Loved this Michael. Such a special place for me. My wife and I spent many an evening up in the Cliff House watching the sun go down back when we were dating, back in the early 70's (before it was modernized). Fond memories and beautiful sunsets!

[@strikeking14]

Really liking the POV stuff, not that I dont love the rest of your videos. But getting a chance to see not only you describe what youre doing but literally see you adjusting exposures, and moving the tripod a foot to the left. Super awesome. And Photos side by side. A+ Sir.

[@Auhana50]

There were many compositions throughout your walk I was feeling overwhelmed watching your vlog despite the limited amount of light.

[@o.preuss_photography]

Loved your vlogging style in this week’s video so much! Very calm and relaxing. I would go completely crazy with this scenery and light, such a beautiful evening!

[@john3Lee]

Most decent tripod manufactures make an optional set of "snow shoes" which will help eliminate that sinking feeling !! Thanks, always good to see the coast.

This video is so relaxing.. Nice video and I am now saving up for the 16-35mm Sony Zeiss Lens ..

[@paulkay8986]

Great video Michael. You don't just take photos - you capture the very essence and the deep rooted soul of the scene - and that's what makes your images and your commentary so captivating. And it's why I, like so many, find photography so special...

[@carljarvinen1189]

Don’t know if I have one favorite, but really enjoyed your discussion as you walked through the surf explaining why and how you were taking these images…

[@DIGITALMIND63]

Another great vid! I love the Sutro Baths area. Be safe out there. I've been hearing of a lot of photographers being robbed in San Francisco.

Always climb on the rock, you never know! Gorgeous shots! 😎👍🏻

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much Jason, agreed!

[@lisasimpson9343]

Wow love the beach, all the images were great but I really liked the last one when the sun was gone, very atmospheric. Looked like a lot of fun.

Very much enjoyed! I forgot about that beach! Watching you take on and off your ND filter with such quick ease had me asking what is he using cause I need that in my life lol! Polar Pro filters? Thanks as always for these enlightening videos!

As I watch this, the ratio of thumbs up to thumbs down is 300 to 1. Obviously Michael, you're doing something right. I really like the POV used for this. It makes you feel as if you're there.

More POV videos to come! :)

[@EvilNeedle90]

These 13minutes where over in a heartbeat! Nice video! Question, why don't you use an L-bracket on the Sony? :-)

I've always wanted to live where the mountains meet the sea and there are sea stacks. Well I live near the mountains but I'm a long way from the coast. So, I love these images.

[@midnightj1994]

Love your videos! Can you do a video on how to clean your tripod after the sandy water shots? Last time I took my tripod to the beach it got completely ruined.

[@Wildwillow76]

Great seascape POV video Michael. Loved how you worked area. I especially liked the photo at 9.35. The texture in the foreground and the rocks balanced central in the frame. All the very best, Mark.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Mark!

[@paulscott9329]

Great work Michael and right up my street as I'm always trying this style of seascape photography, particularly around sunset. Experimenting with composition and shutter speeds can be really rewarding especially if you love the coast. Agree with the portrait format, Best wishes from the UK.

[@celeno31]

majestic!

[@michaelmckeag960]

I notice in a comment from 6 months ago someone else wondered why you don’t use an L bracket, but flop the ball head over to achieve portrait orientation. Considering how dynamic and potentially hazardous the situation, one advantage is you never have to disconnect the camera from the tripod when changing orientation, avoiding an opportunity for dropping the camera in the drink. But maybe I’m overthinking this. However, my habit is to (almost) always reconnect the neck strap to the camera before removing from the camera from the tripod. So, standing in the surf I might flop the ball head even with an L bracket on the camera.

[@bizeffex]

Michael - Great work once again - both informative and entertaining- You are so lucky to live in San Francisco area for the wide variety of beautiful secenery

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Michael!

What I discover use same technique for my cellphone Samsung S22.Thank you for all tips.

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much!

[@oliverwhone]

Hi Michael, love this video. Have actually watched it a few times - it's just a ton of fun! I have a question though: how do you manage to trigger the shutter without introducing any blur on those relative long exposures? I tend to have to use a 2-second self-timer, but that kind of sucks in terms of missing the right moment of water flow. Is it merely a matter of pressing that shutter ever so gently?? Not sure you'll see this comment on a year old video😅 Either way, absolutely love your work, mate!

[@tg1600]

This is crazy! Hope to see photos recap at the end of video would be better!

[@thehappyclam3942]

Low incoming tide is great for photography and fishing but great caution should be exercised. It takes longer to reach safety when a set of sneaky waves shows up, please stay aware and have your escape route planned.

[@foggylensphotography6309]

Fantastic video Michael !!! Do you mind if I ask why you prefer the F4 Zeiss over the 2.8 G Master lens? Asking for a friend 😖😖

[@eduardomenezes4924]

Michael, you’re in the beach. Don’t wear shoes, wear flip flops… 😂😂😂 cheers

[@stephenraskin9290]

Michael -always learn something -thanks. For us fellow SF bay area followers are you up for one on one teaching?

[@javilodez]

Loved this POV style Michael, I felt very identified with that rush feeling with the water and the light! I'd have loved to hear you let us know how u were focusing. Did u do manual focus all the time? Regards!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks, all manual.

[@chrisfox6065]

Great shots, is this somewhere south of Baker? Can’t quite figure it out. Down by Funston? Thanks for the vid! Ah never mind I see it now with the wider shot.

[@bojangrbikj2495]

Which beach is this photographed at in SF? Beautiful photos BTW!

[@rajeshs1978]

Awesome Michael as always. Sunstar from the lens is very unique. Is it the Zeiss 16-35 f/4?

[@MichaelShainblum]

Yup the Zeiss 16-35, thanks! :)

[@michelecalabro4344]

Seems a very nice lens!! I have recently purchased a Sony mirroless and I need a wide angle lens, I think I'll take a look at it :)

[@MichaelShainblum]

@@michelecalabro4344 I didnt need the 2.8 from the Gmaster, that lens is also really nice. I liked how much smaller this one was though :)

[@michelecalabro4344]

@@MichaelShainblum yes size is definitely an important factor! The only thing I prefer of the GM is the f/2.8 aperture that should be great for astrophotography, but luckily I have a star tracker and I can compensate the closer aperture with longer exposures...so f/4 is fine for me! Also is waaay cheaper XD

[@cathymildenberger4877]

One thing I noticed was just how quickly you could setup your camera and settings for your shots. I need to work on that 🤔

[@nancyturek1121]

Love all your videos and teaching style. I notice you don’t utilize a remote shutter release. Is this not as critical as I thought for obtaining the sharpest image?

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Nancy! Nah for this type of photography I need to hold on to the tripod anyways :)

[@gatsby498]

Great as always. Would love a tutorial on how you approach focusing

[@MichaelShainblum]

Hey James! Thanks for that! :) Although in these cases for shooting seascapes all I do is set my camera to manual mode and focus on infinity.

[@gatsby498]

@@MichaelShainblum thanks! I guess that explains how you were moving so quickly!

Indeed I am from Kase Filters, thanks!

[@astephena]

Ah my question answered! Thanks!

[@mattywhitton]

How come you don't use an L bracket? Lovely images!

[@garrigasebastien]

Love your vidéo as always !!😍 did you use any filter on this one ? Do you use sometimes a wider angle lens like the 12-24? Have a nice day Michael !

[@jackzlovesshooting4238]

Hello, Nice shots! May I know what beach this is?

[@gerryphilpott9766]

Michael, love your work and your very calm and thoughtful approach. I spent time in the bay area during college and yearn to get up there from LA more often, especially after your vlogs. Question. This is wide angle but I recall with your nikon and now sony that you use a 100-400mm quite frequently. I have the nikon z70-200 2.8 with 1.4x TC and am considering the z100-400 that allows TC as well. Would you consider that too much redundancy? (PS - Both are expensive, yes, but I'm about 2 years from retirement and worked hard these many years so I'm more concerned about weight, usefulness and portability.) That's with the lens, not me.....

[@kimkrikaujensen3084]

So you don´t use the timer to get steady shots? Don´t know why i haven´t experimented without it. 🙂

[@xilouwanping]

I have a question, when I don't use the shutter release for long exposure, there will be slight jitter. Why don't you use a shutter release，the picture won't shake?

[@john007abc]

Nice shots! What quick release plate do you use? Your setup looks solid when you rotate your camera. Thanks!

[@andrewbeckett]

Great vid man, love west coast seascapes! What ND filters do you use?

[@SuriyaNarayanan987]

very nice content 👌

[@TheCurls1]

hey Michael, i couldnt see a link to that filter-is that the kase magnetic-zero faf! great stuff thanks

[@gwisesan]

Hi Michael. I like shooting the sea stacks at Rodeo Beach. Where are these?

[@marcogalimberti5846]

very nice where is this place? Thanks

[@keshavamurthyy471]

Which tripod and head you were using..

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I also shoot a lot of vertical compositions. So, I have L brackets for all my bodies. I don't like the camera pulling the center of gravity off to one side when you tilt the ball head. Plus, L brackets make panos a lot easier. Ever consider it? EDIT: that wave at 12:35 gave me a flashback to when my R5 got knocked over in very similar circumstances last April! It survived; the lens needed replacement. Be careful even in mild surf!

[@prjw73]

7:19 You went from F8 to F9 to F4.5? What mode were you working in and were you paying attention to your aperture?

[@MichaelShainblum]

Manual mode and yes I was paying attention to the aperture. Everything was at infinity at 4.5 so it did not make a difference.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Its called Ocean Beach or Sutro Baths :)

[@robertstonephoto]

@@MichaelShainblum Thank you!

[@robertstonephoto]

Just watched the 1958 'film noir' movie "The Lineup". It has a long, climactic scene at Sutro Baths, followed by what was, at the time, the best car chase scene ever. (Not surpassed until car chase in "Bullitt" in 1968. also in SF.) You may be able to catch it on the TCM channel.
