Just ordered it and can't wait to explore and I know it's going to be as fascinating as the 3 sets of Composition Made Easy video sets I ordered and have just started watching, because they ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Love your mum and dad Gavin and all four of of you in a room are frigging priceless and how you all keep straight faces is beyond me, but as you often imply, keep photography fun 🤣
HI Gavin with my Sony A6000 apsc camera if I want a longer focal length I use a full frame lens and get 1.5x the focal length probably not available on a full frame camera 😁
I was a wee bit disappointed that we didn't get to see your Dad's cameras more and those slides. But I understand the embarrassment that could have occurred if your Dad's pics somewhat upstaged your own.
Lyme disease is around in the uk but if you use a apsc or micro four thirds camera they have a anti tick button that's not available on full frame cameras.
I don't watch TV, but I would consider paying my Licence again if you got your own show Gavin. You're the double of your Mam by the way! Show us Roy's Slides!
As someone that was born and raised in Pittsburgh it made me proud seeing that Heinz ketchup. I gotta be honest, i was intrigued with Roys cameras and thought it would be cool to see how good he was with those slides. And as i usually do each video in picking one i think i would like to have printed, i loved the first photo.
Now I understand why you are the way you are. Your parents are great and I agree your mom should have her own channel. I do hope you let your dad show his slides!
Great episode of Scotland's Funniest Home Videos. I look forward to Episode 2, where the four of you have a banquet of haggis, mash, and single malt. Cheers!
Great to see you two in 🏴and yes you can certainly get Lyme Disease from the ticks here - two friends have had it this year !!! Hope there are more Scottish Videos on the way.
Great video. Good to see you back here in Scotland. Be careful of the ticks though. They definitely can carry Lyme Disease. I'm lucky that I don't think I have ever been bitten by one. Plenty of midges but no ticks.
The crop feature is not exclusive to FF. My Olympus EM1 MK3 has a 2x Digital Teleconverter that can be assigned to a button. Thanks for the tip of using it to test what a different focal length looks like.
Really enjoyed this vid Gary now you are back in civilisation with some interesting places to photograph. The actors who played your mom and dad were superb, you did well to get such accomplished and polished actors at short notice. As always Amanda was fantastic, you are so lucky to have her.
Another excellent tip 👍. Your channel has everything Gavin. Humour, delightful background musical interludes and of course your brilliant instruction which always makes us look out for a killer composition even when at first glance we might miss it. Great stuff👍 That'll be twenty dollars please 😂👍
Hey... remember when we were at Shore Acres? I shot that ENTIRE series of images in crop sensor mode because I was showing someone how to use it in the workshop the night before 🤣 So... don't forget to change it after 🤣
Hey Gavin, As a photographer who has been sidelined for the past 4 ¼ years with Lyme disease, I can assure you that Lyme and other tick-borne infections most certainly do exist in the U.K. Virtually anywhere that birds exist, except Antarctica, you will find Lyme-carrying ticks. Take precautions, because I can assure you, you do not want Lyme (or any other tick-borne disease). Happy shooting!
What a brilliant video, your Mum and Dad did make me laugh Photos are brilliant as always. Hope you’re enjoying being back home….no place like home eh. Yes Lime disease is in the uk. Have a good time, being back.
Beech trees are amazing. And the castle ruins shot was pretty good too, even if not in the preferred conditions. I bet those fish and chips were cracking!😊
Lovely images into the video and a good laugh with the folks! A wonderful trick with the cropmode on the camera, I do the same thing myself. I have forgotten a couple of times that it was on 😂
😂😂😂more mum and dad please. Loved the camera stuff, and gorgeous photos too btw. Whats not to love about Bonnie Scotland especially the West coast, im biased as l live there......Alioban
Your dig at smaller sensor systems (perhaps tongue in cheek) doesn't quite add up. My Olympus (OM Systems) camera's don't have the focal length shift feature of your full frame camera. But to put some balance in the argument that you need full frame as a result, this feature is not needed if you are shooting Olympus. Somehow, Olympus seem to have solved the sensor dust issue - it never seems to be a problem. And yet I hear sensor dust is a constant problem with the Sony's and some other camera makes. Micro Four Thirds also has some great zooms such as the M.Zuiko 12-100mm (full frame equivalent of 24-200mm) which negate the need to be constantly changing lenses. Add to this the MFT lenses are generally much smaller and lighter than their full-frame equivalents and all the Olympus pro stuff at least is absolutely weather sealed means you don't hesitate to take them out and you have a significant advantage. As for needing a larger sensor camera for landscape photography, I would put this one to bed by pointing to the work of Len Metcalf, in my view one of the best landscape photographer's in the world right now. He almost exclusively uses MFT cameras.
I can feel your excitement of being back home, and how proud you are of Scotland. Those trees are indeed awesome. And I must say… what a blessing it is to have parents who play along with you in making a funny video. Not many people have this privilege. Really awesome.
It would be a great story if Dad's photos would turn up being better than Adam Gibbs' or if he would have a secret composition that Gavin would like to copy😂
Yeah man, Lyme disease is absolutely around in the UK, and there was a Foreign Tick around this year that did much much worse. But I've at least one friend who's been on and off of medication for lyme disease from a Tick in the UK. But just keep you're eyes on any bites for the tell tail red ring.
🤣Great line Amanda!! Beautiful country! I Enjoy seeing all the history across the pond, both natural and man made. I hope Roy exposes some film on one of your adventures. I'd wager he's got some good research material in those slides.
Canon crop factor is 1.6. They also have a shutter over the sensor when the camera is off i.e. when you’re changing lenses. Ticks do have Lyme disease in the UK, but they’re only really an issue when you’re on ground frequented by hoofstock.
Did a shoot near Killin in 2022, following day we removed 29 ticks. GP sent me to a friggin vet because they are the most experienced. My partner did it 😬😅
Good tip about the crop factor - never thought of that before. I guess doing a digital zoom-in would work but you would need to know what each press of the zoom button was equivalent to. I have a box of slides for you to see also, once you're done there🤣.
You are pure crazy! It is SUCH a delight watching anything you do because I love to laugh ( not laughing AT you, of course, but WITH YOU.) Your Dad is so sweet.
As much as I love going overseas, where you can always find beauty in the unfamiliar… there’s still a lot to love about this small group of islands and the wildly mercurial weather we regularly enjoy/endure.
Loved your photo of the castle by the sea and the foreground with green algae! Beautiful and stunning imagery there with all the ancient walls and ruins. I like your tree shots too and how you explained the difference in the 35 mm or the 55 mm lens. For a amateur photographer like me, made sense. But best of all. I laughed out loud when mum put the bib on ya and you ended up with mushy peas all over it! Hilarious! The fish and chips looked amazing btw, hope no Explosive 🎉 d.....a happened lol...! 😂❤
Always a joy to catch up with a new video and Ahhh, yer mum plates a fantastiqua looking fish & chips! It's worth mentioning again as I'm really enjoying the book, (insert shameless promo here: Chasing Awe by Gavin Hardcastle!) Amazingly it also fits perfectly in the laptop slip of my Think Tank/Mindshift so I'm never at a loss for poop coupons when I'm out and about and needing a "Plop" 🤣And, please thank the peerless Amanda for the little unicorn book mark!
Nice to see you again. How come your mams expressions are very similar to Amandas? You really need to make a couple of special episode going over your dads camera s and the slides that he's taken with them. I think they would make a fantastic mini series. 10 episodes - 1 hour each, just you , your dad and his slides. I always though that crop mode wasn't really useful as you could just crop the full frame photo for the same results - this is a great tip for using it. Yes, about 5% of ticks in the UK carry Lyme Disease (although for Scotland it can be as high as 10%)
Cropping in is very similar, but with one important difference that I think is worth mentioning. Just because you can crop into a photo to create a equivalent focal length doesn't mean it's the same. I suppose it it _technically_ is, but It's not an optical focal length. Its just cropping in. Depending on the photo, the optical distortion is going to look off if you get too crazy with the crop. This is most noticeable when you crop into a wide angle shot, so perhaps with a longer focal length this distortion wouldn't be as bad. In my opinion, it's best to achieve your desired focal length optically rather than during a post-processing crop. I'm guilty as charged because I crop alot for my bird photos, but landscapes I try not to crop in post since it's better to get the focal length right the first time. Oh, and great shots Gavin. You have no choice, your dad needs to share his slides now. Lol
@P.W.R. But crop mode works by cropping the sensor image, so how is that different to cropping the image in post? It isn't an optical focal length either but using a cut out of the wider image from the wider focal length on the camera. Getting a 50mm field of view fro. a 35mm lens is an image crop.
I can't believe, its four years since you did the last skit with your parents. The last time with Adam's trophy. Your mum was so funny...especially the outtakes.
Best book ever written? www.fototripper.com/chasing-awe-landscape-photography-book-gavin-hardcastle/
They should put one in the top drawer of every hotel room - next to the bible 👌
available from roy?

Your mum should have her own channel, a natural !
You mum and dad need their own RUclips channel, freaking hilarious. Your dad reminds me of my own 😂😅
I was a wee bit disappointed that we didn't get to see your Dad's cameras more and those slides. But I understand the embarrassment that could have occurred if your Dad's pics somewhat upstaged your own.
Oh bugger.. I wanted to see your Dad's slides. He looked sooo sad that no one wanted to see his stuff... .... 😃
Lyme disease is around in the uk but if you use a apsc or micro four thirds camera they have a anti tick button that's not available on full frame cameras.
great tip, it certainly ticked my box.
I hope we get a full presentation of Roy's Ireland slides in the next video..
I don't watch TV, but I would consider paying my Licence again if you got your own show Gavin. You're the double of your Mam by the way! Show us Roy's Slides!

Love this one! I dearly miss the UK. Especially Scotland. Also, the fact that this video had no bloopers was heartbreaking 😭
We need more of Roy on RUclips! I would love to see him out there with his cameras!! I think he'd be big competition!! 😀
loved it, mom and dad are great sports
Bloody brilliant! Never mind photography, new sit com with thi mam and dad.
If you just wore some shoes once in a while that poor jelly fish may have survived. You're welcome for the advise. That'll be twenty dollars please.
Thumbs up for all the Hardcastle family!!❤
Brilliant and so very funny, thank you all.
It's great that they go along with it all for you Gavin lol those are some mighty fine parents ya got there
Ahhh to think you hid that comedy gold Roy from me while over ? :-) I would have loved to see his camera collection 😎
Great episode of Scotland's Funniest Home Videos. I look forward to Episode 2, where the four of you have a banquet of haggis, mash, and single malt. Cheers!
Now I know where Gavin got his sense of humour. They’re the best!😂
Great to see you two in 🏴and yes you can certainly get Lyme Disease from the ticks here - two friends have had it this year !!! Hope there are more Scottish Videos on the way.
Love it your parents are the best ! Id say the were glad it was Amanda you brought this time and not Grumpatious !!
Another classic Fototripper video. Love your parents Gavin. I can see where you get your comedic nature from. Brilliant!
Your mom and dad are so awesome! I love your dad’s camera knowledge, very impressive!
Great video. Good to see you back here in Scotland. Be careful of the ticks though. They definitely can carry Lyme Disease. I'm lucky that I don't think I have ever been bitten by one. Plenty of midges but no ticks.
Really funny vlog and a good shot at the end. I can see a hilarious Northern sitcom, the Hardcastles coming from this
LMAO....the bib was perfect ending.
The crop feature is not exclusive to FF. My Olympus EM1 MK3 has a 2x Digital Teleconverter that can be assigned to a button. Thanks for the tip of using it to test what a different focal length looks like.
I would've liked to see more of the old cameras collection and the dark room though
I love your folks, especially your POPS.!
Another awesome video man, you make landscape photography so fun. Thanks for all you do!
Really enjoyed this vid Gary now you are back in civilisation with some interesting places to photograph.
The actors who played your mom and dad were superb, you did well to get such accomplished and polished actors at short notice.
As always Amanda was fantastic, you are so lucky to have her.
Thankyou for the compliment. He doesn’t pay much though.
aaaaaaaaaaaaw. what a lovely family he has. i love his parents.
Laughing out loud at Mum & Dad! Great video as always and Lyme disease is in the UK.
Well the fototripper apple hasn't fallen far from the tree!

Hey Gavin,

Take precautions, because I can assure you, you do not want Lyme (or any other tick-borne disease). Happy shooting!
Welcome back Gavin! Can't wait to see if you got a few more days vlogged!
What a brilliant video, your Mum and Dad did make me laugh
Photos are brilliant as always.
Hope you’re enjoying being back home….no place like home eh.
Yes Lime disease is in the uk.
Have a good time, being back.
Hey Amanda, you could make bibs for Gavin with his photos printed on them 😃👍
That’s my castle you’re photographing 😂 favorite spot and live just up the road a bit
Beech trees are amazing. And the castle ruins shot was pretty good too, even if not in the preferred conditions. I bet those fish and chips were cracking!😊
Lovely images into the video and a good laugh with the folks!
A wonderful trick with the cropmode on the camera, I do the same thing myself. I have forgotten a couple of times that it was on 😂
Your parents are awesome!!! Another great video. Thanks for the tips!!!
Long ways away from West Yorkshire. Scotland is perhaps the best place in the UK. Cheers Gavin for the quality content as always
That was awesome, you with the bib!! 😂😂
That should be your new profile picture! 😅
😂😂😂more mum and dad please. Loved the camera stuff, and gorgeous photos too btw. Whats not to love about Bonnie Scotland especially the West coast, im biased as l live there......Alioban
all the best from Scotland I LOVE YORKSHIRE!
Damn, love your dad. I would love to see a tour of the darkroom please. And those are awesome cameras he has 👍
The bib was the BEST!

Very amusing as usual Gavin. I can see where your humour comes from.
It's great that your parents are cool enough to get in on the fun.😅😅😅
I quite like using a black mist diffuser when shooting backlit woodland. it can bring a little bit of interest to those brighter areas.
Ha! I love it! Your Dad's cameras are awesome!
Love the shirt too 😁
I got a blue one too ;)
@@fototripper 😁 I'm wearing my fototripper in my next RUclips video next week 😉
Those old cameras are awesome! Imagine the history they have recorded.
It would be a great story if Dad's photos would turn up being better than Adam Gibbs' or if he would have a secret composition that Gavin would like to copy😂
Your mum is the best :) your dad is a analog geek and Amanda is having second thoughts. great episode ! ;)
Your parents are lovely, quite the joker’s. Mum reminds me of my own. ❤
honestly, I would watch hours of your dad talking about cameras and slides
I love to see those slides too!
Brilliant tips! And fantastic images, as always.

When's your dad starting his own channel? Maybe even a book on Ireland???
Me and the Mrs were howling at this. Bring on the next one with the old Coot.
As always..one of my favourite channels..not for just photography..but for all those humours that come along as a package...well done!
Ooh, I was born in Nova Scotia and adore it, but I've always wanted to see the country it was named after. Thanks for bringing us along for the trip.
Hi Gav. Good trick with focal length. For me 200mm and get that boat sunset. Great watch as always.
My daughter got Lyme Disease while in Bristol so yes, there’s Lyme in England and no doubt Scotland too. Be careful.
Those are pretty cool cameras your father has!
Canon crop factor is 1.6. They also have a shutter over the sensor when the camera is off i.e. when you’re changing lenses. Ticks do have Lyme disease in the UK, but they’re only really an issue when you’re on ground frequented by hoofstock.
You guys are always good for a laugh. Fun to see you. This one is especially good.
You should have 85 million subs.
hahaha, hope you all had a great time. and i hope scotland treated you well. i've been trying to get down to dunure castle for ages
Your parents are a hoot and now we know why you are what you are!
That's it, your folks need to be regulars on the channel. They're made for this!
You might be seeing a little bit more of them ;)
@@fototripper Good stuff!
Great fun and informative video thanks for sharing!

With a world that looks to be going into complete chaos, I appreciate your vids Gav. Your humor and great landscape photography. Great vid buddy . 🙌🏽
Funny video & parents good fun. Oh, shots nice too😊

I've had my mirror less full frame for a couple years and never knew I could but it in crop mode. Thanks, Gavin!!
Beautiful family. The bib portion was ROFL.
Great photos, landscape tips and touch of comedy...doesnt get any better.
Nice to see you again.
