  • My 2023 Workshop: www.fototripper.com/store/nov...
    My Ebook On Sale: www.fototripper.com/chasing-a...
    Things go from bad to worse on my second day with Chris. Landscape photography workshops should be fun but he's too busy obsessing over Mark Denney and Adam Gibbs.
    In spite of his rudeness, I still manage to teach him some fun tricks for long exposures where he finally makes himself useful as a leaf chucker.
    After some tense moments over a biryani and some garlic naans we almost come to blows but things improve greatly the following morning during a spectacular sunrise shoot.
    A beaver has created a magical looking scene and I'm lucky enough to capture a portfolio-worthy image, some might say 'book-worthy'.
    Just when my mood is on a high and I begin to warm to Chris he manages to insult me again with one final barb.
    Will we ever work together again and does Amanda realize I'm filming her stealing my prized Twirl? What vile deeds were committed in Chris's sleeping bag last night and could you eat a dry naan?
    There's really only one way to find out.
    Thanks for watching

    I was about to book you for a workshop but suddenly Mark Denney had a slot open up so I jumped on it instead. I mean, you're good but I couldn't pass up a real pro like Mark. Figured I might book you later in the year but then the 2018 landscape photographer of the year, Adam Gibbs, has some workshops coming up and I HAD to book one of those. Not sure there's anything you could show me after all that. Just kidding of course. If I had the cash I'd be all over one of yours. Of all the photographers I watch I really think you consistently outshine the others. Love your photography. The image of the reflection in the water is outstanding. Thanks for another informative and hilarious video.

    Gavin, those last images of the dead/living trees were absolutely stunning. They may be my all-time favorites of yours, including the ones you did a few videos back that featured dead trees coming up out of water. The reflections and the turned-around nature of the photos like these gives the mind a lot to consider. Beautiful!

    Hey guys. Hands down, Chris has the best poker face I have ever seen. Nice to know that he lives there as well. I am sure you will hook up again some time in another video. The Mark Denney comment was spectacular. Some really wonderful images taken. You nailed it with the comment about wondering what you are looking at. The dead trees and colour glow from the upper vegetation was just brilliant. The last shot has to go in your next book. Nice sneaky pinch with the Twirl, Amanda. Have a good week all. We are going through a very cold snap here in the UK at the moment.

    The beaver pond image feels like you caught two seasons. The current winter on top and the echo of fall that recently was on the bottom. Makes for nice color bands across the image as well.

And,... he even provides snacks. Yep, you are one of a kind, Gavin!
