The best part of this video (aside from your excellent images) is that we were able to enjoy some stunning light and seascape outing without getting wet! 😁

[@MichaelShainblum]

hahaha thats true ;)

[@ko300zx]

I continue to go back to the same spots over and over and with seascapes, it is never a problem. With different weather, sunsets, tides, seasons, etc. it is pretty hard to come away with the same images. Always something new to capture.

[@MichaelShainblum]

agreed!

[@christianmani1730]

Looks like Rodeo Beach, just a few miles from the Marin Headlands. Back in the late 90’s Galen Rowell used to take his workshop classes to this beach to get seastack images right where you are standing in front of those three stacks. At certain times of the year you can get the sun setting just between two of the stacks. We were using Fuji Velvia film shot at ISO 40.

[@randyschwager2515]

Great images and excellent advice! Thanks for taking us along!

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks Randy!

[@MichaelShainblum]

[@michaelmckeag960]

A novice at seascapes I watch your seascape videos with keen interest. It is such a dynamic situation, clearly speed and nimbleness is a priority. Ditch the geared head, ball head a necessity, no cable release, no shutter delay, take advantage of the image scale of super wide angle and leave one hand free for operating the camera the other free to grab the tripod in an instant when necessary. This is the first video in which I’ve seen you using an L bracket rather than flopping the ball head. Switching the L bracket does require decoupling the camera from the tripod briefly, a moment of vulnerability, perhaps best timed when the water is flowing out. Persistence is the other lesson, keep working the situation until the light runs out. What a workout! Stunning results.

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much for watching Michael! Hah yeah the L Bracket made it into this video. I finally remembered to put it back on my camera ;)

[@michaelmckeag960]

My first seascape photography experience was a week-long workshop on the Oregon coast this October. We had high surf. Arriving at location at first light, looking down on the maelstrom, I could tell even our instructors were taken aback. The last sentence of the safety talk was, “If you fall in there is nothing we can do to save you.” With that we descended to the rocks and frothing chaos.

[@wowtimelapse1337]

Outstanding video as always, Michael! I really liked your tip about treating the sea stacks the same way you'd treat mountains. Seascapes have never been my thing but your videos always make me want to get out and try anyway. And shout out to the new tripod head! See you in DV. -Vince

Hey Vince, thanks so much for the comment man. I am so excited to catch up in DV, its going to be amazing!

[@OHBrowne]

I’ve already seen someone asking the same thing in your comments, afraid I have to jump on the bandwagon too! I’d really like to see how you put the two exposures together. I recently upgraded from a kitlens to a better quality lens and was offered a great deal on Kase filters, so I bought them too. Really enjoy using them and like that I don’t have to carry grad’s, but I’m not sure how to put exposures together. I like to do a lot of seascapes and coastal shots and get stuck with how to combine the exposures for this. Thank you for all your videos, there’s so much valuable learning in them!

[@photosonthebay9341]

[@andrewsimpson5436]

That's a great spot and a good set of images. My personal motto is "if you don't get wet, you're not trying hard enough" 😁

[@MichaelShainblum]

We share the same motto, thanks so much Andrew!

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

[@danmckee4988]

Ah…yes…shoot local and shoot often, even if you don’t think the conditions seem favorable…and even when you’ve already gotten stunning photos…because there’s ALWAYS another great photo just waiting for you to capture! I’ve used this discipline many times in my local area and been rewarded many times.

[@spikesilvernail206]

Nice video! I like your message about coming back to spots in different conditions. I am curious about the rail system you're using that's mounted to your camera body as it allows you to easily swap from horizontal to vertical shot. Looked for the link but didn't see it. Thanks!

[@JohnPaul-ii]

You are right, can’t do seascape’s properly without getting wetter than you wanted. Can be quite relaxing, apart from the headless chicken moments when the light is really kicking off, and …… you know the feeling. Thanks for sharing again Michael. Stay safe 🇦🇺

[@andreablasko3434]

Hi Michael Why were you shooting at F4? Did you focus directly on the sea stacks? Wouldn't the swirls be out of focus with such a shallow depth of field? thx

Great video and as always gorgeous images. Would you mind sharing what you use for mic. Your sound is so good compared to some outdoor KZbinrs.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Patricia! I use a Tascam Lav Mic. Its a midrange mic, nothing too fancy, but it really does a good job in these loud situations.

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

@@MichaelShainblum Aww, thank you so much Michael! I'll check it out. Happy Holidays to you!

[@berkletheclownsvideos2461]

May I ask what beach you were at? I live in Northern California and I am always looking for seascape locations.

[@riskyriesco]

Do you leave the steadyshot On during long exposures?

[@lancebryson9013]

I know most of the photos are taken at 1/4s to 1/2s for the water movement but how to do you prevent blurriness from the water hitting the tripod (or even the tripod sinking in the sand)?

[@DisHappah]

I live in San Jose. Can you give me a location to this spot so I can take photos, too? Love your content and thank you.

[@robertbarnes2598]

I'm wondering what type of wide field night skys you could get here. Maybe a nice Milky Way panorama from the top of the cliff? It might be tough as the MW is south east and the sea is likely west.

[@MichaelShainblum]

I wish you could, but its super close to light pollution in San Francisco, the stars are very faint.

[@kaosimagery]

When you are bracketing, are you using the auto bracketing function?

[@MichaelShainblum]

All manual, not a huge fan of the auto function

[@maximusyeung3219]

If you have a 82 mm lens, do you use a 82 mm or 95 mm magnetic circular ND filter from Kaze?

[@Harleybobtailminnow]

Go for a size bigger, that way you can stack without vignetting

[@MichaelShainblum]

If you are using an 82mm thread maybe doing the 95 will be a safer option. It depends how wide of a lens the 82mm thread is on. If its a midrange lens or telephoto the 82mm thread should be fine. If its a wide angle lens absolutely you will want 95mm to get the full benefit.

[@jasoncasco348]

your tripod link doesn't work, which tripod and head is that?

[@saeidrostami]

Thank you Michael .amazing video 👏🏻 Good luck bro 💪🏻

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks man!

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Great work, Michael. One question: why not use a remote release, either cable or wireless? I'd worry about inadvertent camera shake from using the shutter. I know you're holding down the camera, but still. Thanks.

[@earshelhogan6148]

I would venture a guess that it has something to do with how dynamic the situation is. Not just compositionally, but in situations like at 8:29, it's probably beneficial to have your hands free and clear of any remote so you can have a confident grip on the tripod, and it's easy to drop a remote while scrambling to lift your gear out of a wave's reach.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks John, I really apprecite you watching. I personally haven't found camera shutter shake when using the wide/ultra wides for seascapes. I find that shutter click shake is more of an issue the longer the focal length. So I will generally set a timer when I am doing midrange or telephoto long exposures. For seascapes there is just so much happening with the waves crashing in that I prioritize having a firm grip on the camera and keeping the tripod as stationary as possible.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

@@MichaelShainblum thanks for responding. I love your videos. I use a self-timer most of the time for landscape shots, except when timing is important. Such as waiting for the wind to stop moving foliage, or for catching just the right wave motion like you did. That's where my cable release is handy. I might still have to hold the tripod for extra stability, but no worries about click shake.

[@RScottNH]

What kind of ball head are you using Michael?

[@MichaelShainblum]

its from the Colorado Tripod Company :)

[@larsagren6595]

Thanks for a nice video. When did the Kase filters get a colour cast? Havent seen this in Kase filters in Europe.

Hey there Lars, thanks, the filters do not have a colour case. They are pretty neutral.

I had the first version of Kase magnetic filters. They constantly would fall off when moving locations, especially the magnetic lens cap.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Odd I have not experiences that before. Sounds like it might have been a bum copy, did you reach out to them about a replacement?

@@MichaelShainblum same problem , especially the cap , just falls off everytime you take the camera out or jostle the bag, very weak magnet, but i understand the new version is improved.

It is very chaotic presentation. you are waving the camera instead of showing step by step slowly and comprehensively how to capture the see using long exposure method.

[@MichaelShainblum]

I am sure there are plenty of channels here on KZbin that will satisfy your viewing needs.

[@TAdams-hx9lk]

Actually, I think that was meant as constructive criticism Michael. I too would have appreciated a slower more educational approach. Love all your pics...just sayin'.

[@AutisticBiceps]

This really isn't a how-to, and more a vlog of your trip to the beach...

[@MichaelShainblum]

There is plenty of how-to and education in this video. But if this isn't a style of video you enjoy then no worries.
