100-400mm WINTER landscape photography | Yosemite National Park

[@Arthalot]

Came for the 100-400 discussion. Left crying from those photos.

[@kkchristy]

So it’s not just me… aching beauty.

[@yonishperling1531]

same for me! My wife and I watched this and blowed away.

[@GEORGEEEJ]

Yosemite is a magical place. It’s never the same and always inspiring. I see why the Miwok considered Yosemite spiritual location.

[@Its_bane]

Dude those photos... F***ing wow 😦

[@abdulazim7142]

Here for my therapy session. Your videos are so calming and therapeutic

[@yiyang4445]

The rainbow waterfall shot is soooo beautiful omg

[@MichaelShainblum]

Let me know which image from the video you enjoyed the most :)

[@pattymattes7124]

They are all beautiful. I think the one that sticks out for me and I'm not totally sure why is the vertical image with the reddish rock face on the left with the shadow of the mountain on the right with the tree. For some reason that tree grabbed my attention.

[@thirdmort]

All of the above ;)

[@kyleklip101]

Of all photographers I follow , you are the master of finding compositions, you see things other don’t.

[@rajasekharreddy7069]

Tree image is awesome.

[@RajaRamakrishnan]

Image on 8:10 mark. Just Brilliant 😍

[@kkchristy]

Thanks for the inspiration. Just achingly stunning…

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you so much for the donation Kevin, I really appreciate the support!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Nice - Lookin forward to this man!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Mark, hope you enjoy the images :)

[@jorgeyluz]

Yeap:)

[@JackLodge]

Words can’t describe how incredible this video is, Michael! Images are truly breathtaking and the story telling makes them even better. Next year I am 1000% going to Yosemite to explore 😍 thanks for the inspiration.

[@bobprentiss8215]

What I love about your work is it's beautiful, but looks real. There's no heavy handed editing.

[@ronnyheinemann1283]

Your blogs getting better and better 👌👌

[@holgerkroger889]

These superb teleshots are the reason why i carrying my 100-400 all the time with me. Many greetings from germany.

[@akashdeeppuri4344]

Fantastic video and images brother. Looking forward for more awesome videos like this

[@tonyhales-BigT]

I truly do look forward to your videos. Probably doesn't mean much coming from an amateur English photographer, but I do believe you have the best photography chanel on YT. Thank you so much for the work you share.

[@giannismpoult4982]

Well done my friend well done... 👏 👏 👏

[@marximus4]

Literally jaw dropping. The bookends to this video were fantastic.

[@p8ryot]

It's so breathtaking I am without words. I'll be there May 11th. After seeing your beautiful winter images I wish I could be there now, it's February.

[@eefvelthorst4127]

Dear Michael, Great vlog again. Please go on this way.

[@ianhamer4294]

4;43 luv these types of shots. 7: 53 great colours. Interesting and enjoyable video Michael.

[@cookfred281051]

Loved the one with the three ridges in the snow, truly beautiful.

[@allenpoulson6203]

Love the close-ups Michael👍

[@steveballard8342]

We are heading to Yosemite in September '24 and can't wait. Thank you for the beautiful pictures and for thinking outside the box!

[@christphertimo]

One of my favorite videos now

[@KellyPettit]

Really like the way you teach us that the famous shot we see all the time might not be the ultimate shot. Get out there and find your version. I have been into that concept for a while now. Great vlog. Cheers, Michael.

[@reiddickson]

The photo at 7:40 is just incredible. It seems so rare to find interesting subjects that can be lit with such deep contrast like that.

[@photosbyjosef]

Spectacular work amazing photos so inspiring thank you thank you thank you

[@TheFlowMind]

Thank you so much for this videos. It’s pure awe inspiring and I’m crying watching these sceneries and images. We in Italy lost the winter and we’ll also lose the spring due to the country being in the third lockdown. I had many plans to live the outdoor and do landscape photography from October onward with travel plans to the Dolomites, Scotland, Switzerland and other location in Italy. I know there are more important things right now but being constrained to a room and chair since November is starting to fell like my life is being sucked away. I wake up, sit in from if the Pc, eat, sleep and start again with a new anxious day. Thank you for this breathtaking digital travel.

[@jeffhuntley9284]

Dude these shots are incredible. Looks like a fairlytale!

[@luckyda1973]

Never seen a photography video packed with this many top tier shots, it's literally unbelievable

[@JoseSLobo]

I usually don't post public coments on the internet but I had to say something. The photos are amazing. The hole video looks fantastic. Had to see it 3 times. Congratulations to you and Joe Pierce. Can't wait for what's to come

[@chrismeakin7830]

Just when you think you've seen it all. You come across these mind blowing images, that really captivate you. Amazing work Michael. You've just convinced me that i really need to see landscape shots in a different and more varied way, capturing tighter scenes that can be so much more dramatic, when approaced with a bigger Zoom.

[@antoniom.p1902]

Just beautiful!!! Michael I love your point of view!!

[@brianmckeever5280]

Spectacular! The lone tree with they key light makes me go, wow! Nicely timed!

[@carol12645]

Wow super stunning pictures 😍

[@lookingthrough5428]

breathtaking, gorgeous, phenomenal - simply amazing!

[@rajasekharreddy7069]

@Michael as always you rocks 😍😍. Excellent explanation to unique portfolio.

[@PimKurczewski]

These are just so beautiful and stunning. Really evokes emotions

[@sigmaphoto]

Great work with our 100-400, Michael. Perfect example of how landscape shooters can find new, unique perspectives with a variety of longer focal lengths.

[@wimair_at]

Some of your best shots so far I think, stunning!

[@tylerlekki4948]

amazing video Michael! Love watching your vision!

[@chuckgmanleyphotos7197]

Good choice, unique images in heavily shot locations through a zoom. I liked your opening video with NO ONE at Tunnel View behind you! Large crowds of cameras are the norm since last March. I walked around yesterday with a 200-500 ahead of the evening Horsetail Falls/Firefall (my 100-400 is out for warranty work), unique perspectives. One thing I would say is that the volume of cameras is creating congestion with tempers flaring, more enjoying one’s surroundings as primary and photos secondary is needed.

[@markjandera2762]

Wow beautiful shots Michael

[@raylander6329]

Absolutely beautiful, and many thanks for the new ideas about approaching a new place. Can’t wait to go to Yosemite while I live 1 hour from the park entrance.

[@penorvoll]

Amazing pictures! :) You're a master!

[@filipcojocea5599]

You have inspired me. Keep up the excellent work, so that your work can inspire.

[@milapi2001]

You inspire me so much Micheal.... you have no idea how much you and your creativity heal my heart♥️

[@carlpalmer6095]

A stunning selection of photographs and an informative video.

[@pvpphotography]

It is such a beautiful place. Some of the best landscape photographs I have seen till now.

[@petergreen6675]

Very well done and well said . totally awesome images . Kudos .

[@robertocastro4403]

[@samuelequaranta1108]

[@susannestockli]

[@edouardmatte]

[@akumezzy1092]

Dude you inspire me so much, great as always!

[@anewcleardawn]

Inspiring video - as always! Excellent work man 🙂

[@NandishA]

Every shot is awesome. This is inspiring piece of work. Looking forward for more videos like this.

[@chrisbullock5488]

Wow!! Incredible shots!👌🏾

[@michaelbottari6398]

The first image in your video is so incredible beautiful and unique of this place. You have the pleasure to be at the right time on the right place. I think personally you must convert this in black and white. I think it will be absolutely perfect. All the shapes and lights support this. Great iamges Michael... 🙏🙏🙏

[@ninacleven7889]

Stunning photos - all of them!

[@jeg569]

Stunning photography, I like the black surround, its like a 3D impression of actually looking through the lens.

[@AndreaLivieriPhoto]

Hey Michael, I really enjoyed this video. Absolutely stunning images, just WOW! :) Ciao

[@LarryManiccia]

Stunning stuff Michael. You definitely captured some unique perspectives using the 100 - 400 lens. Love Yosemite; such a diverse place to shoot.

[@JaenMunguia]

Absolutely captivating. Amazing work as always, Michael.

[@michealpociecha8351]

Loved them all. Excellent job. Gorgeous photos with great creativity on what to focus on. Thanks for sharing.

[@samuelfrench9665]

so magical it looks like a greens creen!

[@wendynewing8834]

What a stunningly beautiful set of unique images from Yosemite. This is one video I will be watching again and again. Thank you for sharing this magic.

[@stephentopiaphoto]

I bought that lens thanks to your videos and now I'm addicted to super telephoto shots. My wide lens is collecting dust.

[@gusatvoschiavon]

telephoto really give justice to the landscape and you can always compose more then one picture together if you need a wider frame but you still get the same compression

[@sanmaan13]

Amazing! Mesmerising shots Michael!

[@fingerstylefan]

Great video of some incredible shots. Nice to see different perspectives of such a beautiful place.

[@chrisroot7182]

Loved these images so much I had to watch twice!

[@alexsteinkamp22]

I just stumbled upon this video in my struggle to decide between 70-200 lens... and I have abandoned that now for this 100-400 since I have a 85mm 1.4. what amazing images!

[@jonesnax]

Bloody Hell, you are good. Thank you for sharing. You inspire us all😊

[@CelsoMollo]

Hey buddy, although the soft voice creeped me out a little, I stuck until the end and I was pleasantly surprised by your take on well photographed places and how to find your own unique images. Well done! 👍🏻

[@VicktorGalcar]

You have a very nice eye to compose, as well very good camera handle and nice editing! Great 👍

[@colinjudge1261]

I've been loving all of your videos, but I have to say that I swore out loud multiple times seeing your shots and your video clips here. Really arresting work mate, fabulous.

[@rnavarrete1956]

Greetings from across the bay. Man, I miss Yosemite! I used to take day trips there during winter or spring breaks. Thanks for bringing me along on your trip. I loved all your images. Very creative. I can’t wait to get back there.

[@markusbolliger1527]

Wonderful video with outstanding images, great work Michael, chapeau! It's all about light and composition! It motivates me to go hiking into our High Alps which offer similar motifs in stormy weather. Best regards from Switzerland.

[@koburn_]

Absolutely love this video! Very cool to hear someone talk in depth with one lens and show some real world hand on stuff!

[@AbelTravel]

Stunning!

[@hypnoraythompson5824]

some cracking shots there.

[@chri5m0rgan]

Great video, amazing photos.

[@bill3117]

I visited Yosemite in April of 2017. I was so enamored with the huge vistas, I missed the opportunity to close in on the beauty with telephoto lenses as you did. I'm kicking myself right now, and I hope I can visit again take your photographic wisdom with me! Thank you! Subscribed!!!

[@billbaker4970]

Beautiful shots Michael and a beautiful place. My one and only trip there was in the mid. 70s love to go back one day.

[@deenugent473]

Good tips at the end Michael!

[@11cruzado]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@roguesodyssey]

You're so talented! I live just outside Zion National Park and winter is definitely the time to visit!!!

[@hut8_newzealand361]

Loved your Milford Sound work.

[@RajaRamakrishnan]

Go to a place without any preconceived notion. Spot on Michael. Beautiful video. I felt like making a day trip while watching your video

[@stevofoo]

These are absolutely beautiful images!!!!

[@PrasadAbhang]

As usual fantastic work 👍🏻

[@rblast1]

Great vid. Loved the unique shots of Yosemite. The fog shots were incredible.

[@irishmantravelling7650]

Love the two tone water shot!

[@matthiasrichter-foto-7]

Very nice pictures, as always. And wonderful winter weather.

[@1young-geezer]

Gee, so many great photos, like always. But I was wowed by the falls, especially that one w/ the mist as prism, along w/ the others around that one. Did love the shot w/ the light hitting the tree you could see between those massive blue rocks in shadow. Also loved the last shots, 3 or 4. I just never come away from your shoots not liking at least 75%, or more! Also love the focus you've had lately w/ the 100-400, it's like a different trajectory and absolutely agree w/ you.

[@stefankuhn6887]

These photos are so beautiful - Yosemite and Milford Sound as well.

[@pattymattes7124]

Amazing images!!! Thank you for sharing. Yes, I enjoyed this very much. I'm so glad Gavin Hardcastle had you in his videos and recommended we follow you.

[@michaeltrue]

Gorgeous images, thanks for sharing Michael!

[@TheLisaanntorres]

My favorite image is the half dome. Just spectacular. I hope to go there someday.

[@Mondayfoto]

I love the idea you share about create our own shot. Thumbs up.
