    I work at Fujifilm. I’ll put a word their way (lots of bowing with hands together) because that pano is so good I think I’ve found the image I want on my wall of my new kitchen diner when it is finished next month. I think that is your best ever image Gavin. What did Adam say when you showed him. I bet he said, “It’s alright”. I will send Peter Wigginton (Head of Fujifilm UK) a link to this video and see what he says. He owes us as we just bought a £40K printer from him. You never know you might become a Fujifilm Ambassador!! You might even get a great big shiny badge with Ambassador on it and everything!!! It’s like all your Christmases rolled into one when you get an image like that. A pano on Fujifilm. What will Brent do. He will be spitting feathers. Great job!!!

    Read a comment earlier on this video saying it took them two years, but finally subscribed and commented. For me, it took 3 days and I'm completely in love with this channel and your videos man, keep up the fantastic work. Your content is stupidly underrated (in terms of numbers of views), but I guess that's what happens when focusing on a niche audience.
    If I had money and influence at the BBC, I'd make a photography version of Top Gear, Hire Gavin as the main host, and send him all around the world to fuck about with his wife and crew. The result of that would be an absolute classic series.

    It was a lot of fun to see you enjoy taking that shot! I can't agree more, beautiful job. I was watching your video for the first time on a new 4K TV that is way bigger than it needs to be and had to pause the screen and walk up to admire the pano. Stunning. I can't say I "enjoy" the shots you consider failures, as I would be proud if I took most of them, but I do appreciate the honesty and humor of the content. Cheers!

    What impressed me the most after the stunning images was the obvious love your wife has for you, it is apparent in her face throughout this video, she adores you, but I'm probably not saying something you don't know already.

    If we hadn't watched this video, we would not have believed it was a real scene. Yes, possibly Landscape Photographer of the Year quality. Bravo. Surely Fuji, you want to be associated with a prize winning photographer. Let him keep the GFX100s and 3 lenses.

  • @sagi1547

    Every day at the office, I look at that Poplar trees print. It's amazing. It is hanging alongside side the Amethyst late print. The warmth of one next to the cool colours of the second is great.
    Fuji, come on, let him have it back.

  • @OldGirlPhotography
    @OldGirlPhotography 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Superb. Not sure if you noticed but the trees in the image around the 5:00 mark almost look like dancers on the water. So very cool. Well done. And Fuji - pay attention - brand ambassador in waiting...don't keep him waiting long.

    Hi Gavin. Well, I've been waiting for this since I first saw this image back in October on flickr! It drew my eye as soon as I saw it and keep going back to it frequently. I think you're right about if being one of, if not the best pictures you have ever taken. Truly outstanding. What an amazing find too, and total respect to you for realising the best time to take it and what was involved. A winner!

    You are fantastico! I mentioned this before but I just can't get enough of your videos, they are an absolute joy to watch! Fuji should definitely give you the 100s camera but that may cause Grumpacious to have Fuji envy. To help smooth things over you should probably give him your (as the professional masking tape indicates) landscape photographer of the year trophy, LOL. Again, I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos for the tips, scenery and laughs, well done.

    Hi All, with the trees in the water as they are, is that a beaver pond? Ansel Adams, after unsuccessful attempts one day to create an image of (HalfDome) in Yosemite Valley the way he liked, thought he would use a red filter, b&w film, to produce the image he was imagining. After, coming out exactly the way he wanted it to look, was moved so greatly that he went on to develop an accurate system of visualization, development, and exposure for the ever so unpredictable world of black and white film. I have a funny feeling a "hunt, or movement if-you-will" similar to this has grabbed you also; so wonderful to see and behold. You guys are really taking the art another step forward. Also, books like that usually come up with a "big-bang" at the end.

    Fuji let's face it. You need to have a qualified photographer to test your camera for a period of time that is long enough to really make a difference to the buying public. Gavin is the man to do that.
    Let him keep the camera and all the gear. More importantly send him some spare batteries. He's sure to need them.
