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

[@andylaurel]

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

[@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 !

[@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!

[@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!

[@nicodottaphoto]

Woow! Really awesome! Great pictures!

[@SmurfingGhoul]

Hey man, looks awesome! Which canyon was this? Thanks

[@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!😲

[@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......

[@sauravus]

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

[@ian_worth]

Stunning work Michael 👏👏

[@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!!

[@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 ❤

[@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

[@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!

[@summitpaul]

Beautiful places. Beautiful photos. Beautiful video. Bravo Michael 👏👏👏

[@c.alcazar2584]

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

[@photogman390]

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

[@michaelgoulding4425]

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

[@hansjorgbreithaupt6803]

inspirational photos and videos. Great job!

[@MichaelShainblum]

thank you so much! :)

[@mayank40994]

Michael, you make my heart happy.

[@michaelj.1121]

Truely epic - both shots & video 👍

[@Robertobinetti70]

Thanks 🎉

[@sarahbatsford4791]

Absolutely wonderful. On my bucket list and tomorrow would be great!! Look forward to your next video.

[@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.

[@jeffreymonk9987]

Great Video Michael, Iceland is in my bucket to visit one day and your shots help to punch Iceland to the top of that list!

[@tjcuneo]

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

[@kevinharding1181]

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

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you Kevin!

[@kelesoglan.]

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

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks so much!

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Simply Stunning images Michael, thanks for sharing

[@flaviopresutti]

Awesome videos and pictures, congrats! Greetings from Uruguay!

[@philiphatton]

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

[@frankottopedersen8241]

Wonderful video and images, Michael! 😍😍 Glad you went back to Iceland 😊

[@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

[@arunhegden]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@janroos7518]

Really love the rock abstracts and the tele detail shots

[@waldemars.6817]

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

[@deBurrows]

Gorgeous vblog Michael and very well varied.

Stunning video and photos again Michael!

[@billypayne6197]

Excellent !!! Drone shots are AMAZING !!!

[@sophiaannelizabeth]

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

[@samuelequaranta1108]

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

[@IDKWID_Shaving]

not sure how widely held this idea would be, but the click-baity title meant I took several days before relenting and watching. This was a way, way better video than the title suggested

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you Craig, really glad you enjoyed it! Honestly I am the same way when it comes to watching videos. But the analytics/data suggests otherwise for my wider audience. Also with the way KZbin treats its recommended videos, unfortunately you might not have even seen this video pop up with a more basic title. Its a weird game that this platform encourages its creators to play. One that for a long time I wasn't willing to play and was penalized for it pretty heavily. The channel was stagnant and my subscribers said my videos were not even popping up in their feeds anymore. Again I am really glad you chose to watch the video anyways and am thrilled that you enjoyed it! :)

[@IDKWID_Shaving]

@@MichaelShainblum thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'm ootl when it comes to the algorithm so this was interesting to read. Kinda wish it wasn't so but again, the video was spectacular

[@bradrobertsonimagery9964]

stunning video and images Michael. Quantity and quality. You are the master!

[@MichaelShainblum]

thank you so much Brad!

[@larrysalaets7088]

Stunning images! I have to visit Iceland someday!

[@direkta]

Amazing 😍 Everything is so well done and you realy make me feel im there with you, capture all this stunning landscapes 🙏 cant wait for your next video 😁😁🤩

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much Tobias!

[@alanclark9691]

Beautifully composed video Michael. Thankyou.

[@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🥂

Amazing stuff as always Michael!

Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@LandscapesDronescapes]

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

[@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… ❤

[@gokhansut8875]

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

[@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.

[@PHILI041]

Fabulous content, most informative and certainly enjoyable.

[@aslebaraa7088]

Great film. Nice to see something new from Iceland.

[@pematamang9268]

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

[@MichaelShainblum]

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

[@jefersondantas20]

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

[@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.

[@dawnlb83]

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

[@MyWildMinnesota]

Stunning work in every way.

[@allisongraham7003]

Liked and subscribed as I found this so inspiring, so enjoyable to watch thank you.

[@mayankrana3345]

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

[@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.

[@johnleftwich650]

Really beautiful Michael.

[@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.

[@sirajgraphy]

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

[@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!

[@nelehoremans2546]

wonderful video, showing us other ways than the obvious shot to enjoy wonderful Iceland, looking forward to more videos of your trip! Must say I myself also visited Iceland end August and I thought I passed you in Kevlavik airport, but wasn't sure, (on August 27), regards and thanks for your inspiring video!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@glynparry6598]

Nice images and video Michael

[@RFranks]

Really like the abstracts!

[@brianmckeever5280]

Spectacular drone work. The image @ 8:02 is my favorite still: I love something as solid as rock when it looks like its flowing in different directions. I enjoyed the creativity and different types of images you included here. What was on your buddy's back at 12:50? Looks like a gigantic mechanical insect. I'm guessing a serious drone?

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Brian, glad you enjoy that image :) at 12:50 is another drone for very serious video work.

[@tompetersphotography]

No words bud! Them Ariel shots at the end were something else

[@hachewie]

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

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you! :)

[@lu8cho]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@ericcoulter95]

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

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 :)

[@robbieallcock]

Fantastic video & photos 🤩 🇮🇸

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thank you! :)

[@outdoorsinontario3037]

Nice controller dance at the end! SLO mo def needed eh

[@sohamparikh3085]

Awesome work as always, Michael! I'm curious on why you choose longer shutter speed for some static shots (like rock formation) instead of taking a quick capture at a faster shutter speed and lower aperture

[@MichaelShainblum]

Thanks Soham! So for those shots I am using the higher Fstops to achieve focus around the entire image, rather then have to focus stack images (which is my least favorite thing to do) hahaha
