I don't know which sounds worse, the sound of a Fujifilm GFX50 medium format camera clattering down a rocky slope or Brent's wailing as it bounces off the jagged rocks.
He's not a happy camper.
On the plus side we manage to capture a great looking panorama for our Panoholics Anonymous photography course and I think the battle scars on his camera look kinda RAD!
I'm back in the Canadian Rockies having just completed my Canadian Rockies photography workshop. I meet up with Brent Henderson and we head deep into the mountains where Brent drops a huge revelation regarding his marital status.
I'm slightly worried about his mental state after viewing his wedding photo. His Photoshopping skills have me equally worried.
The photography topic of discussion today is 'cheater panos' and this hike into the mountains gives us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the results. It's also a banter and bloopers extravaganza with lots of camera talk and shenanigans.
We share a 'joy free' beverage at our camp spot before rising in the dark under a full moon to hopefully shoot sunrise.
What kind of wildlife interrupts our morning scheming and is Brent really smelling a bear or is it something far, far more beastly?
There's really only one way to find out.

Thanks for watching

I was one of those 2024 Canadian Rockies workshop members. I can’t say enough about how much fun it was. Gavin and Amanda are exactly what you see on these videos. They are great companions and hosts. Brent joined us as well (unfortunately Karen couldn’t make it). Gavin knows the area well and kept us busy taking photos. He spent his time ensuring we were getting what we wanted from our photography - giving us pointers and taking us to wonderful photographic points of interest. The entertainment and new found photography skills was worth every minute of time and money. Gavin, Amanda and Brent - thank you!
Thanks for the very kind words Norm. It was great having you onboard :)
You two need a photography sitcom. Love the back and forth.
You're watching it...
I love Brent! So glad he is in your video again!
I agree. Sorry about the camera though.
I love when you are in Brent’s videos.
Thanks for another year of quality content, Gavin. No one mixes education & comedy like you. Hope you, Amanda & the cats enjoy the holidays and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the annual blooper real!
Woo Hoo. Less than 800 to go to 100k. That’s awesome. And of course the video was awesome too. 😁 It had to feel good being back in the ol stomping grounds with Brent.
Hi Gavin glad to see you have not lost your Yorkshire sense of humour you two are a great combination I am a similar age and things you say are like my life lol 😂
I loved those shots, gorgioso they were. And way to play up the “official Battle Damage” for Brent, I could tell it was of great comfort to him. “You should be a motivational speaker” - Brent
You’re one crazy dude. 😊 Thanks for the FUN vid!!
Great to see you guys together again, always a hoot to watch. More please! 🙏
Thank you to both of you ! You are great ! 👍🏽🙏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
Tremendous images. Looking forward to the course! Too funny! Abbot and Costello move over.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I've just got into Photography this year and I just love your videos and your are the best.
Fun, photography and friendship. I love your videos with Brent. You 2 are the entertainment benchmark of all TH-cam
Whenever you two get together it’s a lot of fun.
I use a single pole Gavin known as ‘The Stick’ and it goes everywhere with me, your Iceland footage was phenomenal and inspired me to get a sweet handheld shot off a narrow ledge in an ice covered gorge, a little sketchy although I’ve gleaned much confidence from your amazing channel… BTW the waterfalls of Ricketts Glen are beginning to freeze nicely with many otherworldly ice features taking form ❤🥶
Nice video, thanks for sharing !!
Full moon, elk bugling, no snow, had to be the 17SEP'24. And NO invitation ??? Who knew......
Great reminder to make sure you've set your tripod right. But genuinely does look fine. A few scratches is nowt, if it's still working reight.
You always, and I mean always, make me laugh! Well done, Gavin! Those photos are fantastic!
love you guys together !! such a pity you didnt get the broll of the camera going for a roll !!
Again I know why this is my favourite Sunday evening entertainment. Well played guys.
what views! and that elk call! sorry for camera fall brent but it did look battle scar-cool after yes, did valentine get eaten by a bear? all so priceless, so fun. thank you for existing. 🌟🌟🌟
We'll never know what happened to Valentine. Perhaps he still roams those peaks...
What a rom com this is and Brent's shot in the beginning. great video
So much fun. Thanks.
I am so sorry, Brent.
Many thanks, appreciate your humour and the amazing talent you have , fantastique pictures
Superb , I'm still laughing at both your antics!
Awesome video - always a winning combo when you and Brent team up.
When I saw the camper IN Banff I really had to shake my head - you drive it all the way back to the West from NS - just wow!
yes, it was stupid of me.,
@@fototripperwell I was only thinking, wow, what a drive. I'd like to do it on one hand but on the other, well, what a drive.
You two are awesome together.
This made my Monday morning brighter. Thanks guys.
😅 Right on! Across the board~ Merry Christmas to you both~ 🤝 Great wedding photo! 🤣 Still watching......
Great show! Awesome images ❤
Love to see you in Brent's video.
Today's been a fairly sh*t day and this video is just what I needed to make me smile and even laugh out loud. Thank you 🙂
Loved the video! Great fun!
Wolfgang
Brutal about the camera! I fell a few weeks ago climbing rocks and my camera went flying, it was ok, but my lens is now a paperweight. 🤦🏻♀️ It’s so maddening!! 😒 Other than the camera, great video! Thanks for sharing the hike with us.
Getting the lens hood on seems to be on par with getting the Tokina 11-16 hood off. That thing is a beast!
Great Video. I don't recognize the location overview from the opening first panoramic viewpoint in the video. May I ask where that was? I am assuming it is somewhere along the Ice fields Parkway?
Brilliant, thank you 🙏
Welcome back Brent!
Just funny as Fook ....great upload 🤣😂. That poor camera, I could feel the pain having done something similar myself.
Venison fillet steak cooked in red wine and.....juniper berries. Give it a go. As for that beer; I read pistake at first. Well it is alcohol free. Great vlog thanks for sharing.
I understand you can use the juniper berries that are coated in green as proper wilderness sour dough starter... the green coating is a natural bacteria that coats the berries during their seasonal growth. Have not tried it yet, but you can check it out on TH-cam to verify the recipe... It is something to try 😌🙏
Cool thank you for the tip.
Gavin ....just a suggestion that has worked for me with cold sores....I switched to a toothpaste that is sls free (sodium laurel sulfate) haven't had a cold sore in 2 yrs or more since switching...hope it helps. Btw...love your channel and your instructional methods...keep it up!
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Ouch, that is unfortunate - cold sores are due to herpes simplex virus. Not sure toothpaste will heal that...
LOL. I was outside this morning, looked up, and thought, why does it seem like there's never any clouds in the sky, in the morning hours, when there's a full moon; I've noticed this for the last 3 full moons. I came in the house and went straight for my computer. I woke up my computer and TH-cam was still up from last night, and this video was listed, so like a true ADHD person, I completely forgot why I was on the computer and watch this video instead. As I'm watching the video, you reminded me why I came on the computer in the first place. SMH
This is what I got from Google, "The idea that there are "no clouds" in the sky during a full moon is a misconception; the moon itself does not directly affect cloud formation, and the presence or absence of clouds on a given night is primarily determined by weather patterns, not the lunar phase - meaning you can see clouds during a full moon just as you can on any other night.".
Unless there are no clouds...
I was out there for the first time in June, just absolutely beautiful. I'm from the Toronto area, so these views are insane. Awesome video!
Ooh, I feel you on the sleep thing... I shoot both night skies and wildlife (early mornings) so sleep is a luxury I don't have 😂
Heaton furious and jealous as hell you’ve replaced him with a new bestie . 😂. Nice vid G man!
Brent is the original bestie from back in the day...
Very enjoyable. Always enjoy your videos 👏👏👌🏼
This was hilarious. Feel sorry for Brent's camera, it is hard to see them tumble. I broke my XT-4 and 10-24 on a rocky beach the lens was RIPped off the mount. But hey I can buy it for 18 squares of Sh** tickets! :D
Another great video Gavin....(should put an out take video together Gavin...) Hope Brent's camera is ok...Colin Devon UK.
Ive been watching for awhile, and if there is one person that I could compare Gavin to is BENNY HILL ( Remember him ? ). Use to be a Late Night Fave here in States. Would Like to see more Amanda. ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
You two are perfect together! Love these videos.
Tell Brent that the battle scar on his camera will give it panache, like a dueling scar. :)) You guys are crazy. 🤪🤪🤪
This is comedy gold, Brent "I think I heard a bear" Brilliant.
Yours are one of the few that I always watch end to end. Another fabulous episode, but do I detect a hint of a more mellow Gavin creeping into frame now? It suits you well, but don't ever lose the irreverent Gavin either. Sorry for Brent's troubles - hopefully your nearly 100K subscribers will make it possible for him to get a little love from Fuji or even Hasselblad. Also hope you hit that 100K soon. You deserve it for sure!
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully, Brent's camera can be revived, but I'll have to get back to you on that Hasselblad.
Guy from Yorkshire called Valentine 😮 must be slowly diversifying in those parts 😊
My homeowners insurance replaced a D4 one time because my tripod fell over. A friend of mine who’s an agent suggested the claim, I never would have guessed they would have paid it ($6200)
How much did your insurance increase after that? I did the same once and they increased it to $5k a year. Disgraceful.
@ I had a second claim that year then they cancelled at end of term. 2 weeks before end they spent $18,000 replacing the roof tiles 😂😂
@@KenToneyyou're the very few instances were the customer wins over the insurance company.
As you don't bother with insurance anymore , used to pay it every year never claimed and then when I tried , excess low valuation mountains of paper work, evidence , receipts etc requirements, gave up and cancelled the policy. @@fototripper
If you have USAA they have camera equipment insurance. It is its own policy.
So your next GFX vs Hasselblad is going to involve a throw off a cliff since the GFX made it, right?
Merry Christmas from New Brunswick
The Camera Store in Calgary has a brand new GFX 100s for only $4,799 CAD at the moment!!! Heck of a deal if you ask me!!! Assuming you don’t need the “faster” AF on the 100s II. 😂 Brent might have an early Christmas present to pick up.
I feel your pain with that hood. I HATE, HATE, HATE, that POS hood for my Canon 24-70 2.8. It feels like I’m cross threading it every time I put it on. If I can catch it just right and no one is watching, I’m going to throw into an oil well bore and let the crew trip drill pipe in on top of it. (Probably would be a lot easier to just take it off and throw it away, but I need some sort of satisfaction.)
Good video. I THINK u can eat juniper berries. I use dried ones in several German dishes I make like sauerbraten for instance
Don't worry about the gouge! There are plenty of people out there who are quite happy to buy scruffy gear (for a slightly lower price of course), it takes away the stress of having to keep it pristine!
My first trip to Canada next June. Road trip from Calgar to Vancouver plus Alaska Cruise. I am sure there will be some good images...but if I win the Premium Bonds in the UK I will deffo come back in the fall for your workshop. If i win a million I will ask for a 1-1 workshop. Does Brent do 1-1's. 😜
Brent really showing his true self this episode😭
I'm one of those people who get actual sympathy pains. The headlines on this video and on your automated email were quite painful, LOL! Glad Brent's camera still works!
Brilliant! 😃🙌🏻 Does Brent have a public social media too?
No. He has a life ;)
@@fototripperbeing a newly married man and all.
You can safly eat the berries, we use them in Norway as a spice all the time. Usually with deer, moose or lamb stew or in sauces for any game.
This one gave me a smile tonight, thanks
Very amusing as usual. Great stuff.
hehehe, i once watched my drone bag, two drones with gopros on the outside of my bag, roll down a rock and scree face, third bump sent it airborne, it landed with a solid whump! as the sheer weight burst the sides, i just whimpered.
Banff is such an epic area. Must go back there again, but not in winter next time. Too cold by far.
not a lot about photography, but it is very fun to watch! 😂😂😂
The way Brent was holding that bear I was sure it was called 'pisstake'!
Lovely as always
I lost a lens at Arches last year. I was setting up my camera for a late fall Milky Way shot at Balanced Rock, I thought the camera was mounted tight into the tripod - it wasn’t. My 24-70 face planted into the sand and it’s now a 35-50. I feel Brent’s pain.
Ouch!
A few years back I had an Arriflex 16BL fall off a tripod onto a rail way track. They had to rebuild the rail road.
Loved it. Is the workshop in the Rockies open to someone that has a bad leg? Are the locations relatively easy to get to? I'd love to get to one of them.
There no big hikes but it depends on your definition of 'bad leg'.
@ I can hike but climbing or super long hikes would be an issue
Thank goodness there were no spilled noodles involved this time, you only took sandwiches, otherwise you'd have had me rolling around the floor laughing my head off...again!
Why do people drop cameras around you!? 😂😂
Great photos bud! 📸😎
Hahahaha, good to see you back on home turf. Guess you can say the Fuji passed the bounce test so that is one less test to try. Also noticed your close to the magical 100k subs, will share the sh*t out of it and hope it helps a little, wouldn't that TH-cam thingy look great for Christmas or New Year?
Thanks Rick.
@@fototripper Cheers Gavin and also wishing you, Amanda, and all a very Merry Christmas. 🙂
Did you bring any hand sanitiser... 🤣 Camera bouncing down the hill, ouch. Don't blame Brent for looking so down, impressive to continue with the rest of the shoot though.
"No licking me L-bracket!" was not a sentence I ever expected to hear, not even from you Gavin.
Nice hike
A hike requires time. time to sit down, relax, reload, and after the energy has been topped up, and the scenery has been taken fully in, then you can think photography. makes no sense half-assing it. :)
After seeing the aftermath, might look into Fuji cameras, sound like they are built like a tank.
Miss this type of video, location and silliness.
I see the Bear Spray at the ready... I wondered about that... being in the wilderness often... Have you ever had any close encounters or moments you're glad you had it? (Or WISH you HAD brought it!?)
I've had many encounters, one that was too close.
there,s no way I would pay around $200 for two hiking poles give me a brush stale or a broken branch any day. enjoyed the video.
Sorry to hear about your camera mishap Brent.
those lens hoods are another reason to go back to the GFX. one may have money, but money cant buy the patience required to install the hasselblad lens hood
most juniper berries, when in season/ripe are edible..but super bitter and usually causes upset stomach and bad bouts of..emm...leaky poops lol
leaky poops ... 😂🤣
Due to 18:18 ...... ANY pants company, GET IN TOUCH! 😂
Great video as always. 200 subs until 100.000! Maybe this week. 😀👍🏻
Every time we have a full moon here in Devon it's nearly always cloudy 😔
Creaming my knickers at about 18:00, a LOL moment!
If you want clouds on a full moon, (or whenever the Northern lights threaten,) you should visit Armstrong B.C.. As a bonus we've got enough fog to make an Englishman homesick.
I know that feeling as I lost 2 Canon EOS 1D MkIIs, Sigma 14, Sigma 120-300 f2.8 and a couple other items falling down a mountain into a river.😢
That's got to have knackered the weather sealing.
