I love the way you talk about your photos! I feel like there is a lack of personality in how most photography KZbinrs speak about their photos. You just bring life to the medium!

[@paulus0109]

Beautiful images Michael. Not bad for an overcast day. I inmideatly saw a turtle in the rock eating an egg.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks! Haha I can see that too!

[@Adisa1992]

I saw a turtle as well

[@karlthefirst8690]

A couple of beautiful images in there, Michael. I love seeing through the lens as you’re composing. Thanks as always for the video.

[@MarinalliaArt]

Thanks for this beautifull images and peacefull video ! 🕊

[@belaacs5238]

Thanks for the "focus stacking each corner and one in the center" technic. Nice close up images, my kind of photography. It's never get boring and always unique.

[@pattymattes7124]

I love the textures and the colors you captured. Lovely!!! For the dragon image I like the closer shot the best. Thanks for sharing with us!!!

[@lynnsargeant2749]

Loved it ! Especially the close up shots …. More More More!

[@Giles29]

That would be just a cool place to go, even if you weren't going to photograph it. Amazing work on the photos too.

[@daymonpearcey8468]

Fantastic video and some very cool pictures. Makes you realise how much you can miss I'm the small details.

[@10shxf]

Love all those images and this type of photography, its just fascinating to look at the close up world. Brilliant thankyou 👍🏻

[@markjacksonphotos]

A set of really stunning images and very and great to watch your creation of them.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

I love this type of photography and find myself shooting rocks quite ofte. Stunning images Michael, thanks for sharing.

[@ashwinvasavada8401]

This was fun. The abstracts leave so much to the interpretation of the viewer. Great unique video!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Michael you've got a good eye for the details. Your work was interesting enough that I subscribed to your channel.

[@johncampbell8210]

Happy Sunday.!! Coffee and another video from Michael!!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Great ideas for the future! I love the tide pool shot. I lived in La Jolla briefly 60 years ago and was fascinated by them. Today I’d love to do a whole series on tide pools, including the marine life in them.

[@nicksaunders106]

Thanks Michael,great to see your technique and process!

[@sharonlee782]

I love these. They look like aerial shots. That close up dragons egg is so cool and you can so see the dragon protecting her egg. Great stuff Michael, love your work 💜

[@juanitakelly3082]

Another inspiring video Michael! I love finding 'faces' in nature though I thought the dragon was a turtle! And the diver's helmet was a dragon eye, like Smaug! The patterns were just delicious and captured to perfection. Great tips!

[@mitzimckay7934]

Gorgeous textures, shapes and colors.

[@jimsjourney3926]

Really enjoyable thank you and great images too!

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

beautiful images! Always interesting to look at small details!

[@lillybugfilms5786]

Fantastic production from star to finish Michael. Each image was considered and patiently captured and it was too hard to choose a favourite. Would love any one of them, if not all hanging on my walls. As someone very new to the photographic process I find myself learning many great tips from your videos and this one was no exception. Thank you.

[@SavageAppOfficial]

Always fun to get a glimpse into your process.

[@bethwodephotography]

Hi Michael does anyone purchase your abstracts? Just wondered how popular they are compared to your landscapes. 😀

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Thanks for taking us in a great adventure to another planet !! Great to see your creative visions some to life buddy

[@mikelitecky1549]

Was thinking of a Turtle when I first saw the image but you vision of a dragon and wings was just perfect. So enjoy you videos, thanks.

[@peterfritzphoto]

Some truly gorgeous images here, Michael. I love the way you shot this video, too. Nice, close, and personal. Very chill. Felt like I was there, hanging with you.

[@JOHNDIIORIO]

Really enjoyed this video. I’m always inspired by your eye and how you can capture these incredible images from seemingly nothing.

[@susanbreau]

Your clothing choice matched the amazing environment!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks for watching Susan :)

[@tonymurphy9112]

Michael more of thease videos please, absolutely magnificent :-) WELL DONE

[@RoseMarieRaccioppi]

Such delight in your journey of textures... Thank You.

[@pdarnold481]

Just awe inspiring!

[@leojphilip732]

Beautiful images! I loved the closer shot of the dragon.

[@JeffZias]

Wow! I live close to the spots you shot at, and have composed "rock studies" there on overcast days. To observe your approach, and results, at the very same location, was SO educational. And sadly, I'll take all of your shots over the ones I came away with :-) But this is the way to learn ... thank you!

[@reddogtwelve]

Where is this location?

[@eddiegutierrezjr6226]

@@reddogtwelve Africa.

[@robertocastro4403]

Awesome place. Great pictures! I like better the closer one of the dragon and egg, It's less busy... Thanks for sharing.

[@abdulhalimekram4151]

Love this 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ziadkassas1332]

Really enjoying learning from you Michael, keep doing what you're doing it's amazing!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Ziad!

[@benteedvardsen1842]

I love the last pic and i dont know why but i se the face of E.T in it. Keep up the great work 🙂

[@goanheat]

Beautiful images, loved the dragons egg shot.

[@jrcandela77]

very cool images !!! love them all ; )

[@markjandera2762]

Nice shots Michael liked everyone of them very good Very abstract

[@vedarius]

Nice frames Michael! Well done! I like to shoot textures too. You found such a beautiful place with that many amazing rock fragments that let one make an endless series of abstract frames! I wish I was there too!..

[@tednaperkoski4564]

I like the pulled back wider shot of the rock.

[@chrisvantwiskphotography]

cool video and that with the boulder in the water looks like a dragon going for their egg, super nice

[@dhonnavlogs4830]

its look amazing video.💯♥️first like😘

[@wimscheenen3535]

Great images as usual. I like the close-up of the ‘dragon-and-egg’ composition. So much imagination in that photo.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Wim! :)

[@trevorpayne2749]

love these. second one of the rock wall my favourite. Could live with that one for a long time spotting some new detail every time its looked at.

[@gotophotoarchive9131]

Cool footage again.

[@patrickshepherd3262]

My two favorite images are the closer shot of the dragon protecting its egg, and the last image which reminds me of a drone shot looking down on a river flowing through a canyon.

[@lu8cho]

Cool video Michael! Hope everything is well buddy 👊🏽

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

You're very lucky that you live where the geology is very interesting and well exposed. San Francisco is one of the most complicated geologic environments anywhere. And it makes for beautiful landscape photography; as you have shown, many times. If you took one introductory class in geology all these interesting rock formations would take on a much different meaning. I did not know it at the time, but studying geology would combine perfectly with my hobby of landscape photography.

[@sharondmeber3802]

You have such a great eye for abstracts! My favorite was the close up of the dragon protecting her egg😊

[@dushshantha]

You always inspire me to go out no matter what the conditions are. I love to go on a workshop with you someday. Also, I thought the images from today's video are representations of grand landscapes in miniature form. The very first one looks like an aerial shot of a beach but fossilized. One before the last looks like an aerial shot of a river from a different planet.

[@KellyPettit]

Excellent video. Love those abstract compositions. I'd still be looking for one. :P

[@gabbee1382]

Thank you Michael, I have never thought of shooting textures before. I am guessing that the composition would play a huge part in making a pleasing image.

[@attilaborviz7311]

I like it, thank you!

[@EmileModesitt]

I like that "focus stack the corners" technique. Never heard that before but now I'll keep it in mind!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Wow mate I am not going to lie but some of the nicest images I seen this year on KZbin your dragon egg I see a turtle protective the diver helmet I like the one when it's on the thirds

[@michaellundphotography]

Great job Michael as always! Ill have to come back to this spot and see if I can find these gems you found =)

[@kansascityrc]

I love how some of these images look like drone photos from a different planet. I could spend hours there!

[@joe3eagles]

I've been meaning to try some more abstract, intimate landscape shots, myself. Thanks for the inspiration! BTW, good choice of clothes. They pretty closely matched the colors of the rocks. I could barely see you! 😉

[@andrewfindlayphoto]

Lovely stratification photography, Michael 😊

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Andrew!

[@mariomifsud1302]

Keep up the good job and thanks for sharing

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you!

[@fingerstylefan]

I sometimes think about trying stuff like this but it never turns out. Thanks for the inspiration to keep trying.

[@rodgraham1890]

Close-up of the dragon was my favorite. The wider view had too much distracting “stuff” on the left. Interesting video!

[@trustmeplease100]

I have been drawn a bit more towards the intimate side of landscape photography lately and as you I find it a lot more difficult. I really enjoyed hearing what you saw in each frame and I think it will make me look for comps in a different way in the future

[@Emmermacher]

It's amazing to see your style of photography, Michael. I prefer the closer picture with the "Boulder".

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@wendynewing8834]

My favourite shot of the two is the close-up of the dragon protecting her egg. In your last shot - the one that reminded you of a diver's helmet, looking at the blue 'eye' along from it, it reminded me of the face of ET.

[@LeandroOliveira-hs6su]

The pulled back wider shot of the rock in the pond is more well balanced in terms of color and texture. Definitely!

[@fototripper]

Why are there 9 haters giving thumbs down? Did you offend someone with your artistic photography and cinematography?

[@MichaelShainblum]

Haha thanks man. Not sure, anytime I do something even remotely different a few people give a thumbs down, wish those people would just politely unsubscribe to the channel.

[@fototripper]

@@MichaelShainblum Yes 'politely unsubscribe off'

[@francoisauchatraire6424]

The last photo is fantastic. greeting from Reunion Island François

[@davidstarkey3002]

Great video , love all those textures . I saw a turtle rather than a dragon .

[@briestockwell5402]

Love the textures. Awesome location! Did you notice that your outfit matches the rocks?? Built in camouflage;)

[@carljarvinen1189]

Loved all of the images, I liked the wider shot of the “dragon’s egg”. Curious have you ever used a macro lens for this type of photography or do find that a wide zoom is more useful?

[@1young-geezer]

Tremendous location.

[@82300sd]

Tafoni, always fun to shoot!

[@DavidUstick]

I like the close up Dragon view !

[@wendypesavento4815]

One of my first photo shootsmfurned out to be a day with flat light. Right before left I googled how to shoot in flat light and the first thing that popped up said, "Look for color contrasts up close." I had a really great shoot.

[@cathymildenberger4877]

My favorites were toward the end with the orange and turquoise blue tone images.

[@PiotrKowalskiPhoto]

How come You have so little subs is beyond me. Great quality as always !

[@bizeffex]

I like the close up of the "dragon" and egg

[@gayleruble6529]

Absolutely loved the abstract images and your creative passion that is unstoppable even when the conditions don’t seem perfect! One odd question though…what type of hiking pants are you sporting there? I’m always on the hunt for some pants that are durable and comfortable to accommodate while shooting.

[@proach3]

I like the pulled back dragon shot. I shoot things like this too but know not to post them anymore bc the masses don’t ‘like’ them

[@ledesclos5321]

Love this content, well done, good eye. I like both dragons, which look like a turtle to me.

[@jean-guyhuot7869]

I would go for the closse up on and I find it really looks like the head of a turtle protecting it's egg. Excellent photo 😀👍

[@celeno31]

good tuto my friend

[@maxencelemoine4190]

I love these kinds of photographs, abstract, texture... But I struggle so much to find appealing compositions

[@lorrets9775]

You have a good way of making the best of the place and light. The first images remind me of elephants. 8:23 looks like a rainbow . My favourite is the sand 9:40

[@loribeasley1956]

I like the close up, I see the image as a sea turtle.

[@Tridev_arts]

After A long time

[@nh-ss5pw]

Nice. We have the exact same geological formations on the coast of Wellington, so so similar .

[@carmenjgarciap8153]

At 11:17 it looks like an aerial image of a glacier surrounded by rocky mountains. As always nice eye to catch these images.

[@praytera7949]

Your clothing matches the landscape.

[@josephcole3187]

I got some nice stuff like this down in Costa Rica, something about the colors and textures in rock formations are way cooler to spot than your typical landscape. I’ll send you a couple on ig.

[@glenwratt7814]

The image at around 9.30 mark of a sandstone structure looks like it was taken on a d90 with a really high ISO

[@leeemousine]

Hey Michael, what ballhead are you using here? Looks very smooth

[@j16m02]

It's funny, you saw a dragon, I immediately saw a turtle with the flippers along the bottom.

[@johncampbell8210]

Good Morning!!

[@honorab6220]

Lovely images. I preferred the tighter dragon shot. The images near the end of the video with the strong blue and orange tones were really appealing too. Did you purposely match your clothes to the rocks ;-)

[@lindaholtphotography]

The pulled back one, it has more to the imagination. I really like the one that looked like alien skin. Like you I think the abstract gives you a challenge but only certain types of photographers understand that…
