How on earth do you come up with all the different “…..and I do have a face like. etc” Is it a joint effort from all the guys you pal around with? Your bloopers are epic. Its like watching a car race just for the crashes. 😂……only nobody gets hurt.
I had tears in my eyes laughing so hard. I love this. A couple of my favorites is Adam's look when he was ripping pages out of your book and Amanda in the log paddling. Thanks for thinking of us and sharing this with us.
Now I know why you don't take more photos, it's 99.99% bloopers! Congrats on getting through another year Gavin and his better half! Happy New Year and I hope you have a great well travelled 2022.
Another year over and many a belly ache laugh throughout !! Thanks for keeping us all sane during another shitstorm ! Credit has also to go to the supporting cast who managed to keep it together more than Gavin :-) well done buddy .. hopefully you get to come over this way in 2022
The whole saggy bag of noodles skit was one of my favorites from the year. Looking forward to the shenanigans of 2022. Wishing you, Amanda, cats and Cleatus a happy new year!
Discovered your channel this evening, can’t stop laughing. It’s 1am here, I’m knackered and everyone in the house is asleep.. I can’t stop laughing - I’m going to get in serious trouble with the boss if I wake the kids up! 😂
22:03 (ish)........ how did you keep a straight (ish) face. I'm crying. Amanda is hilarious, you have a good 'un there. Thanks for the laughs this year, looking forward to next year.
Thanks to you, Amanda and the "others" this past year had many momentous laughs! Enjoy your style of teaching and look forward to this next year. Cheers!
Do you ever think that maybe, just maybe, you've been out in the woods just a wee bit too long? Happy New Year and we'll look forward to more comedy dynamite in the coming year.
Watching these brings back me memories of watching these and where I was at life then. You’ve brought so much laughter and joy to me personally over these last few years but especially through this last year. You truly don’t understand the impact you’ve had. Take care friend and all the best for the coming year.
I got to see my mum (84) for the first time in 2 years. she came to me for a few days. So that was a right good treat. Very funny video. Hope your Christmas and Boxing Day have been enjoyable
Well done. Thanks for the laughs. Your book I received as a gift this Christmas is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for including your signature…. Or cant tell if that was a small child having a tantrum… Either way thank you. 👍🏼
Life is like a roll of shit tickets. The closer to the end you get the faster it goes. Can’t believe 2021 went this fast. Looking forward to another year of your great videos. Happy New Year Gavin and company.
I just love your comedy and banter with your friends, it is honestly good. Your channel has been one of the few things that made me laugh lately!!! Looking forward to more great laughs in 2022!!
Don't know how you guys ever get any "work" done. 🤣🤣🤣 Judging by those gifts, the romance is still alive and well at Casa Hardcastle. 😉 Here's hoping for a better 2022 for us all.
This was comedy gold content, I couldn't breathe I was laughing so much!! I must of done at least one year's worth of stomach crunches 🤣🤣🤣 so that's the new years fitness resolution complete. Lovely wedding rings Gavin and Amanda💍 Thanks Gavin, Amanda, Brent, Uncle Grumpy and co. Keep up the great work in 2022 📸❤️
Classic Package, laughed all the way through it. Now time for a Coffee. Hope you had a Great Christmas and cheers to a better 2022, look forward to the next adventure.
Laughter is SO contagious!! Thanks man.. PS: You have, without a doubt, the best closing 'end of video' (whatever you call it?) of any youtube channel I have ever seen!! And, as painful as that was, or looked, you STILL came up laughing!!!
It’s been a great year of video content from yourself and friends. The quality of your photos and videos are excellent along with the variety of locations and the extremely funny humour you provide. You deserve far more subscribers than you’ve got, your channel is a far superior and more entertaining than many others out there. I look forward to see more in 2022 and I wish you another great year. However I would like to see more videos with you, Nick, Tom and the one who photographs tree’s a lot as you are all great :)
I should have heeded your warning about not drinking a beverage while watching this. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for all the laughs and the cheer. I wish you happy and restful holidays, and look forward to seeing more in the new year!
You dirty Englishman 😅😅 thanks for putting many smiles on my face in 2021, here's to 2022. Wishing you all the love, laughter and photograph's for 2022
I think you've had a great year Gavin, sharing your awesome adventures in the Canadian wilderness. Spare a thought for poor old Thom Heaton who's been stuck photographing the U.K. for two years! [His 'vanlife' sideline is proving quite watchable though...]
Well, you did warn me! Perhaps trying to eat my supper wasn't the best idea whilst trying to watch this video! All the best for 2022 Gavin and thanks for the laughs (and the photography of course) in 2021.
I needed that video and laughs. 8 weeks with my leg immobilized and elevated is getting very old. Thank you and I hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year to you guys.
Thanks for all the laughs. Your videos have made this past year bearable. I can't wait for 2022 and what the face is going to look like at silly o'clock!
Thank you for all the laughs. At the risk of sounding cheesy, your videos have made my evening last year (I'm sending you back some positive vibes :-) ). Your book arrived well and is very beautiful. I wish you both a happy new year!
Hahah loved it thanks bro, first day back to work and I needed this watching it twice. The other day I was having such a bad day and with your one video about Christmas party I was in tears crying thank you Gavin.
Happy New Year Gavin and Amanda. Been fantastic watching your videos and seeing your wonderful shots and places to get to. Also having a great laugh. All the best from Lancaster, England
Fantastic Christmas presents you had Gavin 😁 Amanda cares completely about you 👌 This retrospective was so, so, so good! And the descriptions of the early faces....so funny 🤣🤣🤣 !!! Thank you so much Gavin for your extraordinary vlogs vs humor vs photos during this year!!! For sure 2022 will bring you more incredible vlogs and photos!!!
Hey! I LOVE your channel, it is excellent photography and totally hilarious! 🤣 My husband and I enjoy watching the both of you!🤣 You bring inspiring photography and much needed laughter all tied up in common sense! Thank you!😁
It must take an absolute bloody age to get anything done with you lot! 🤣 Hysterical mate. Hope you’ve had an epic Christmas and here’s to a fantastic New Year 👍
🤣😂😆 I look forward to these comps at the end of the year! Good stuff. Well at least you guys cant say you dont have fun filming these! Happy New Year to you and Amanda. Looking forward to some epics photos and laughs in '22! 🤓
My sweet hubby gave me the same gift you gave Amanda for Christmas! Don't worry about the inscription, if your handwriting is anything like your signature nobody will be able to read it! Love the unicorn sticker, I suppose the book is okay too!😆
Omg..this is why you are my favourite photographer to watch on TH-cam..the bloody laughs 🤣🤣. The skit with Brett..Clean that up you dirty English bastard!!! Classic. Wishing you and Amanda happy holidays and look forward to another amazing year 😄👍. From Sth Australia
Like your videos Gavin. I will say Amanda is a lot easier to look at than you but, hey, I guess you already knew that. Well done. Looking forward to 2022 videos. By the way, I did get a 24-70 F2.8 for Christmas... I bought it myself but my loving wife agreed that we could call it her gift to me. Strange how that works.
A Fototripper TH-cam Channel Review. A Tour-de-Force, a shining beacon of its genre. From the themes ( 151.5 minutes of sleep, a face like a manicured turnip, always wearing appropriate footwear) which repeat through the episodes, to the carefully curated cast of characters, the Fototripper channel is, without a hint of doubt, the best Photography Vlog Mockumentary on TH-cam. All the elements for success have been woven together by the production team to form a whole that is much, much more, than the sum of its parts. The “Gavin Hardcastle” character, probably played by someone in real life by the name of Walter Thicklethwaite, is the embodiment of the Professional Yorkshireman, grasping for any sponsorship opportunity (most likely for toilet tissue…) that might come his way. He manages to source images, some of which display a Heatonesque elegance, which lend just enough realism to the episodes to maintain the veneer of believability. The “Romantic Interest” is played beautifully to be a Kooky Canuck, mad as a box of frogs type who came to the production not only with stunning goods looks and sunny disposition but a 1 ton truck too! It’s all too easy to see the Lonely Hearts ad that GH would have written: “Debonair lifestyle photographer, early 40’s, seeks willowy blonde, age 30-40 with 1 ton truck for good times and fun. Send photos of truck” As for the sidekicks, “Adam Landscape Photographer of the Year 2018 Gibbs” is a perfect as a deadpan foil to the hyperventilating lead character and lends a further layer of credibility to the concept, assisting in the suspension of our disbelief. Conversely, Brent, and his alter-ego Fabienne, have clearly been cast to do the opposite. A perfect application of the concept of Ying and Yang. The most skilful element of the production though is how the characters portray their love and passion for Landscape Photography. We all know how much effort goes in to achieve those killer images and the FT team are thoroughly convincing, in spite of being helicoptered from one location to the next for quick smash and grab efforts. Quality content like this is wasted on TH-cam; the broadcast networks are no doubt queueing up to see the Fototripper wand being waved over the “opening a box” and “lifestyle influencer” genres to conjour yet more magic. I, for one, can hardly wait.
Oh God... "Clean up that saggy bag of noodles, ya dirty Englishman!" Haahaa 😅 I'm crying. 😹😭 I don't know how you can ever get any videos made with all the gags and laughs. Thanks for the shenanigans Gavin!
I watch these first thing in the morning, and what a better way to start the day then uncontrolled laughter and sometimes uncontrolled defecation. Thanks for all the laughs 😃
Thanks for the past 12 months I think we have needed someone like you to put a smile back into life.
It can't be a bad year if you have these many laughs. Happy New Year!
11:06 Imagine you are hiking in that area and all you hear is that contagious laughter from the mountains XD
How on earth do you come up with all the different “…..and I do have a face like. etc” Is it a joint effort from all the guys you pal around with? Your bloopers are epic. Its like watching a car race just for the crashes. 😂……only nobody gets hurt.
Brent and Grumpton are the best, really hope you guys work together again this year. The bloopers are worth it alone.
Thanks for this year's laughs and fantastic videos. Wish the best for the new 2022 for you and your loved ones.
I had tears in my eyes laughing so hard. I love this. A couple of my favorites is Adam's look when he was ripping pages out of your book and Amanda in the log paddling. Thanks for thinking of us and sharing this with us.

My favourite part is Amanda in her log not going anywhere canoe . . . . . love your playfulness Amanda!
The whole saggy bag of noodles skit was one of my favorites from the year. Looking forward to the shenanigans of 2022.
Wishing you, Amanda, cats and Cleatus a happy new year!
Discovered your channel this evening, can’t stop laughing. It’s 1am here, I’m knackered and everyone in the house is asleep.. I can’t stop laughing - I’m going to get in serious trouble with the boss if I wake the kids up! 😂
You two are hilarious together. Truly enjoy your vlogs.
Happy new year to you both and to all the extended peoples in your lives !!
Is it even Christmas without a Fototripper bloopers video..... Merry Christmas Amanda & Gavin :)
22:03 (ish)........ how did you keep a straight (ish) face. I'm crying. Amanda is hilarious, you have a good 'un there.
Thanks for the laughs this year, looking forward to next year.

That was very entertaining and you where right. Do not be drinking anything while looking! THANK YOU for doing this. Best bloopers of 2021👍🏻

You guys are fantastic.
Thanks for this video Gavin, just the kind of light hearted fun I needed. Looks like you have such fun making these.
Thanks for all the laughs and amazing photography. It's certainly been an odd year and you and Amanda are a welcome relief.
I can hear Thomas Heaton crying.
Awesome :)
I just love your comedy and banter with your friends, it is honestly good. Your channel has been one of the few things that made me laugh lately!!! Looking forward to more great laughs in 2022!!
The cackling and wheezing with Brent had me in stitches. So much so I watched it over and over lol
The best stuff there is out there on the Tube. Happy new year Garrett.. Garvin?
I love the way you guys bring comedy into photography. Great to have fun doing what you love.
Don't know how you guys ever get any "work" done. 🤣🤣🤣
Judging by those gifts, the romance is still alive and well at Casa Hardcastle. 😉
Here's hoping for a better 2022 for us all.
This was comedy gold content, I couldn't breathe I was laughing so much!! I must of done at least one year's worth of stomach crunches 🤣🤣🤣 so that's the new years fitness resolution complete. Lovely wedding rings Gavin and Amanda💍 Thanks Gavin, Amanda, Brent, Uncle Grumpy and co. Keep up the great work in 2022 📸❤️
seriously, the funniest thing I've seen this year, thanks Gavin
non stop laughs, loved it! so grateful!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Classic Package, laughed all the way through it. Now time for a Coffee. Hope you had a Great Christmas and cheers to a better 2022, look forward to the next adventure.
... and a Happy New Year 'Mr and Mrs H' - is that wedding band on your lefty, eh?
Great Fun all round.
Great. Thank you very much.
All the best for 2022!
Laughter is SO contagious!! Thanks man.. PS: You have, without a doubt, the best closing 'end of video' (whatever you call it?) of any youtube channel I have ever seen!! And, as painful as that was, or looked, you STILL came up laughing!!!
It’s been a great year of video content from yourself and friends. The quality of your photos and videos are excellent along with the variety of locations and the extremely funny humour you provide.

🤣🤣🤣 This is funnier than anything we have on British (pc humour) television.
Thanks to you all and best wishes for2022.
I should have heeded your warning about not drinking a beverage while watching this. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for all the laughs and the cheer. I wish you happy and restful holidays, and look forward to seeing more in the new year!
You dirty Englishman 😅😅 thanks for putting many smiles on my face in 2021, here's to 2022. Wishing you all the love, laughter and photograph's for 2022
Thanks for yet another year of great photography and good fun !
I think you've had a great year Gavin, sharing your awesome adventures in the Canadian wilderness.
Spare a thought for poor old Thom Heaton who's been stuck photographing the U.K. for two years! [His 'vanlife' sideline is proving quite watchable though...]
Well, you did warn me! Perhaps trying to eat my supper wasn't the best idea whilst trying to watch this video! All the best for 2022 Gavin and thanks for the laughs (and the photography of course) in 2021.
I needed that video and laughs. 8 weeks with my leg immobilized and elevated is getting very old. Thank you and I hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year to you guys.
Get well soon ;)
That double take at 1:30 😂🤣 Amanda is the queen of 21st C. screwball comedy! Merry Christmas to you both!
Thanks for all the laughs. Your videos have made this past year bearable. I can't wait for 2022 and what the face is going to look like at silly o'clock!
I always look forward to this video each year. I enjoy you keep the laughs coming!
Thank you for all the laughs. At the risk of sounding cheesy, your videos have made my evening last year (I'm sending you back some positive vibes :-) ). Your book arrived well and is very beautiful. I wish you both a happy new year!
Thanks a lot Vliris :)
Hahah loved it thanks bro, first day back to work and I needed this watching it twice. The other day I was having such a bad day and with your one video about Christmas party I was in tears crying thank you Gavin.

Another year passed... At least you have a lot to show for it! Loving your videos!
Drinking wine during viewing is hazardous as well. Good show, mate.
Thanks for all the laughs and teachings again this year Gavin! 👍😄
It must take an absolute bloody age to get anything done with you lot! 🤣
Hysterical mate. Hope you’ve had an epic Christmas and here’s to a fantastic New Year 👍
You guys are the best!

You’ve all made my year 😂 looking forward to next year and more laughter. Happy New Year
Happy New Year, Gavin and Amanda! I thoroughly enjoy your videos...the most entertaining out there...and informative as well :)
Be very careful with that prune juice, I talk from experience. Fun time guys, fun times.
I've experienced the consequences of your prune juice indulgence...
Hilarious Gav, thanks for the vlogs and the images you have shared, happy new year to you and your family, you're a gem buddy
On my 3rd rewatch. Saggy bag of noodles is just the best 😂
My sweet hubby gave me the same gift you gave Amanda for Christmas! Don't worry about the inscription, if your handwriting is anything like your signature nobody will be able to read it! Love the unicorn sticker, I suppose the book is okay too!😆
Classic. Thanks for uploading these.
Omg..this is why you are my favourite photographer to watch on TH-cam..the bloody laughs 🤣🤣. The skit with Brett..Clean that up you dirty English bastard!!! Classic. Wishing you and Amanda happy holidays and look forward to another amazing year 😄👍. From Sth Australia

Nice wedding band Gavin, congrats to you both, Merry Christmas!
I needed this video mate. I am in lock down in Australia and a needed a laugh keep up the great work Gavin....
I've been a good boy Miss Amanda! lol HNY you lot and stay safe.
So much fun! I do hope you really did get a lens or at least some chocolate for Christmas, though. 😆
That were great Gav. All the best for 2022 mate, do we have to wait a year for a blooper reel.
The funniest photoblogger ever. Nothing to do with the photo, but it's funny 😁
Hey Amanda, you blew it by giving Gavin head&shoulders! How is he going to have camouflage in the snow now? ❄❄❄
Like your videos Gavin. I will say Amanda is a lot easier to look at than you but, hey, I guess you already knew that. Well done. Looking forward to 2022 videos. By the way, I did get a 24-70 F2.8 for Christmas... I bought it myself but my loving wife agreed that we could call it her gift to me. Strange how that works.
Best video of the year :-D

I don't know how you can ever get any videos made with all the gags and laughs. Thanks for the shenanigans Gavin!
Happy new year ballbag! thanks for the laughs
I watch these first thing in the morning, and what a better way to start the day then uncontrolled laughter and sometimes uncontrolled defecation. Thanks for all the laughs 😃
Hopefully 2022 brings more shenanigans in the ongoing quest for awe.
Nose hair trimmers are awesome! You'll love them too! 🤣
Thanks for the memories!
So many laughs, well done on making this!! All the best pal, big love to you and yours for 2022! Saxicolous lichen and subscribe.
