    While focus stacking a beautiful cave image in the Valley Of Fire, I have trouble with my cameraman Greg Snell. Not only does he refuse to film my b-roll but he accuses me of being demanding - ME? The nerve!
    Things go from bad to worse when his hero 'Uncle Grumpy' shows up to once again steal my comp. In spite of their treachery, I still manage to bag two gorgeous shots while talking you through my process of focus stacking.
    Like a true professional, I even manage to scope out tomorrows sunrise shot while partially asphyxiated by the football and chips I ate for lunch.
    I challenge any professional landscape photographer with a belly as large as mine to perform better in such cramped conditions or dash around like a 'pudgy mountain goat' with as much vigour.

    This is my first comment after watching multiple vlogs or yours... this video was absolutely hilarious and informative too. But, the best part, is to see another fat man that can hike up those hills like what was it Greg said "A Pudgy Mountain Goat"?! I'm a little older even than you and fatter so I was impressed. I did have to stop this video half way through though, I got a notification that a new vlog from Adam Gibbs and watched that first, but I did come right back to finish this one... well, I had lunch first but... keep up the good work.

    Another great video Gavin, as a fellow Yorkshireman I love your humour and it helps your videos be even more entertaining than with just the photography alone. Your photos though never suffer from your antics, they are always excellent and you go to great lengths to explain what your trying to capture, I for one appreciate that.
    What I want to know is when are you going to appear on Amazon prime video? A strange question you may think, but no not really, I watch another you tuber, completely unrelated to photography, Cruising the cut he’s called and he does Narrowboat videos from the uk, he does the filming himself like you mostly do, but he now as a series on Amazon, basically they’ve just taken is early you tube videos and put em on the streaming service. You’d be ideal, humour, great scenic locations and expert tuition with great photos to finish with, a marriage made in heaven 😁😁
