How I Shoot SEASCAPES | New Zealand Landscape Photography

[@JHGC80]

I love the picture of the rock on the beach. That little rock with the gold veins is amazing. 9:46

[@MichaelShainblum]

Sorry for the re-upload, I had to upload a new video file. Common trend for my videos so far. :P Anyways I really hope you enjoy the vlog, these are the first of many to come and have been a learning experience so far.

[@marekziba]

Your vlogs are incredible (as well as your photos and timelapses), can't wait to watch the next episodes :D

[@WhiteFace2012]

and absolutely love that u comment ur photos an explain what u think and why du u like them

[@PhotographerSen]

Inexpressible joy watching the video.

[@honorab6220]

Love the waterfall rock and I can't believe how much I liked the shot of the small rock. I doubt many photographers would notice that little rock when they're focused on shooting the boulders.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Your videos are like watching a movie wow. Love to visit that place the rocks are amazing love the fountain rock image well done you

[@minenu11]

Michael, I gotta say your work is simply inspiring.

[@nitrousblast1]

Just watched your video for the first time. Great photos and I really liked the thought process and explanations on why you chose the photo... and the settings. Great video. Thanks

[@Kanko.M]

Besides those amazing photos, those timelapses are just stunning to experience. Composed beautifully. The weather was gorgeous as so so are your vision and skills.

[@AlynWallace]

What a trip. Love how you perceive and capture the world

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much man! :D

[@sallyjberry805]

These are absolutely beautiful captures! What a joy to see your videos and time-lapse art. I appreciate the explanations later in the video. I have been serious about photography and a bit more time to practice only one year or so. The coastline boulders is my primary composition. I love your tips about getting closer to the water - however have a deep respect for the sea's power to take me away (I'm a feather weight person). I will continue to watch and learn from your incredible shoots and you experiences. Thank you!

[@zqian3264]

That Little Rock got some golden line on it. So breathtaking!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Gorgeous photos and agree about that last one. Also my favorite :)

[@fachiro1]

Michale. I have to say...this is such an awesome video. I'm a beginner and have pretty much learned everything so far by watching youtube...I'm so glad I stumbled onto you. I laughted out loud when you were in the water and the comments about your wet pants. SO TRUE AND MY WIFE HATES IT...but I've found that youre not going to get that certain shot unless you get soaked! Beautiful beautiful work Michael!!!

[@Vlaakster]

Stunning images, wow. Those time lapses that you lead off the video with are insane too. I can't get enough of this channel.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you so much Marshall, glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@actiaint]

Love that water off boulder shot! ...and I went out this evening and got wet but got a great seascape - thanks for that tip - have kept out of the water since losing a camera to a wave 3 years ago.

[@DavidSwarthout]

I loved the time-lapses. But your treatment of the lone rock in its pool was extra special. Nice work!

[@matthewkrah1567]

seriously by far , you make the best photography vlogs. I loved the cracked rock picture and the little rock with the pool of water around it, incredible work Michael!

[@aussiephotographer]

Thank you Michael. Amazing work and passion. Love your channel.

[@robertkilbourn5402]

Really pleased you take the time to show your photos at the end of your vlogs with your thoughts on composition and post work.. The images are amazing, and the shot with the little rock.. 😯🤯 just an inspirational photographer.

[@gregorsnell]

Dude your timelapses are absolutely incredible. LOVING the Epic Drama music too. On. Point. The sequence from 07:28 is magic.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Greg! Those clouds were so crazy to watch!

[@gurunath1710]

Yet another amazing vlog Michael. Loved that shot of the broken boulder with the water flowing out of it - can't stop looking at it.

[@GraphicsDreamHD]

The blues in that lake was incredible. New Zealand is on my top 3 places to visit and photograph for sure! Great vlogs so far, looking forward to more.

[@MichaelShainblum]

It was so cool to see in person. I hope the timelapses did at least a little justice to them. Thanks so much!

[@byoregon1]

Well done! I really appreciate the section at the end where you go over the tech details of the shots you showed earlier.

[@johnbaikiefilm]

Love the images of that rock

[@aaronjenkin]

Totally agree about NZ! Amazing landscapes, food, coffee and people!

[@Orlff]

you take my breath away, great work

[@vincentie]

Really enjoyed watching Michael, cool to see that you also gave some attention to the little rock. That would actually be a composition that you can capture on any other beach in the world, great stuff!

[@peggyclinton1]

Such an amazing photos as always. Reminding of our NZ trips a lot 🙂💕 Thank you for sharing Michael...

[@nldazuu]

Enjoyed your calmness presenting these stunning images, and yes the boulder and the fountain, perfect seascape image

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you so much Dave!

Oh man, that one, with the broken rock, is incredible !

[@wademorales]

Wow... you taught me a great lesson with that little rock. Didn’t think you could get such a cool image with that.

[@iemboyshostel]

Just awesome photographs... the last one is just awesome

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much man!

[@talvardi6]

Beautiful sceneries Mike, love how most frames aren't sunrise/sunset but simply good compositions and great timing, truly inspiring!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Tal! Really my favorite shot was that post sunrise image of the little fountain. The light was not super dramatic, but just really soft and complemented the composition well. I think we were just lucky to get any light at all that morning. Forecast was for more rain hahaha.

[@MochitoMaker]

Your video are beautiful! These transitions between "normal vlogs" are stunning: great visuals with an amazing sound.

[@melindapryor]

Great vid Michael. How good is my homeland 😍 I love your work, keep it up!

[@RoseKerin]

Just saw you on Smugmug. Looks like I have to get my feet wet. I'm from New Zealand.

[@StephenMilner]

Hey, what a fantastic video. Keep up the good work! I look forward to your next video.

[@MeganMarieT]

The time lapse in the beginning was amazing! Perfect timing with the clouds starting to come in! 😍

[@ericbrummel865]

Fantastic video again, Michael! I really love this series. Thanks for sharing your vision and experiences with us.

[@YiannisMan80]

Great job! Well done! Please make a day to night time lapse tutorial! And the full post process please if that is possible! Thanks

[@ivanachica140]

Hermoso totalmente hermoso

[@meloandres71]

Great pics!

[@jcbouden]

That Vlog was insane Michael ! New Zealand has always been a dream destination and your work really do justice to this beautiful country. Also, great timelapses with all those clouds rolling and that glacier water. You motivate me to push more and more !

[@AjAyJoshuAPhotographY]

You Are My True Inspiration! ThankYou Michael Shainblum. I Am Learning A Lot From You.

[@bethwodephotography]

Absolutely stunning images from this gorgeous location Michael. I was there in a rainy gloomy morning too but wasn’t lucky enough to get a sunrise. I still walked away with some moody keepers though 😀 I felt a “spiritual” connection to this place and wondered if u did too?

[@richmoorephoto3875]

Wow. That cracked rock shot is just outstanding 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bryanthornton6787]

Timelapse master!!

[@bobincdas]

Unreal stuff !

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@gregorytortissier5518]

Beautiful images, the time lapse is also inspiring with a well fitting music by the way. Superb work there Michael, looking forward to your next NZ input. Cheers

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Gregory!

[@johnjacob7287]

Beautiful.. thanks for sharing 🙏🏽❤️

[@sridipnag1117]

Beautiful video / imagery!

[@anthonykago4428]

Strange looking rocks. I hope to one day visit and shoot there. One day....

[@heogoon]

Background music is really matching with your video well.

[@paulharrison8579]

Great video - thank you for sharing your thoughts with the images at the end - that was really useful.

[@markusviol200]

You're Michael! NZ and its landscape is very diverse, has great food and coffee and great flair. Nice Video once again!

[@SgtNarrow]

Awesome content in a humble and respectable style! Beautiful shots, waiting to see more and getting some inspiration for my trip next year

[@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel]

Love that broken boulder shot.

[@bornforadventureie]

[@zjouephoto9723]

Subscribed. Really enjoyed seeing the creative process and the progress from scouting locations, planning shots, final images and settings.

[@Ram6prasad]

Wow! You are a genius! Loved that last picture 🤩

[@ObaydaJamal]

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you so much man! :D

[@bornforadventureie]

[@melissahall7009]

Love these!!! 🤗👏♥️ The photos turned out beautifully.

[@WhiteFace2012]

everything u do have extraquality, really love this video and those images, my favourite was the same as yours, real inspiraton 4 me

[@brian.walker]

Rad video. The final shot with the cracked rock, reminds me of a dinosaur egg looks incredible. Nice work!

[@guillermoguzman2736]

Congrats excellent vlogs of New Zealand. I am planning to visit next year any suggestions for the best time of the year for landscape photography Thanks!

[@Martya55]

Great content Michael,and it reminded me to throw my rocket blower in my bag.

[@MichaelShainblum]

I feel empty inside without it, thanks so much!

[@rocketmanab]

Dude. These shots.......

[@vikramvic7893]

Beautiful vlog loved it 😍😍😍 In last part images were too beautiful loved them 👏👏🙌🙌

[@stevebennettphotography]

Man, that entry sequence is worthy of high praise in it’s own right 👏👏👏. Fantastic images with great insight, plus a time lapse that makes me hate myself and my inability to get even remotely decent ones 😂

[@Noealz]

Nz on my list of places to visit someday :)

[@kevindickinson3600]

Want to live in New Zealand now!

[@akkarparkiamopas3401]

Do you recommend to use camera rain cover when we take seascape closed to the wave to avoid sea salt corrosion to our camera?

[@kenkelchtermans6476]

7:58 the bird shaped cloud appearing left upper corner gap in the clouds. :-o

[@ryanlamont5669]

Would you recommend the D850 9r maybe just go Z7II? I like them both

[@JustinMajeczky]

Great work man! Loved it.

[@stefancondik]

super nice shots :)

[@fototripper]

100% agree. If your pantaloons aren't at least partially soaked, you'll miss out.

[@MichaelShainblum]

There is really no better feeling, huh Gavin?

[@fototripper]

@@MichaelShainblum The best

[@instascapes]

This is such an awesome video Michael! Can you share the details of the tripod you’re using??

[@BMRTV]

5:09 I really like this shot.

[@riadhomari9560]

WOW

[@TheLordCyberex]

Yes, you're the best! :)

[@mikelitecky1549]

Great images Michael. Did you use a neutral density filter on the broken bolder shot?

[@شهاب.بن.عباس]

hard work... great result 😍✨📷❤ i love your time lapses 👏

[@pvtejasvi]

Great video. I love that broken egg shell fountain composition. I was hoping you would shoot it when I saw it at the start of the video. How busy was this location? Were you fairly alone during sunrise? Lake Pukaki and the southern lakes are truly phenomenal. The color is very much like Lake Brienz in Switzerland and Peyto Lake in Banff.

[@Up4View]

Great vídeo 🙌 incredible quality 👍 keep sharing 👌

[@shamcarz]

Such stunning images! What do you do to avoid sand getting in between the telescopic legs of the tripod. This is a common issue i have faced everytime I have ventured out into the sea water to photograph long exposure shots

[@MichaelShainblum]

I haven't found a solution to that yet. I just clean my tripod after most beach shoots. Thanks so much!

[@pugoxoxo]

You deserve more views dude keep it up 👏

[@kstseng]

So awesome Mike. When do you decide to use the circular polarizer or leave it out when it comes to water shots?

[@MichaelShainblum]

I use them a lot more when shooting more mid day scenes, or scenes facing away from the sun. I use them a ton for shooting timelapse and video clips. Any forest scenes and telephoto mountain stuff as well. Much less for seascapes though. Thanks so much!

[@ranjitvidyapati]

It's really incredible!! what were you doing at 4:49 with lenses ?

[@shaiazngye]

Blowing the water off from element

[@mountain_goat1]

Love the video and love NZ. Boulders are on east coast though:)

[@MichaelShainblum]

Just switched it, thanks so much!

[@annr3822]

Aww you did this for my Birthday?? ;) LOL , I
