Would you go into the woods tonight? How about in foggy bear country with scary-looking trees and even scarier abandoned vehicles on the quiet backroads of Vancouver Island?
The last thing you'd want to do is take a wrong turn...
This ridiculous landscape photography adventure features two foggy sunrises and one lovely sunset with some utterly stunning telephoto views that will blow your mind.
Not only do I spoil you with lots of free landscape photography tutorials, but you also get a double dose of ''a face like a...'' which, if we're honest, is the only reason you bother watching!
Does Uncle Grumpy really need to check himself and will he ever do that reading of 'Chasing Awe With Gavin Hardcastle'? Why is his bum wet and will we make it back before the tide cuts us off?
Thanks for watching

Those back lit forest photos around the 8 minute mark in the video have to be some of your most beautiful. Heaven on earth.
When Gavin, Adam, Thomas or Nick are posting anything, I ''Like'' it first and then I watch. You guys ROCK!
Awesome brother . Also you're safe in the woods with Adam. Since he looks like someone in lord of the rings these days. 🤣🤣
I am not sure, have you ever seen how the guys hair looks like in the Shining.
Lord of the Rings!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Grumpdalf…😂
That first photo of the mountains and small islands is my favorite. Amazing!
Just realised watched y’a. Now for 2 1/2 years , wow what a legend you really are thanks for the last couple of years of lighter side of life educational and extremely funny times,, I don’t think people really realise just how much you come into people homes and life’s just through TH-cam, if you ever feeling a bit down or just fancy a quick pick me up go back and watch some of the older ones, , a big thankyou for every moment you’ve shared along the adventures of fototripper. You really are a good person .
I'm actually terrible but thanks for the kind words Neil.
"It is absolutely magical, look at this" - *shows Amanda* --> Awwww! 🙂
;)
Those backlit fog photos, even better than the pano... Geez, i bet you guys were excited, catching those circumstances. Magical
Sky replacement software is brilliant for Real Estate photography, but not something I’m personally keen on for landscape pics. I’m not sure the next Chasing Awe by Gavin Hardcastle will have as much awe if there were pics included with that method.
bums a bit soggy...... we are in for another great vid 😁
So sweet, also with the snowy mountainpeaks in the back.
I truly love it when you guys do a video together. The banter back and forth between you two is awesome... it makes me laugh!!by the way my copy of the book arrived last week...the book is great..thanks so much for making and sharing this video...
Excellent.
That beach to snow capped mountains is stunning
No lie, my fiancée (a photographer as well) and I LOVE watching ur videos together! Thanks for all ur hard work brother! Top work
I really enjoy your lighthearted attitude.
Absolutely stunning. Those backlit mist images are what dreams are made of. 👌🏼
Hi Gavin, thanks for the book. Awesome work. Another great video. Great to see you with Adam again.
Love these longer episodes, well done
I've been watching your channel now for a few years and I have always really enjoyed the episodes. The photography has been very informative and inspiring, to say the least. But I had to pause the video at 8:32, by far one of the best shots I've seen. I can't believe that was taken from Vancouver Island. I live right next to you near anacortes, state side and that shot looks like something from the Amazon Jungle. Soo cool!
Its always a pleasure waking up to Gavin hanging out with Sir Grump Alot! My day will be a good one 👍
Uncle Grumpy's back! The Odd Couple are back together. Rejoice!
Another epical adventure with the three musketeers !!! That fog was awesome !! Well done my friend !!
Love the way you revisit places in case the light may somehow become more friendlike. And I am glad you take Adam with. Because everyone needs a friend, no matter how grumpacious
the shot at 8:50 is so gorgeous, one of my favorites from you!
Absolutely amazing images, and a great video. You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world
Those two layered tree shots at around 8:18 are just gorgeous 🙂
Face like an undercooked Fray Bentos Pie lol. My mum used to buy those tinned pies when we were kids. Ha ha. How many of these 'face like a....,' can you think of lol? Love it 👍👍👍😂
I love watching your stuff Adam! I have watched them all + bought the book and all bring inspiration with a light humour that i love. Thanks for filming your experiences!
Sky replacement is a no from me, part of the journey is being there for the right conditions... No light, no clouds, go back and get the shot another time. 🙂
I have to say I quite enjoy these longer videos of yours. I pass my time with something that I like since I don't really watch tv and it is a subject that literally is my favorite.
Gavin, your videos are so fun and turns a crap day into a laugh....and your point of view as it come to finding great composition is always worth the watch.... Keep it rolling....
Great video and awesome to see Adam back. Can we have a video and Amanda outtakes soon though, that Ostrich impression was spot on 😂😂
Fantastic vlog, as usual. All three of you guys always seem to have so much fun together. The silliness is a given, the beautiful images are expected. However, I wasn't expecting the uncanny Ostrich impression: Amanda and Adam are truly gifted.
they are...special
That pano, magnificent. Beautiful...
40 mins of mirth, farts and a bit of photography, there's no beating that. Gav at his best.
Greetings from Oakland,CA. I’m really enjoying your recent vlogs without the comedy bits. Your natural humor and good nature with Amanda, (and Uncle Grumpy,) and your wonderfully clear explanations of your photographic thinking and process, is terrific. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into these TH-cam videos.
I really like your knarly trees in the fog at the end. Very dramatic. Beautiful layers in all your photos and the waves washing over the rocks fantastic. The humour as always fun! Loved it!
Another fantastic video! Since we're locked down again here in MB, getting out with you lads is one of the few joys in life! Thank you for all you do and taking us with you on your adventures.
Dude, I didn't even notice the length of the video until someone mention it.
I was waiting for this 2nd part of the rendez vous of lord Hardcastle and Grampton the first. It didn't disappointed the high expectations. Really entertaining, funny and informative as always. Thanks for these videos Gavin!
I think this is one of my favorite videos that you have done but it really made me miss the island! Thanks for the laughs and the hit of inspiration Gavin!
Personally to me your best photography and one of your best videos you’ve made. If I ever make to VC Island, these locations are top on the list! Wonderful Gavin!
Awesome video. But they're all awesome videos! Amanda is hilarious 🤣 that ostrich impression was spot on 🤪 as as far as you photoshoping in the clouds, nah I don't consider that cheating, its your art, do as you will is what I say, I have done that myself plenty of times when there's been a boring sky. I actually take pictures of pretty skies and clouds that I could possibly use if I had to, so technically even if I have to photoshop the sky its still 100% my picture 😁
Those misty forest images was just amazing! Well done :)
Eagles have been known to carry off sheep and shortarses. Be careful. Great photography. Great entertainment.
Thank you Gavin 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Gnarly foggy trees, did someone say GNARLY FOGGY TREES! Nice work man, wish I was up there exploring with yall!
Makes two of us mate.
Your ability to tell the difference between ocean and lakes..... awesome 🤩😉☺️😂😂😂
It's a skill.
I really needed to do a chore before dinner ... but to hell with the chore. There is a new Fototripper video to watch! Woohoo!
Can't believe you hiked up that hill with your book in the bag for a quick plug, that's dedication.
Well...I thought I could get Grumpacious to carry it down...
Great Gavin, the mountains in the distance still snowy are really terrifique! You caught seasonal layers as well: winter into spring!
see you, ciao!
That place is gorgeous, killer shots
That was a kidnap /murder van that now has uncle gramps fingerprints all over it 🤣
LOL
Best images for a while Gavin, fantastic light and location. Cracking video as well ..... 🙂
Spectacular views, pictures, and videos, awesome work guys, big fan here.
YESSSSSS. Been waiting for a video since the last one 😁
wow, love the picture with your new 100-400 lens. Thank you!
Can t wait for the next video clip!
Take care!
Those "Jusassic Park" photos of the forrest are absolute stunners. Boo to those anti camper ticket giver outers. You wouldn't have been ticketed if you'd been driving Heaton's van. Thanks again.
Gavin, wow, 6:05 did it for me. I’ve been looking for a shot like that for myself. A very inspirational shot for me.... I got this nice warm feeling watching it. Thank you for doing what you do. Oh man, I really enjoyed every single photo with a slap of good humor. I think I love you man! Lol
Nice to see the lucky three 😍
Well worth a 3 time climb! Throughly enjoyed that mate! Great video! Hope you are all well!
At 8:43, you can’t get better than that! Gorgeous.👍
I am a little behind on recent videos, but thought I'd play this one before going out for sunset. You know, for inspiration.
Casual Eagle name drop, all i managed this week was a blurry image of two house martins doing the do, That first shot was super nice, You def have your full mojo back,, another great video
I want to see Amanda's vlog of you doing your vlogging and hear her take on it all, now THAT would be a good one!
I second this!
That was a Killa Rippa Adam 😂😂
entertaining, enlightening & awesome images. Great work Gav !
Watching you two in the woods is almost like watching Gandalf and Frodo wandering through Middle Earth lol. Another fantastic video and gutted you had a bit too much fog and that ticket on your last day.
Why not get Uncle Grump to photograph your wedding for your next project?🙂 Greg could do the video, Shainblum and Nick could be Page boys and Tom could be chief bridesmaid........should be hilarious....🤭🤣
Great vlog buddy, shame about the fog in the end but, least you got something for your efforts! Them first shots were amazing
This is a good time to comment with thanks for your own wonderful music that you include with your videos. Case in point, the lovely melody at the 8:50 mark, as you show us the trees-in-fog photograph.
Thanks for all of your skills.
Just finished watching your video. I recently starting watching a few other too. You and Adam make a great team..Thank you for sharing your technique. Take care. Steve.
Since you asked: I still can't bring myself to replace skies. I think it reinforces the idea that "this is what a good photo should look like" and that's what's rubbing me the wrong way.
I'm not claiming that my line of reasoning makes perfect sense, just to be clear.
Good video as usual
I dont mind replacing a sky IF it makes the shot better and it's a sky that I took
I wouldn't mind replacing the sky as long as the new sky was a shot I took. Ideally at the same location with better conditions.
"Face like a perplexed ostrich" made me laugh way too much.
Another epic mission foiled by the weather. On a positive note, I've just purchased a steak and kidney Fray Bentos....boom!
Take it easy guys😉
ugh... kidney
Thanks Guys. Such a cool video. It's nice to also have a laugh just before bedtime. Hope my Fog shooting works out!
That foggy overlook near the end looks a lot like our visit to Banff and Glacier National Park.
Dear 'Mec' you are top well done and the humour is good too !
Some fabtabulistic images captured there.
oof that ticket! But that first shot was just amazing!
The ticket after the fogged out view,.. most un fan tass teekwa. Adam not getting a ticket did give me a chuckle.
You guys are wonderful photographers and teachers - Magical - Thanks.
Time to go to Tofino again.
The fog image at 8:50 was spectacular..I would be willing to preorder your next book if you said that image would be in the book!!!
It will be in the book. Keep your eyes peeled for a mega print sale next month, maybe I'll add that one to the gallery ;)
Couldn't help notice that you were shooting into the sun without the hood, but when you were shooting the fog you had the hood on :D
As is correct.
One of your best I think , really enjoyed seeing you back with Uncle Grumpy , absolute classic when you asked which bit of your book he liked the most . Oh and yes using Photoshop to replace a sky is cheating , it’s just not cricket you know
Is “perplexed ostrich” the best one yet?!? 😂 would love to see a cut of all Gavin’s faces
Love these videos
31:14 - a masterclass in videography, pretty much an Oscar in the bag to the production team.
My audience deserves nothing less...
Fun! I love the long format videos. It's funny, while watching last week's video I was cropping off a shot with my fingers I didn't see you try. On this video, you took the composition of the islands which was so close to my finger crop I had to smile. I love your shot of the multi-layers, outstanding. I have an 800mm equiv. I would have loved to point in that direction with that light. As for the sky replacement, I think it works and isn't cheating any more than dodging and burning the subdued way you did it. A bright blue sky without clouds is distracting, so dropping in a few clouds to make the viewer focus on the composition seems fair. Oh, yeah, maybe I've seen one too many "Top Gear" episodes, but any time you need $1K to blow up a caravan, let me know. Good content, thanks!
$1k well spent. Plus $2k shipping.
"(The bears) love the taste of Uncle Grumpy."
He's curry-flavored!
LOL
I don’t know how you guys manage to get up so early 7:00am is middle of the night for me. Though I managed to get out in the bluebells last week at 5:30am. A major accomplishment for me. Any way another entertaining video
My offer still stands Gavin. I will pay for your parking ticket for one signed copy of "chasing awe" . You're channel is my favorite for photography. Always enjoyable as always.
Too bad for you for the ticket, Gavin. Great location for photographing. 👌👌
Always Love your Photography.❤️😊
what a stunning viewpoint
"Face like an undercooked FrayBentos Pie" ....I'm dying here.......I do love your video's learned a few things too, can't wait for me book to arrive.
Steak and Ale too.
@@fototripper Has to be Steak & Ale!
Love your videos and pictures great work
I love your videos ... Always making me laugh. I wish I had someone to go out and shoot with .. Sometimes my wife goes with me but she's always rushing me and I end up taking a crappy photo lol
I have fallen prey to that peer pressure too, even when only imagined.
fantastic shots mate!
That image at 8:41 is amazing. I will now have to go out and buy a 100-400 to try to get some nice landscapes with a zoom lens! Great opportunity to buy something for my new X-T4! Thanks for sharing.
Definitely some beautiful scenery! You have a great sense of humor, (stupid o'clock 😂) Thanks for sharing... Cheers
Gavin, thanks for another great video. I love how you show the good with the bad when it comes to landscape photography. That's the reality of it (and I thought it was only me these things happen to!) This weekend I got a $71 ticket because my park's little parking lot wasn't open yet and I parked along the street outside with a few other cars. Were my photos worth $71? Nope! But I had fun nonetheless.
Ugh! Soooo many rules!
You did get some beautiful shots. I always look forward to your videos. They bring a smile to my face. I was thinking if you caught up to the park ranger who gave you a ticket that maybe you could sell him your book for the price of the ticket? Just a thought, lol. Some of our national parks have open and close times. I remember one night I didn't quite make it to the parking lot in time and saw the gate was closed. Fortunately the park ranger left it unlocked. Now I'm a bit more careful. I love that you and Amanda were able to get together with Uncle Grumpy. Thanks for sharing!!!
Weird thing is, the park is open 24/7...
@@fototripper Wow! I would fight that in court. That seems odd to have the park open 24/7 but then ticket vehicles. Not sure I understand that.
Are you trying to copy the Grand Old Duke of York? Those Canadian parking attendants must have been trained in London!! Loved those early shots of the bay...epic.
