach in South Devon. If you parked in the Arymer Cove little car park the first cove you come to is that. Further round to the right as you face the sea is Westcombe. I think one of your pics were of Arymer. Two fantastic locations specially this time of year for a sunset. Looking forward to more of your adventures this year. Best wishes, Chris
Thanks once again for another instructive, enjoyable and thoroughly satisfying experience. I would love to participate in one of your workshops but at my age you might be spending more time looking after me than doing the photography bit, so I'll stay at home and learn. Nothing prepares us for the experience of death, so sincere condolences. I really mean that. And wishing you another satisfying year in 2024.
Firstly, I'd just like to say how sorry I am to hear of the loss of your father. My condolences to you and your family. This was a nice to remember 2023's video's and see some new images not previously seen. Wishing you all the best for 2024 and look forward to following along.
First of all Gary i would like to say sorry to hear about your father passing away and send my condolences to you and your family. Another great video. I remember every one of them. When you said about some of the nasty comments that you got about the secret waterfall in Glencoe I was disgusted and would say to them find it yourself and don't make stupid comments. It is your prerogative to keep certain locations a secret and i would do the same. I have photographed Elgol for a sunset. A bit dodgy getting over all the large stones as you would know,but a great place to photograph. I thought image's were absolutely amazing and you should be very proud of them. Wishing you a Happy New Year and a very successful 2024 and look forward to seeing your video's.
Condolences to you and your family Gary on the passing of your father. This was a great year of photography Gary I particularly liked the fine art images near Norfolk.
Gary, so sorry to hear of your loss I lost my Mum on 2nd December so, like yours no doubt, this last Christmas was a strange one. Your videos continue to inspire us all and as you have said many times there is often a deep connection with nature and the environment when we are absorbed in the photography process. This is truer now at times like these. Keep your chin up fella, keep doing it for your greatest fan, I have no doubt he was incredibly proud of you!
Nice collection from a busy year, looking forward to your visit next week ( thanks for the mention but don’t think that’s getting you mates rates, but I’ll throw in an extra pot noodle, prepared just the way you like it)
My sincerely condolences Gary 🙏 Well said about secret locations.... I'm a tadpole in the world of TH-cam and made a video about a secret Gorge and waterfall in the Yorkshire Dales and got slated for it, even though I did say at the start of the video I would not disclose the location due to safety reasons. All the best for the coming year. Daz.
That's a tough call Gary! say no more but we all go through it, life was never meant to be easy and its not! Thank you for sharing your images with us all and lets hope 2024 is a good year......
Hi Gary, another enthralling video, great to lookback on your year and wonderful picture's. Looking forward to seeing your trips and video's in 2024 keep doing what you do mate.
So sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and the family Gary. I wish you every success for 2024. I am so looking forward to what you have to bring us in the coming year.
My deepest condolences to you Gary I know how this feels having recently lost my dad in Nov last year he was 90 & he was a pro photographer like yourself he left all his negatives etc to me & Ive hundreds of photos to get through scanning them lots of local people are all trying to get images from me so a very sad time for both of us, all best Gary love your videos which I follow avidly Thank you x
What a great walk through of your year Gary. Looks like I missed some of your videos. I’ll go on catchup! Loved the Lake District stuff particularly Cat Bells. Show us more in 24👍
Fantastic work, love watching your outings and seeing the end, results, having just started my self this year, I get frustrated comparing my pictures with guys like your self, but keep plodding on lol Keep up the good work love it one day will get the right results
My deepest sympathies for the loss of your father. Again a great video and I am looking forward to see the results of your planned trips this year. All the best wishes!
Thanks for sharing this video with us. You are dedicated to your craft and it shows with the results you have. good luck for the coming year and I look forward to more of your entertain and informative videos.
My father died 21 years ago, just before Xmas. Grief never gets any smaller, but other things in your life expand over time. Some things will always take you right back to the pain, but the number of occasions when you reflect on your father without so much heartache will increase.

Condolences to you and your family. Hold all the wonderful memories of your dad close to your heart.
Was really sorry to hear of your loss Gary so once again my condolences to you and your family. I wish you a successful 2024 and look forward to your adventures ahead and the opportunity to continue to learn from such an accomplished photographer
You’ve done it again Gary. Bloody awesome.
Cheers 👍👍
Some lovely shots there Gary. You should be deservedly proud. Condolences for your dad.
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your father - thank you for sharing your experience and your emotions!! And thank you for your advice and teachings about photography - you inspire me!!
Most sincere condolences Gary.
You are an astonishing photographer Gary. Love your work.
Your dad did a great work giving the world a very decent person. Certainly, he was very proud of that. Regarding the locations, TH-cam is not a public place
so sorry your loss ! wishing and your family all the best for 2024 !! looking forward to following along on your adventures !!
Great video and great work Gary, your Dad would be proud.
Happy New year, condolences for your loss, you have no obligation to say where anywhere is, there are too many entitled people out there, they can get off their backsides and go walking themselves !
Hi Gary, So sorry to hear of your loss, but happy to hear your dad was your greatest fan. I lost my dad in March 2023, 47:00 and he was just three days short of his 93rd birthday. My mother died six days before Christmas in 1994, unexpectedly, and it’s never an easy time, not that there is ever a good time to lose a loved one.
Ayrmer Cove in Devon is pronounced ‘Armour’. That’s how my aunt, uncle and cousins, who lived in Devon pronounced it. I spent many summer holidays in the South Hams district of Devon and have been to Ayrmer Cove countless times in all sorts of conditions, but have never photographed it. I need to put that right. I remember seeing the Royal Yacht Britannia sailing past Ayrmer Cove with the Queen on board in the year of her silver jubilee in 1977. She had boarded in Plymouth and was in her way to Portsmouth.
I think my favourites were looking up at Cat Bells and that frozen lake with the three rocks in the foreground, I can’t remember where in Scotland.
Good for you for not giving away that waterfall location. Seeing what happed to the famous sycamore tree at Sycamore Gap shows us what people are capable of.
All the very best for 2024.
Sorry for your loss Gary, my sincere condolences.
Sorry for your loss Gary. It's a great homage to your dad!
My favourite photo of yours is the lady painting the lighthouse ❤ reminds me of summer

But I have set up a Facebook photography page with the name he wanted to call me just before I was born. Sebastian's photography in honour of the best dad ever. I'm sure you're dad will be with you on all your adventures taking photographs
Condolences to you and your family, Gary, all the Best for 2024
My condolences to you & your family. Good choice of images but even better choice of fleece. I have exactly the same one 😀

Hope you get to catch up with the boys from Lakenheath Gary - cracking photo that one. 🤙🏼
Hopefully see you on the Cads in 2024 😎
Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Loved your 2023 review and the recap of why you liked the top ten.
I enjoyed all your shoots.
I recognised the images of Arymer Cove which were actually Westcombe Beach in South Devon. If you parked in the Arymer Cove little car park the first cove you come to is that. Further round to the right as you face the sea is Westcombe. I think one of your pics were of Arymer. Two fantastic locations specially this time of year for a sunset.
Looking forward to more of your adventures this year.
Best wishes, Chris
Thanks once again for another instructive, enjoyable and thoroughly satisfying experience. I would love to participate in one of your workshops but at my age you might be spending more time looking after me than doing the photography bit, so I'll stay at home and learn. Nothing prepares us for the experience of death, so sincere condolences. I really mean that. And wishing you another satisfying year in 2024.
Firstly, I'd just like to say how sorry I am to hear of the loss of your father. My condolences to you and your family. This was a nice to remember 2023's video's and see some new images not previously seen. Wishing you all the best for 2024 and look forward to following along.
First of all Gary i would like to say sorry to hear about your father passing away and send my condolences to you and your family.
Another great video.
I remember every one of them.
When you said about some of the nasty comments that you got about the secret waterfall in Glencoe I was disgusted and would say to them find it yourself and don't make stupid comments.
It is your prerogative to keep certain locations a secret and i would do the same.
I have photographed Elgol for a sunset.
A bit dodgy getting over all the large stones as you would know,but a great place to photograph.
I thought image's were absolutely amazing and you should be very proud of them.
Wishing you a Happy New Year and a very successful 2024 and look forward to seeing your video's.
Good Year Gary
Condolences to you and your family Gary on the passing of your father.
This was a great year of photography Gary I particularly liked the fine art images near Norfolk.
Gary, so sorry to hear of your loss I lost my Mum on 2nd December so, like yours no doubt, this last Christmas was a strange one. Your videos continue to inspire us all and as you have said many times there is often a deep connection with nature and the environment when we are absorbed in the photography process. This is truer now at times like these. Keep your chin up fella, keep doing it for your greatest fan, I have no doubt he was incredibly proud of you!
Nice collection from a busy year, looking forward to your visit next week ( thanks for the mention but don’t think that’s getting you mates rates, but I’ll throw in an extra pot noodle, prepared just the way you like it)
My sincerely condolences Gary 🙏
Well said about secret locations.... I'm a tadpole in the world of TH-cam and made a video about a secret Gorge and waterfall in the Yorkshire Dales and got slated for it, even though I did say at the start of the video I would not disclose the location due to safety reasons.
All the best for the coming year.

That's a tough call Gary! say no more but we all go through it, life was never meant to be easy and its not! Thank you for sharing your images with us all and lets hope 2024 is a good year......
