I CHANGED This ONE Thing to Take Better Landscape Photography in ICELAND

This trip capturing landscape photography in Iceland was spectacular. Although after my last trip here in 2016, I almost didn't come back. In this video, I share why and the one thing I changed to create better photography in this gorgeous country.

This is the highest quality landscape photography content on KZbin right now. Love it.

[@the_invisible_photographer]

I'm heading to Iceland for the first time this week, and this video was the inspiration I needed. I cannot wait to be there. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and your photography ❤

[@janroos7518]

Really love the rock abstracts and the tele detail shots

[@kelesoglan.]

This is your masterpiece I have ever seen, Congratulations from Türkiye and I hope visiting us.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@gokhansut8875]

You're doing great work, Michael. I watched without breathing.

[@NigelDanson]

Loved this. Those texture shots on the rocks were stunning. And wise words as usual as well.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Nigel, I really appreciate it! Hope all is well!

[@ErwinChung]

It's kind of funny to see you in the intro at the edge of the cliff, because the shallow depth of field makes you look like you are in front of a green screen 🤣 Love all of your videos!!

[@KellyPettit]

Epic landscape but an even better mini documentary about your trip. Your story telling and photos are truly special. Thanks for taking us with you on your journey. Looking forward to the sequel.

[@gabyisphoto2379]

Iceland is truly one of my favorite places on this planet and you succeeded to show its beauty in a very unique and different ways from many other photographers. Kudos Michael!

[@alanclark9691]

Beautifully composed video Michael. Thankyou.

[@NickPage]

So good man! Beautiful images And footage

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much Nick! How have you been? We need to catch up and shoot sometime!

[@NickPage]

@@MichaelShainblum agreed !

[@TheOnlyGuess]

Iceland could be considered as the dream location for any landscape photographer. At least it is for me. Thank you Michael for your beautiful videos

[@Kabouterplop01]

Your imaging, filming and timelapse making has become truly epic! Even the water which was filmed so crisp made me even thirsty. Exceptional way of enjoying!

[@aslebaraa7088]

Great film. Nice to see something new from Iceland.

[@1young-geezer]

Hilarious closing shot! But seriously Michael, just another tremendous video, lots and lots of great shots, different perspectives, and of course your thoughts - ALWAYS a super treat to watch, thanks......

[@kevinharding1181]

Iceland = THE Photographers' Playground. Some gorgeous images taken here Michael.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you Kevin!

[@billypayne6197]

Excellent !!! Drone shots are AMAZING !!!

[@californiasounddesign3921]

this video puts a smile on my face, i just got back from Iceland last week, my first time there, it was such an amazing trip for hiking and photography

[@photogman390]

One word about your work: "INCREDIBLE"......can't wait to see more.

[@c.alcazar2584]

Never been to Iceland but what a gorgeous place, beautiful photos....can wait for the next one, enjoy and stay safe.....

[@cryptographer3]

Michael, I have been following you since a very long time now. You have been an inspiration to me in many of my projects.

[@rcarder2093]

That was the best B Roll video I have ever seen in a KZbin video. I don't do video myself, but I watch a lot of KZbinrs. The footage in the beginning with you standing near the edge made me feel like I was standing there with you!😲

[@mayank40994]

Michael, you make my heart happy.

[@joebecker3107]

Stunning work in every way.

[@CliveTalbuttPhotography]

Nice video - I was there 4 times in2016,17,18 and two weeks ago I too had never felt like I have done justice to the place - but the last time I think I finally did the place justice!

[@vladphotos]

Great to see International travel again in your vids.

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much Vald! I am so excited to be back at it again!

[@wademorales]

Beautiful work 🤙🏼

Loved every photo...do it again!

[@MichaelShainblum]

thanks so much, more to come!

[@tilikumtim5562]

Fantastic shots, especially the aerial river shots at the end, love the abstract look to them. You always pick the right music to complement the photos as well!

[@ian_worth]

Stunning work Michael 👏👏

[@nicodottaphoto]

Woow! Really awesome! Great pictures!

[@tjcuneo]

Enjoyed the drone images .. such an interesting perspective. Thanks

[@dawnlb83]

So many beautiful shots and the video was just stunning! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sauravus]

Amazing work Michael! You’ve a very different perspective towards landscape photography and it’s very inspiring to watch❤

[@anbuziad]

This is so amazing to me because you captured such unique images that I have personally never seen before ! I will definitely be trying out the close up repeating pattern approach! Amazing video as usual makes me wanna go out and shoot :)

[@flaviopresutti]

Awesome videos and pictures, congrats! Greetings from Uruguay!

[@PHILI041]

Fabulous content, most informative and certainly enjoyable.

[@CluelessYoutuber]

Iceland is really mindblowing, and I too didn’t take as much images that I’m proud of in my last trip, so hopefully I can go back. Learned a lot from this, Michael. 😁 stunning images as usual.

[@juanitakelly3082]

A perfect location to use all the various techniques that you are so good at Michael. Love your ongoing introspection and analysis of your work and attitude that helps you enjoy it even more! We certainly benefit from it too!

[@agataWKW]

What a great video Michael! I love how you focused on details and more abstract, and not only on vistas shots. Every time when I do it in an epic location, people give me some weird looks... Good to know there are more of us, so I will definitely continue. And the shots of the waterfall with the rainbow... OMG! EPIC!!

[@kiwicit0]

Some really beautiful images from this video and your visit to Iceland. I could see you working hard to lift your vlogs to another production level also. Keep it up, your are going to take flight… ❤

[@LandscapesDronescapes]

Always a pleasure watching your content and learning from you Michael. Thanks once again

[@sirajgraphy]

Very spectacular place and amazing images, keep up the inspiring work Micheal

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Simply Stunning images Michael, thanks for sharing

Amazing! You always make me want to travel and shoot more!

[@lu8cho]

So awesome! The texture images were amazing! Looking forward to your volcano 🌋 photos!

[@JuhaniViitanen]

Stunning video and photos again Michael!

[@nuovain]

Grat shots! Especially the one with basalt columns! I just went to Iceland this summer and got a lot of beautiful landscapes photographs. Iceland is one of the most beautiful country on earth in fact my wife and I say that nothing will surprise us so easily after this trip unfortunately

[@robtraverssmith]

I always enjoy your videos, Michael, but this is your most interesting. Beautiful images & appreciate your peculiar style of narrating👏👏and the choice of concert piano was the cherry on the top🥂

[@jimhenley7253]

Great stuff!!!

[@michaelgoulding4425]

Beautiful images man, truly epic location and right time of year. Intimate images are gorgeous

[@waldemars.6817]

Thanks a lot Michael for the great images! Very inspiring!

Amazing images and love to visit Iceland one day. I love the video and great job and keep up the hard work.

Amazing stuff as always Michael!

Fabulous Michael.

What beauty you captured, and you captured it so beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@johnleftwich650]

Really beautiful Michael.

[@jefersondantas20]

OMG this is increíble images ,absolutely fantastic, congratulations 😮😮

[@john_norris]

Awesome Michael. Without blowing smoke up you; whilst watching your video I reflected on how talented and versatile you are. Great images, single, time lapse and even long exposure from a drone! So glad you returned to Iceland. From memory, you once mentioned that you went through a period of not wanting to travel too far. I am happy to see you out and about now. Best wishes from UK.

[@arunhegden]

listening to your soothing voice with the incredible footage. Absolutely magical.

[@philiphatton]

Blown away by the imagery throughout this video. Phenomenal work 👍👍👍

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Wow Michael! These are a whole new set of places and subject that I’ve never seen before. And you’ve done a great job of photographing them. There is a video clip near the end that I want to try as a still - water flowing over the edge of a fall with luminous green under the crystal water.

[@MarkRomine]

Good stuff!

[@mayankrana3345]

I really like your perspective on abstract photography of iceland. Love it. Very inspiring. 🤩

[@sirrichard77]

Amazing work. Great vid.👌

[@richardpesce5325]

Great video. I agree with you about the columns. I had similar thoughts when i was at fights spot. Thanks for this video Michael-it is a work of art!

[@jaishet3538]

Beautiful cinematic footage. We tend to get pressured to focus on the wide angle grand landscapes in a place like Iceland because that's what we see others doing. It's nice that you've shown us the intimate wonders of Iceland in places one would seldom notice. I wouldn't have thought to photograph abstract details when I'm hyper focused on getting "the shot" that I previsualized, if you know what I mean. Exploration is so much more enjoyable with an open mind.

[@RFranks]

Really like the abstracts!

[@rlfisher]

One of your most engaging videos and beautiful images. Even after three trips to Iceland, I cannot wait to go back and make more images. I do try to get the "iconic" images, and then go after some smaller scenes - your video inspired me with new ideas.

[@Nich0tep]

Beautiful.. the best Iceland Photography video I have seen yet..

[@MichaelShainblum]

I really appreciate that, thanks!

[@curthostetter187]

Glad to see you made it to the highlands. They offer so much and ask so little. Just keep the footprint small and they will provide miracles for endless adventures.

[@nicksaunders106]

Hi Michael. Stunning shots and time lapse. Such wonderful footage.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you! :)

[@donnakeeley4531]

Great photos. I so look forward to your videos as I know you'll do something different. These photos from Iceland are 'no exception. The photos of the braided river are stunning but I just love that photo you've already posted of the diagonal dappled light on the single hill and the dark foreground to give contrast.

[@hachewie]

Stunning images and a very well paced and entertaining video. 10/10.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you! :)

[@melissahall7009]

You're such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!! I hope to be able to buy some new lenses soon, and try more photography & purchase some of your courses.

Michael, you're my favourite photographer and I will not miss your video in KZbin and recently I learn composition tips from Jimmy Chin.

That means a lot to hear, thank you! Also a great person to learn from, Jimmy is a fantastic photographer.
