No Photograph Is Worth This...

During a rare dump of snow, I get the bright idea to hike up Nile Creek in sub-zero temperatures. Dangleberry shrinkage ensues followed by an exquisite falsetto voice that would make the Beegees jealous.
Will I create a beautiful shot of the ice-rimmed river or will I succumb to the ravages of hypothermia? Yorkshire pudding blubber only provides so much protection from the elements, but I embrace the challenges of freezing cold winter photography like the legend that I am.
Will I sacrifice yet another DJI Osmo Pocket to the water gods? Will I survive impalement from rusty rebar spikes and will I reach hypothermia stage 5?
There's only one way to find out. Hit play and then hit like!

I once was photographing dippers in the River Derwent. The birds were that little bit too far away. It was early morning with no-one about so I thought I would strip off everything below my waist and wade to a better location. A couple of minutes in the water and I was in an ongoing two small frozen garden peas and a tiny chipolata situation. I got my pictures and retreated under the fortunately wrong impression that things would never get back to normal and the complete numbness would be permanent. I was getting dressed and saw a woman walking a dog in the distance and was afraid that if she had a magnifying glass she could have complained about indecent exposure. I dressed and quickly exited stage right. So when Gavin went in over his waist it brought the pain right back. I can honestly, genuinely say I felt his pain then.

I don’t know if we’re not doing a disservice to you by giving you positive feedback on this dangerous lunacy, but it was comedic genius!
@lucashertweck8731 3 жыл бұрын
Man, I really felt it when the shot in the end didn't turn out as expected. But I must say after going through THAT and having to hike two hours back with soaked clothes and completely shrunk testicles, I'd certainly give you the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2021 trophy for the effort alone (if I had a say in it)! Maybe it's still worth noting though that you were able to do this cause you know the area and and so on and that another (sane) person should never ever get into icy waters, especially when hiking alone! Stay safe Gavin! Amazing video and I really do appreciate all the work you put into this.

Please remember when you put your life in danger especially when you go by yourself. It’s volunteer rescue that put their life in danger to rescue idiots. Back here I the lake district a search and rescue fell and has broke his back. And lost the use of his legs. After a 40 year career in photography I can’t point a finger at you. Because I have done stupid things for (the shot). But to all your viewers. Send a bit of love to those people and dogs that keep us safe when we are in the wild. I’m only a old photographer who has no affiliation to these people, but have photographed different people and specialists dogs now and then and saw on the news about this accident and remember some of these heroes that keep us safe doing sometime dangerous things for our own fun. Please send some love to those that are there when we need them. Lake District search and rescue uk 🇬🇧 nice shots for a Yorkshire man.

The photo might not be one of the best technically, but this photo will always make you smile just for the story behind it. It's such memories that make photography so special. Unfortunately a plain picture rarely tells what someone had to do to get the shot. So I think it was worth the photo, even if it's just for memories.
