    During a rare and spectacular fog event, some of the gnarliest trees I know get completely engulfed in a pea-souper.
    Thanks to a tip-off from Grumpton and Brian, I rush to capture the magic before the fog lifts, and boy, do I hit the motherload!
    Woodland photography is never easy, but using this one particular compositional technique, I manage to photograph a scene straight out of a fairy tale.
    Shallow depth of field is one of my most beloved tools when it comes to woodland photography and at f/1.8, it's almost too easy.
    Hiking up a steep hill with a gut full of chicken bhuna is never a good idea. What I need is a sponsorship deal from Gaviscon just to get me up the hill. Gerrin touch...
    How many times can I use the superlative ''ornate'' and what happens when Amanda jumps out of a tree? Brian might be kind enough to give me an Aero but will he ever get his 35mm lens back from me?
    This landscape photography vlog is one you do not want to miss.

      Do you know if the local council or forestry dept ever go into these forests and plant new trees to replace the dying ones? Thanks

    My daughter rolled her eyes, let out an “…ugh” when you said, “Lichen… subscribe.” The second time she busted out laughing. I think she is ashamed that she has the same sense of humor! 😜

  • @roscot40
    @roscot40 2 года назад +1

    I think I measured 7 repetitions of ornate... but my incredibly annoying neighbour fell off his roof extension and the laughter reverberating through every pore of me temporarily killed my attention. Please don't ask me whether he was ok... Someone screamed so I think it was all in hand.
    Amusement aside, GH has got to be one of the most natural RUclipsrs out there. Not only is the education aspect of his content generally superior to other photography channels (Fro, Northrops, Kai W, Manny Ortiz and numerous others)... his natural and engaging humour elevates the experience. So much more professional, even when he isn't trying.
    Grumpton is always a great addition as well... even if it's just a mention.

    @howadeeb 2 года назад +7

    I really like this image. For some reason the post process work seems a little different than the way you used to do your trees and forests in the fog in the past. I think it looks more real and there's no strong distinctions in the photos stacking or the blendings. Also I like that you left a little more shadows and strong distinct contrast lines in the foreground tree rather than raising the shadows too high. I think it's a mistake that a lot of people make they're afraid to leave shadows in the imagery. I think it looks more real and appearance intends to give it more of a moody look. Great job!

    I learn English watching your videos, Gavin. Thanks for the word 'ornate'. The number of times you mentioned it helped it sink deep into my memory. This word will live with me forever now along with ''magnefiqwah' and 'refleksion'. I hope this is the right spelling 😁

    I counted 8. But I was completely distracted by you wearing Amanda’s blue top. Whilst there is nothing wrong with your magnifique physique, I couldn’t quite focus on the shots, or even what you were talking about because your moobs were burning my retinas out. For that reason, I probably need to win one of your creations! I don’t mean partially digesting Indian either!

    Too many photography channels take themselves a little too seriously.
    There was only one use of one word.. "Buggerlugs".

    I bough 4 Easter eggs this week and hid them in the garage. Nice and cold in there and out of sight, or so I thought. I found a Twirl egg box and a large Galaxy egg box in the recycling. When confronting the wife little did I realise it was my fault for buying them in the first place so she told me. "If I know it's there I'll eat it", she said. Fair play, I thought. I never ever tell her when I'm buying camera gear. That is is an unwritten rule in photography circles. First rule of photography, What the wife doesn't know can't hurt you.
